Unbundled &
Limited Scope Services

Not every legal problem requires a full-time attorney. If you're handling a matter yourself but need professional eyes on a specific document or a one-time strategy session, we offer "unbundled" legal services. You pay a flat fee for a specific task—without the cost of a full retainer.

Is This Right For You?

Unbundled vs. Full Representation

Choose the approach that fits your situation and budget.

Unbundled Services Work Well When

You Want to Handle It Yourself

  • You're comfortable representing yourself in court
  • Your matter is relatively straightforward
  • You need help with one specific task or document
  • Budget is a primary concern
  • You want a second opinion before proceeding
  • You've already started and need targeted help
  • The stakes are manageable if things go wrong
Full Representation Is Better When

The Stakes Are High

  • Complex litigation with significant money at stake
  • Custody disputes or family law matters
  • Criminal charges with serious consequences
  • The other side has an attorney
  • Multiple hearings or ongoing proceedings
  • You're uncomfortable in legal settings
  • Mistakes could have irreversible consequences
