Legal Coaching & Limited Scope Retainers
Services provided on a pay-as-you-go basis
Can’t afford a lawyer but still want help? Legal coaching and limited scope retainers are exactly what you need
Access quality legal support with legal coaching and limited scope retainers
Even if you can’t afford a lawyer to represent you in court, you still have options. Limited scope retainers are a great option for your budget. Traditional legal representation is full scope meaning the lawyer does everything for you from drafting documents to attending court on your behalf. But, with a limited scope retainer you can pick and choose what the lawyer does for you and that allows you to stay in control and stay on budget. With a limited scope retainer, you get the legal advice and assistance you need from a knowledgeable and experienced lawyer without breaking the bank. Want help filling out court forms? Want to have a lawyer on call to provide advice and assistance during your court appearances? Want help preparing evidence for court? Limited scope retainers may be for you.
Feel like court has the odds stacked against you? I’m here to help
Affordable and accessible services
Representing yourself can be risky when you aren’t familiar with the process or have a complex case. With traditional representation those fees keep adding up and it can be devastating. Some people aren’t able to afford a lawyer and are forced to go it alone or run out of money mid-case just when they needed the help the most. But, with limited scope retainers representing yourself doesn’t have to mean going it alone and it won’t break the bank.
Pay as you go so you don’t break the bank
With flat rates you never have to worry about hidden fees or surprise costs
