This ad comes frighteningly close to UPL. A "certified paralegal" can draft documents, but the fact that s/he is not a lawyer means they can't sign them, and they aren't responsible for what they are drafting. Lawyers are supposed to be responsible for them by virtue of their signature (and their supervisory abilities).
It's possible this guy actually even knows what he's doing, but that doesn't mean that what he's doing isn't (quite probably) illegal. If he marketed to lawyers I'd be a little less critical, but this is a craigslist ad quite plainly targeted to potential clients as well.
