Press Release Summary: Suzanne Ervine, owner of Red Sky Legal, elected to leadership
position with the Alliance of Legal Documente Assistant Professionals, a state-wide
association for registered Legal Document Assistants (LDAs) and Paralegals.

Press Release Body: Sacramento, CA - Suzanne Ervine, a registered Legal Document
Assistant (LDA) in San Diego, was elected Vice President of the Alliance of Legal
Document Assistant Professionals (ALDAP) (www.aldap.com) at its annual meeting on
May 30 in Santa Ana, California.

ALDAP is a state-wide, non-profit association dedicated to furthering the legal
document assistant (LDA) and paralegal professions. Ervine is a co-founder of ALDAP,
and has served on the Board of Directors in many capacities, including Treasurer,
Membership Director and Director of Communications.

Ervine owns and operates Red Sky Legal (www.redskylegal.com) in Santee. She brings
to ALDAP more than a decade of experience managing non-profit organizations.
Following a successful career in philanthropy, she transitioned to the legal field
in 2001. In 2006 she left her position as a corporate paralegal and registered as an
LDA. Ervine is registered as an LDA in San Diego and San Luis Obispo Counties. She
holds an ABA Approved Paralegal Certificate and is a Certified Notary Signing Agent.
Ervine also currently serves as ALDAP's acting Director of Communications.

"Consumers are becoming more sophisticated, handling their own legal and business
matters and at the same time, the cost of attorney fees continues to increase
dramatically, making it difficult, if not impossible for consumers to afford legal
counsel," said Kathleen Mountjoy, ALDAP President.

"The legal access crisis is a long-standing and severe problem and it may never be
resolved. The courts and our legal processes can be confusing and many consumers
turn to document preparers to help with their legal affairs, creating a catalyst for
change," Mountjoy added. "The proliferation of self-represented litigants has
created an unprecedented demand for quality non-attorney legal service providers."

"I am thrilled to have this opportunity to shape the future of self-help legal
services," said Ervine. "ALDAP's commitment to enhancing professional integrity and
consumer protection is critical to the availability of realistic alternatives for
those who cannot afford, or choose not to hire, an attorney." ALDAP furthers the LDA
profession by offering seminars for continuing legal education, establishing and
promoting support for professional standards and regulatory compliance, and
educating the legal community and the general public about non-attorney legal
service providers.

About Red Sky Legal - Red Sky Legal is a bonded and registered legal document
assistant (LDA) offering \"self-help\" legal services to small businesses and
individuals who are handling their own legal matters without an attorney. The
company specializes in business formation and governance, including corporations,
LLCs and partnerships; wills, living trusts, health care directives and power of
