Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started? 
My name is Yrcia Mercado, am from Dominican Republic originally, My family and I came to E.E.U.U in April 8, 1998,I have lived in the State of Florida for the last twenty years and I moved to Knoxville Tennessee three years ago. I own two business locations, the base one is in Fort Lauderdale Florida, and the second one Knoxville Tennessee. I started back in 2005, after I realized how good I was filling out documents for family and friends, back them many of them had the language barrier they did not read or speak English and I was the only one in the family that was in college therefore, every time they needs some paperwork to be done it was completed by me. It was a challenge to be my own CEO, you are afraid if you not to going to be able to make ends meet specialty when you are a single parent, I was in college, two sides jobs three children and three times a week I used to work with an immigration attorney solo practitioner for over five years. Ten years ago I started my CEO journey, I have failed many times, I have gone into a lot of debts to keep my dream alive and being successful. Everything I have is for the grace of God, giving me all the strength to keep fighting for my dream and for family. Its important to understand that YM NONLAWYER SERVICES: is not a law firm. it’s a Document Preparation Service that offers assistance to people representing themselves (“pro se” ) by preparing the necessary legal documents in accordance with court rules.

We’ve been impressed with YM NON-LAWYER SERVICES, but for folks who might not be as familiar, what can you share with them about what you do and what sets you apart from others?
YM NONLAWYER SERVICES: is not a law firm. it’s a Document Preparation Service that offers assistance to people representing themselves (“pro se ” ) by preparing the necessary documents in accordance with court rules. Our comprehensive services also include preparing and filling your immigration documents professionally and notarizing documents as applicable.

Any legal document, from divorce paperwork to deeds, has detailed requirements to which those who file must adhere. If any of these types of documents are prepared incorrectly without the required attention to detail, it could lead to unintended results. Document preparation services are not meant to replace an attorney. Document preparation services, such as those offered by YMNLS, do not provide legal advice; however, we do ensure that your documents are accurately prepared.

Hiring an attorney, even for a small service, can be expensive. Some lawyers charge several hundred dollars an hour to complete forms. Attorneys also work on busy schedules, which means that you may not get your documents when you need them. Therefore, Because of the time and expense involved in hiring a lawyer, some decide to take the “do-it-yourself” approach to preparer the documents. YMNLS, bring the integrity and excellence you expect and deserve with all your document preparation solutions.

Can you share something surprising about yourself?
After my divorce I lost everything, I was emotionally drained, I was homeless, sleeping in my car, with my children, I didn’t want to ask my family for help, I worked hard for my goals and for my children, and today I am living the American dream.
