Limited Scope Services Available
Limited scope Family Law representation may be the right choice for you. Limited Scope is when you and a lawyer agree that will handle certain parts of your case, and you will be self-represented for the remaining.
Limited Scope differs from general or full-service arrangements, where you hire a lawyer to provide legal services on all aspects of a case.
Here are just a few examples of when limited-scope may work:
-
You can get an in-office consultation with a lawyer
-
You hire a lawyer to represent you on specific issues in your case only.
-
You hire a lawyer to prepare some forms and court documents for you, but you represent yourself at the hearings.
At the Law Office of James Chau, we offer pay-as-you-go, limited-scope service.
