Attorney & notary services
Your documents, done right and signed with confidence.
Sotero Lopez helps individuals, families and small businesses with wills, property, contracts and the paperwork that holds them together, then notarizes it properly so it stands up when it matters.
What Sotero can help with
Two kinds of help under one roof: legal advice and document preparation, and the notarization that makes those documents official.

A lawyer who explains things before you sign them
Legal paperwork is where small misunderstandings turn into expensive problems. Sotero's practice is built on a simple habit: walking you through what every document means, what it commits you to, and what happens next.
Because he handles both the legal work and the notarization, you don't have to shuttle papers between offices. One conversation, one appointment, one person accountable for getting it right.

In a consultation you'll go over your situation, your options and the cost, with no surprises later.

Meet at the office or at a location that works for you. Bring a valid photo ID; Sotero handles the rest.
Common questions
What should I bring to a notary appointment?
A current government-issued photo ID (driver's license, state ID or passport) and the unsigned document. Don't sign ahead of time; the signature has to be witnessed.
Can you come to me?
Yes. Mobile appointments are available for homes, offices, hospitals and care facilities. Call to check availability and the travel fee for your location.
How much does a consultation cost?
It depends on the matter. Call or send a message describing what you need and you'll get a clear quote before any work begins.
Is my first message confidential?
Please don't send sensitive details in your first message. Contacting this office doesn't by itself create an attorney-client relationship; that begins once you've agreed to work together.
