APEX Law Firm offers limited-scope legal services as an alternative to full representation. The biggest advantage to this is the savings. You can save hundreds or even thousands of dollars in legal fees by representing yourself in court, while paying only for the specific things with which you need the most help. Limited-scope services are generally done on a flat-fee basis, meaning that you will pay only one agreed-to amount for the specific service provided; no more, no less. The exception to this is negotiating a personal injury settlement. This would be done on a contingency basis, meaning an agreed-to percentage of the settlement amount. Depending on the complexity of the case and the desired service, most limited-scope services typically cost between $300 and $1,500 but may cost more or less depending on specific factors. For example, drafting a letter to an opposing party may cost less than $300, while representing a client in multiple court hearings for a specific issue may cost more than $1,500. If you hire APEX Law Firm for limited-scope services and discover that your case requires full-time legal representation, your flat fee will be credited towards any ongoing legal fees.Limited-Scope Services
Limited-scope services can provide you with the following:
Legal representation for specific events. If you can’t afford full representation for your entire case, but don’t feel confident enough to handle a specific court event, mediation, or negotiation, you can hire an attorney to represent you for individual court events or to negotiate the best settlement on your behalf. For example, a bail hearing in criminal matters, a civil restraining order hearing, an oral argument on a motion to dismiss or summary judgment, a divorce hearing, etc., or if you just need someone to negotiate the best settlement with an insurance company. The attorney will file a limited-scope appearance for the specific event you wish to be represented for and provide full legal services for that matter only or can contact an insurance company and negotiate a settlement for you in a personal injury matter. Upon completion of the representation, the attorney will file a certificate of completion with the court and will have no further obligation in the overall matter. This provides an efficient and economical way to handle court proceedings without having to pay for full-case representation.Best legal matters to use limited-scope services:
