What Is Limited Scope Legal Representation?

Limited scope representation allows a lawyer and client to agree that the lawyer will assist with only certain parts of a legal matter rather than the entire case. This approach is sometimes called unbundled legal services or discrete task representation. Many people choose limited scope representation when they are handling a case on their own but want professional legal guidance for specific steps along the way. Examples include reviewing legal documents, preparing court filings, drafting settlement agreements, or providing legal advice before a hearing.

Answers to common questions about limited scope legal services, document review, motion drafting, and other unbundled legal help across the United States.

What is a limited scope attorney?

A limited scope attorney, also known as an unbundled legal services lawyer, handles only certain parts of a legal matter instead of managing the entire case. This approach helps clients get professional legal assistance where they need it most.

What types of tasks can a limited scope attorney help with?

Limited scope attorneys can assist with document review, contract review, court motion drafting, legal consultations, court form preparation, divorce paperwork, child custody motions, small claims assistance, and other discrete legal tasks.
