What We Do

Current Services

Document Translation

We translate documents from Spanish to English and English to Spanish, including forms, letters, and official records. Our team ensures accuracy and clarity and explains the content and purpose of each document so clients can fully understand and complete personal or administrative processes with confidence.

Pro Se Dissolution of Marriage

We assist individuals in completing necessary forms, understanding the process, and submitting documents to the court. While we do not provide legal advice, our support makes the process more accessible for low-income and underserved individuals pursuing uncontested or straightforward divorces.

Free Notary Services

We provide free notary services for individuals and families, with a focus on those who may have difficulty accessing notaries elsewhere.

Life Coaching Services

Led by our life coach, Sandra Padilla, we help individuals and families navigate major life transitions, including divorce, the loss of a loved one, or arriving as a new immigrant. Through personalized guidance, clients develop actionable plans and build confidence.

Family Mediation Services

Led by our Florida Supreme Court Certified mediator, Rafael Padilla, we assist families in resolving conflicts, including parenting plans and custody arrangements. Mediation is voluntary and collaborative, helping families reach fair solutions while maintaining respect and dignity.

Looking Ahead

Future Services

Immigration Services

Saint Simon does not currently provide immigration services, including legal advice, representation, or preparation of immigration forms. We are exploring the requirements to seek recognition from the Department of Justice (DOJ) to offer authorized immigration services in the future. For now, we provide referrals to nonprofit organizations and local attorneys.

Tax Preparation Services

We will assist low-income individuals and families with accurate tax filing, claiming all eligible credits and deductions, and meeting deadlines. Our goal is to make tax preparation affordable, accessible, and stress-free, helping clients manage their finances confidently.
