Low Cost/Flat Fee Unbundled Service Options

We offer unbundled legal services for document review, legal advice, agreement review, pleading review or representation limited to a hearing or mediation, when you have a situation which is uncontested or contested and you cannot afford to hire an attorney for the entire action. Unbundled services mean that we do not represent you in your case but assist you with certain portions of it, or we can represent you as to certain portions of it, i.e., at a specific hearing or at mediation. These services are provided in a flat fee rate or hourly fee with the minimum being an initial one hour consultation and thereafter the fee is prorated  We provide the following, but not limited to, unbundled services:

•  Consultation with an attorney regarding any legal matter in which we practice to help you prepare your case.  (Hourly fee.)

•  Reviewing your completed documents when you are filing, responding to a petition or any other form related to your case. This includes divorce, paternity, adoption, name change, or any other matter in which we practice.  (Hourly fee.)

•  Form preparation for divorce, paternity, adoption, name change, or any other matter in which we practice.  (Flat fee.)

•  Consultation regarding hearing or trial preparation. One of our attorneys will consult with you regarding an upcoming hearing or trial and give you advice on how to prepare for it and present your case, without representing you at the hearing.  (Hourly fee.)

•  Consultation for mediation. We can also help you prepare for mediation by explaining the process to you and give you some advice, including asking that a clause be included in the agreement giving you the ability to rescind the agreement within 10 days. After the mediation has been completed, we can review the agreement for you and advise you on it.  (Hourly fee.)

•  Providing representation in your uncontested divorce or paternity action for a flat fee. You will meet with an attorney to provide the agreed upon terms of your divorce or paternity action. You will be provided with all paperwork to complete to file your case. A Marital Settlement Agreement will be prepared pursuant to the agreed upon terms. You and your spouse will execute the Agreement. All paperwork and the Agreement will be filed with the Court. We will schedule a final hearing, prepare the Final Judgment and attend the final hearing with you.  (Flat fee.)

•  One of our attorneys can represent you in a limited appearance at a specific hearing or at mediation.  (Flat fee or hourly fee, depending on the circumstances.)

You can use our firm as much or as little as needed and also maintain the same attorney throughout the duration of your case. In essence, when you cannot afford to retain an attorney for your entire case, at least this "self-help" and "do it yourself" process will be done with the assistance of an attorney and law firm.
