Unbundled Legal Services
What is limited scope representation?
Limited-scope representation, also known as the “unbundling of legal services," is when a client and the attorney agree that the attorney will handle some parts the case and the client will handle others. This is different from more traditional attorney-client arrangements, where an attorney is hired to provide legal services on all aspects of a case, from start to finish.
A Limited scope arrangement could be beneficial for your case if you...
- Want to consult an attorney and get legal advice about your case
- Only need to hire an attorney to represent you on certain issues in your case, such as child support or custody, while you do the rest yourself
- Need to purchase attorney-prepared contracts and forms
- Want to hire an attorney to coach you and help prep you for mediation
- Plan to represent yourself at the court hearings but need to hire an attorney to help you prepare the evidence that you will present at trial
- Are seeking an attorney to help you with the more complicated parts of your case, such as discovery and legal research, while you take care of the less complicated tasks yourself
- Would rather file your own copyright or trademark application and just need get guidance on how to do it.
No matter which of these applies to you, when you cannot afford to pay for a lawyer to handle your entire case, limited-scope representation can provide you with a cost-effective solution for skilled legal assistance.
