Limited Scope
Limited-scope representation is when you and a lawyer agree that the lawyer will handle some parts of your case and you will handle others. This is different from more traditional arrangements between lawyers and clients where a lawyer is hired to provide legal services on all aspects of a case, from start to finish. Limited-scope representation is sometimes called “unbundling”.
This is a great way to keep costs down, and get the most value for your money. Doing the simpler aspects of your case yourself, and relying on the lawyer in limited scope to assist only where you need it.
Not all legal issues require full service representation. With limited scope engagements you choose what aspects of your case you want to complete on your own, and what specific tasks you wish to employ an attorney to assist you with. This could be something as common as drafting a demand letter or preparing your complaint to be filed in an action where you will be representing yourself. You may not want to spend the money for a full service representation because the amount of money in controversy does not warrant the expense, but you still want to be sure that you file the correct documents with the court.
