FAQ

What is Limited Scope Representation?

Limited scope representation is a way that an attorney can help you with part of your case while you do the rest of your case. For example:

You can consult with an attorney to prepare or review your paperwork, but attend the Court appearances yourself.
You can represent yourself through the whole case and just consult with an attorney who can coach you on the law, procedures and strategy.
You can do your own investigation of the facts and ask the attorney to assist you in putting the information in a format which is useful to the Court.
You can ask the attorney to be on “standby” while you attend a settlement conference or a mediation session yourself.
You can negotiate a settlement on your own but consult with the attorney to make sure the agreement is in your best interests.
