À LA CARTE SERVICES
Not all divorces require or fit within the fully structured approach that is the hallmark of Collaborative Divorce, and not all divorces are capable of being Collaborative. And let’s face it, many spouses lack the means to pay for full representations even if they are committed to the concept of a collaborative divorce.
An Initial Consult with Brooks will help you determine the level of services to fit your specific situation and unique needs. Schedule an initial consultation today to find out how Baldwin Collaborative Law can help you with À la Carte Services.
WHAT ARE À LA CARTE SERVICES?
À la Carte Services, typically referred to as Limited Scope Representation or Unbundled Services, provides an alternative to traditional, full-service representation. Instead of handling every task in a case from beginning to end, with informed consent from the client, Brooks performs discrete and separate components of ordinary representation without taking full responsibility for the entire case. This enables client empowerment to make decisions and perform certain tasks themselves.
À la Carte Services are best suited to clients who are:
- Self-represented (also commonly referred to as “Pro se”) and wish to receive the limited advice and services they choose on a pay-as-they-go model resulting in more affordable fees overall.
- Unable to afford or don’t require full-service representation.
- Seeking to receive counsel, legal documents, instructions and access to filing, etc. resulting in greater efficiency and accuracy with their independent divorce/legal separation efforts.
