A recent Daily News article stated, "About 80 percent of people in California who file for divorce handle their own paperwork, according to court officials. It's estimated that about one-third of all petitions have not been finalized."
Legal Action Workshop in Encino has been helping clients with their unique attorney-assisted do-it-yourself method since 1978. At Legal Action Workshop, you will meet with an attorney who will prepare your legal documents for you or can fully represent you. Over the years, they have helped many people finish a divorce they had started by themselves or with a paralegal or typing service. The attorney-assisted clients are charged low flat fees for work done for them. Any court appearances would be made on their own with advice from attorney
Frank Steinschriber. If things get too complicated, they can be fully represented.
Frank has over thirty years of experience with all aspects of family law including divorces, support and custody matters, paternity, step-parent adoptions, guardianship, conservatorship, name change, bankruptcy, estate planning probate and incorporation. He has extensive court experience and is familiar with local judges and courts.
"My most high profile case was in the mid 1980's when
Peter Holm, then the husband of actress
Joan Collins, made an appointment thinking he would do his own divorce. The case was a media sensation and Holm soon realized he needed full legal representation," Frank says.
Along with Holm and Collins and her "celebrity" attorney, the late
Marvin Mitchelson, Frank was frequently on the news and in the tabloids all over the world. When he deposed Collins one weekend, paparrazi hid in the bushes outside his office and a radio show called in to see how things were going. He was interviewed on the
Phil Donohue Show by satellite.
Most of the time, though, he works with ordinary people,helping them solve their legal problems for a reasonable fee. He is compassionate and caring." I like to resolve legal matters in a friendly and fair manner," Frank says. "However, as a lifelong softball player, I aggressively "go to bat" for my clients."
His support staff, his wife,
Julie and assistant
Soraya, are knowlegable and understanding, realizing that clients are coming to them at a difficult time in their lives.
After starting in Sherman Oaks, Legal Action Workshop has been located at 15840 Ventura Blvd. in Encino since 1993 and recently moved into Suite 307 to better serve their clients.They can be reached at (818) 995-4224.
Frank is an active volunteer in the community, having been President of the Board of Temple Ramat Zion Synagogue in Northridge and is still a board member. He was a volunteer youth basketball coach at Northridge Park when his children played. His son
Ron, who lives in St. Louis, is a teacher-in-training and basketball coach married to
Rachel, an attorney. His son
Justin, an attorney in Charlotte, is engaged to
Kirsten, an engineer.
