An Attorney Only When You Need One – “Attorney Assisted Divorce”

For many of our clients, full-service legal representation is just not financially possible. Other times, clients feel they have their case under control and prefer to represent themselves but still want to consult with an attorney for help with legal pleadings, pretrial coaching or case strategy and advice.

That’s where unbundled attorney services come in. When attorneys offer unbundled services to their clients, they provide only those services that the client wants to pay for, leaving to the client those tasks that the client can do for himself or herself. You choose what the attorney is used for, and you decide what to handle on your own.

With an unbundled services attorney, you will find your legal fees to be significantly lower than with a full-service attorney. At the same time, you will have access to skilled legal assistance when you need it. Of course, you ultimately remain responsible for and in charge of your own case. This includes knowing what documents to file, prepare and serve, and complying with all statutory and court-ordered deadlines. Call us and we can discuss which option is right for you.

Types of Unbundled Services:

• Individual Project Services – project services are for clients who want to hire the attorney for a specific purpose, such as ghostwriting a legal pleading or responding to one, propounding a discovery request, preparing financial disclosure documents, performing legal research, writing a brief, drafting attorney correspondence to others (Lawyer Letters^TM), etc. We are typically able to quote a flat fee for each individual project.
• Pay-As-You-Go Services – for clients who need ongoing advice and assistance, including emails, phone calls, etc. The initial deposit towards these services is $1,500. We charge a low monthly retainer fee, and then bill you only for the work you instruct us to do.
• Limited Scope Attorney Court Appearances – for clients who need a one-time attorney court appearance to handle either one or all of the issues before the court on that particular date.
