Credit Law Consumer Law Debt Settlement Bankruptcy

 

   In addition to full attorney representation, we also assist clients in representing themselves in court. Through these services we can assist those clients who cannot afford for us to represent them "full time". When providing these "coaching" services, we do not contact the other side or make court appearances. Instead, we teach our clients to do these things, stepping in only to draft important documents for our clients' use when asked. We charge discounted rates for our time in these cases, but more importantly we are not required to spend as much time on each file, which means lower legal bills for our clients.

      Here is an example of how Do it Yourself (DIY) legal services might work for a small business:

      Our favorite client, "Bob" had a dispute with a vendor over the purchase of a $10,000 grill for his restaurant, "Bob's Belly Busting Barbecue Bonanza" (we have previously advised him to change the name, but the man will not listen to reason). The grill was badly damaged upon delivery. His attempts to resolve the matter informally were rebuffed, so he decided to sue. 

     We drafted his Summons and Complaint, and provided him with written and telephonic instructions regarding how to file it with the court and have it served it on the other side. Thereafter, we continued to guide him and to create certain required documents for his signature in order to assist him in moving his case forward. After three months and payment of only $700 in legal fees, Bob settled his case and received $8,000 from the vendor.*

     We have also had success in assisting clients in defending themselves when they are sued by others, such as debt collectors.

      Keep in mind that, even with an attorney's assistance, representing yourself in a lawsuit involves time and commitment. Bob's case essentially became his new hobby during those three months. If you believe that you have a case suitable for unbundled legal services, give us a call or email us.
