In traditional “bundled” legal services, a lawyer assumes full responsibility for representing the client until a case is closed. Because it`s often difficult to predict how much time and effort will be required, lawyers charge by the hour and ask for an advance in advance. “Unbundled” legal services or limited representation allow clients to hire a LegalWise attorney to provide certain services à la carte rather than engaging in full representation. Examples of unbundled services could include: drafting a legal document, reviewing a legal document, or mentoring people to represent themselves at a court hearing. Unbundled services give clients more control and more responsibility in managing their own legal affairs. Since lawyers may charge lower fixed fees for a particular service, unbundled services tend to be more cost-effective than traditional representation. Bottom Line: Clients who use unbundled legal services pay less, but have to do more of the work themselves.
