Offer Legal Services and legal document preparation service.

Monet asks you to western union or Money gram them the money I should of realized it was a scam at that points. Usually legit places have offices or take credit cards in case scams like this. I had a Nigerian rip me off from western union I never learn lol.

I had a contract that has lots of issues that I wanted her to go threw. She said she will go threw it with me and let me know what each condition means and if we can amend it. After sending my documents and sending them the money. She said by next week she will contact me and go over the whole document. I never received a call and kept calling for weeks she never replied back or answered the phone.

After few weeks she said "Sorry for the delay, my system has been down 2 days and I have had to focus on getting it back up. You and I can talk today...8 Pm your time. I will make the call."

I never got the call, I kept calling her for another 3 weeks at least 15 times. I finally got her and she said she will call me later tonight and made a lame excuse.

I never got the call. Finally after a week or 2 later she emails me this bull ###:

"Please be advised that based on the type of contract that you are dealing with "franchise", my attorney friend stated that this type of contract is constant with the type of business venture you are pursuing; and that the components included support this. As advised, this contract involving a franchising has clauses inside that are set up to protect under the umbrella standard operations that these entities provide. "

She said she wont give me my money back and scammed me. I told her we agreed on that you will go threw the contract and you will amend it. She's like no sorry TALK TO A LAWYER and hung up.

She never told me what i had concerns with and explained it because she is NOT a Lawyer, paralegal.

I just read even if she is a real paralegal " In the United States, Paralegals are not authorized by the government or other agency to offer legal services."

Watch out scam artist. I have called the cyber crime police to put a formal complaint against her.

Her Name is Monet Carter.

Also Watch out she offer really good deals and says no pint of going to lawyer when she does this for a living.

I was quoted by lawyer $150 to go threw the contract and let me know each condition.

She was like send me $50 and I will do the same service, but she only take Money gram or Western Union.

"BBB Accreditation Status: This company is not a BBB Accredited Business." End quote. If you want to have good faith in a business seek one that is BBB affiliated. Part of the affiliation means the business has agreed to let the BBB arbitrate any complaints.

When your not accredited it useless to show your rating for a scam business. There lots of scam businesses that have a good rating on bbb that are not accredited

I have put a complaint and it was not shown so WATCH OUT cause there NOT Accredited Business

I used Monet of Paper Trail Paralegal services to prepare an opposition, order to show cause, admonishment, as well as counter claims to a lawsuit that was filed by my ex spouse. Thanks to Monet’s working with me at her office and taking all of the information required to fill out 62 pages of forms I was able to not only get my ex spouse’s lawsuit deemed frivolous by the courts, I was awarded legal fees in the amount of $1, 000.00. The Judge in the case also ruled in my favor on some but not all of the counter motions and admonished my ex spouse about filing more motions.

I not sure why this person “Vegasguy2000” who is from Canada has such a bone to pick with Monet & her company. It seems that he wanted her to change a contract that was not written by him, but by another company. If anyone understands contracts, you cannot just re-write them, you have to amend them or add clauses to them. No one in their right mind would ever agree to amend a contract for a mere $50.00. Also he first states that he just want Paper Trail to review the contract. Later in his rants he states that he wanted Paper Trail to amend the contract. Which one was it VegasGuy2000?

In closing I will say that I will always use Monet at Paper Trail Paralegal services for all of my simple legal forms and documents!

It is unfortunate that a dissatisfied customer would stoop to lies and slander. Monet Carter DBA Paper Trail Paralegal Services does have an office. It is located in Las Vegas, Nevada. And yes, she will request payment via Western Union or Money Gram IF you live outside of Las Vegas and are not able to meet with her at her office. However, her preference is to meet with you in person and receive payment in person. Further, Clark County, Nevada DID NOT revoke her license; it expired and was almost immediately renewed.
Like most any company, not every single customer will be satisfied, that does not mean, however, that the company is "bad". Usually, it simply means that the company and a particular client just were not a good fit. PaperTrail Paralegal Services is a good document preparation service; Monet is knowledgeable and knows what she's doing; and she takes pride in her company and her work.

I had Monet Carter prepare a legal document, when I got the document back from her it had 30 to 40 spelling and grammatical errors PER PAGE! When I showed it to a lawyer he laughed and asked me if an elementary school child wrote it and hoped I didn't pay someone for such a unprofessional piece of work.

This woman passes herself off as a professional, and is anything but. The content of the document was not only sub par, but so legally flawed that it would have done more harm than good to me in court. And forget about any client confidentiality, she ran down multiple other clients to me, right there in her office, when they called.

She also claims to have a business license and be with the BBB. She is not with the BBB and her business license was revoked by the county in 2006, maybe that's when she became a law diva.

I feel compelled to comment on Papertrail Paralegal Services. My name is LaSonya Williams and I have personally used her services. I found her to be very caring professional and well informed. I find it very disturbing that one individual would go thru such great lengths to slander someones reputation this way. Myself along with my husband went to meet with her at her local office and received affordable, fast and professional services. Her office was professional and comfortable. She was very personable and worked expeditiously to get my situation resolved and I am more than pleased with my results. I have not only recommended her services to my colleagues and friends but I have even shared with my friends and family nationwide.
I am very sorry for the gentleman above and I pray that he finds something better to do. Maybe you felt you didnt get the service you needed but to slander her this way is totaly unbelievable and not right. I'm sure you could have resolved it had you given her the opportunity or maybe you expected way more than you paid for. I would put my name on her anyday.
And for the record I am a real person.. If you want a reference leave your info and I will call you personally.
GOD BLESS..

Hello, I am John, Peter is using my email to post his comment as well. We both know this man he is a interesting character. We were both victims of this same scam, we fell for it and it costs us dearly. I have spoken to the owner of Paper Trail Paralegal services, and she is aware of this guy and has had to file harrassing call charges against this man. We have provided her all our documented information, so she can see just how he scamed us out of hundreds and then posted comments on the internet about our business as well.I hired an attorney to file charges for slander and libel against this man. I believe he is an illiegal immagrant and for some reason is trying to make a living off of this sort of thing.

I posted a non comlaint for this same company...except I am not Paper Trail and I contacted the owner to let her and her attorney know. I have been to the offices of Paper Trail this is woman is wonderful and has a passion for what she does!

Hi My name is Peter Conner, I know this guy. He goes online and does this to several internet companies! He will target a business and then post these types of comments. He will then call the company, point out the negative and demand money or be will continue to post other negative ads similar to this all over the internet.

THIS GUY IS A NUT CASE TRYING TO SCAM COMPANIES FOR MONEY...BEWARE!
