Most of our clients retain us to handle their matter from start to finish. In some cases, though, clients prefer to save money in their divorce case by representing themselves but still need advice or assistance from time to time. This approach, sometimes called unbundled or limited-scope representation, lets you stay in control of your case while bringing in an attorney for the parts where professional help matters most.
Pay Only for the Help You Need
Rather than hire an attorney to handle your entire matter, you may prefer to pay a lawyer to handle a particular task. That might include:
- Consulting with you about your divorce strategy
- Advising you on how to procedurally handle your family law matter
- Preparing or reviewing a document for your case
- Appearing at a particular hearing
- Coaching you on what to argue at a hearing
- Helping with a specific discovery procedure
- Representing you at trial or a pretrial conference
- Providing other targeted assistance as you represent yourself
A Budget-Friendly Option
If you will be handling your own divorce because you cannot afford to hire an attorney for the full case, consider unbundling our services into small, financially manageable segments and paying for just the help you need, without paying a large retainer. This can be an especially practical option when your case is relatively straightforward but you want confidence that you are not making a costly mistake on an important step.
