unbundled legal services

Read a random definition: middle-level scrutiny

A quick definition of unbundled legal services:

Unbundled legal services are when a lawyer helps you with only part of your legal problem, instead of handling everything from start to finish. This is also called limited scope representation. For example, a lawyer might help you fill out court forms or give you advice on a specific legal issue, but you would handle the rest of the case on your own. It's like getting help with just one piece of a puzzle instead of the whole thing.

A more thorough explanation:

Unbundled legal services refer to a type of legal representation where a lawyer provides assistance to a client for only a specific part of their legal matter, rather than representing them for the entire case. This is also known as limited scope representation.

For example, a client may hire a lawyer to help them draft a legal document, such as a contract or a will, but not to represent them in court. Alternatively, a client may hire a lawyer to represent them in court for a specific hearing or trial, but not for the entire case.

Unbundled legal services can be a more affordable option for clients who cannot afford full representation, and can also give clients more control over their legal matter. However, it is important for clients to understand the limitations of unbundled services and to communicate clearly with their lawyer about their expectations and needs.

"But I also want to end on this note. Don't be afraid of being wrong. And what I mean by that is, being wrong about a school. I applied to Princeton coming out of high school and didn't get in. I ended up going to Vanderbilt. I could never see myself having gone anywhere but Vanderbilt." -Spivey
