Legal Consulting & Unbundled Legal Services: Limited Scope or “unbundled legal services” allows clients to hire an attorney only for limited and specific tasks as opposed to handling all aspects of a client’s case.  The services can range anywhere from consulting, to drafting a single document, to handling multiple aspects of a client’s case.  This practice allows clients to have maximum control over their case and the associated costs.  Client’s are able to benefit by obtaining much-needed legal expertise at a more affordable price as the overall cost is lower than it would be for full representation.  This practice also allows attorneys to help more individuals by making legal services more obtainable and cost-effective by providing an option for those individuals who would not otherwise be able to afford to hire an attorney for full representation in their case.  In unbundled arrangements the client handles some matters as a self-represented or “pro se” litigant. For example, in a divorce case, a client may only want to hire the attorney to draft the relevant documents or provide legal advice related to certain aspects of the case while the client is responsible for all other aspects of the case.  Depending on the legal services needed, KMP Law provides unbundled legal services on a flat fee basis or hourly rate.
