Who’s this for?
Your Personalized Lawyer is for self-reps managing their own case but who want specific assistance from an experienced family law lawyer. It’s for people who can benefit from a lawyer’s support, but can’t afford – or don’t want – to hire a full-retainer lawyer to take over their case. You use the time how you want. The lawyer will go over anything that you think will help your case.
You pay only for the help you want. You choose the amount of time and the type of help you want. And you stay in control of your case.
What’s Included
You get assistance from an experienced family law lawyer for the amount of time you specify. You choose what help you want. Your lawyer will be available by phone, email or Skype. You can ask questions about the law, strategize, discuss your goals, and get tips for preparing your documents and presentations. The time is yours to use as you feel best. This service includes sending documents to the lawyer for review, revision, or comment.
And you can purchase additional time with your lawyer as you need it. This way, you can have a lawyer familiar with your case at any stage of the proceedings.
