LIMITED SCOPE REPRESENTATION
Hiring an attorney can be expensive.
Not hiring an attorney can be even more costly.
In Michigan family law cases, parties are not required to have an attorney. You may be worried about the cost of hiring an attorney. You may also be worried about handling you case without an attorney, especially because there are so many laws, court rules, forms, processes, and procedures that must be followed very closely to initiate and resolve a case. These are very valid concerns.
As a way to make legal services more affordable, Michigan allows for something called Limited Scope Representation. This allows a person to hire an attorney for only specific work on their case, instead of having an attorney represent them throughout the entire case.
Limited Scope representation may be something for you to consider. You will only pay for parts of the case that you agree the attorney will handle. You will be able to work on the less difficult parts of your case, while still having an attorney for the more challenging parts of your case.
