Press Release Body: Sacramento, CA - The Alliance of Legal Document Assistant

of new association leaders at its annual member meeting in Santa Ana, California on

Suzanne Ervine, Vice President/Treasurer; and Andrew Voller, Secretary.

ALDAP President Kathleen Mountjoy co-founded the state-wide association in 2007, and
previously served as Vice President and Director of Education. Mountjoy owns and
operates Catalyst Legal (www.catlegal.com) with offices in Lincoln and San Diego.
Mountjoy is retired from the law firm of McDonough Holland & Allen (Sacramento), and
currently works as a "dual" professional, actively working both as a paralegal and

previously served on ALDAP's Board of Directors as Treasurer and Membership
Director. Ervine operates two legal document businesses, Red Sky Legal
(www.redskylegal.com) and Construction Commando (www.constructioncommando.com), and
works as a freelance paralegal. 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

"Through the Board of Directors, its subcommittees and the association's strategic
plan, ALDAP is addressing the most critical issues facing the access to justice
crisis and the availability of non-attorney, self-help legal resources," said
Mountjoy. "The Board of Directors is dedicated to furthering ALDAP's commitment to
professional integrity and consumer protection for all self-represented litigants."
