During the tough economic climate of the last couple of years, people\u2019s needs for legal services have increased tremendously. Unfortunately, their ability to pay for lawyers has drastically diminished. While those below the poverty level are able to qualify for free legal advice, middle class clients who are barely able to pay their everyday bills are finding themselves in a predicament where they have to completely drain their limited financial resources if they need to hire an attorney to represent them in a traditional litigation. Particularly in family law cases in New York, people usually pay a hefty advance retainer in order to start a case. While most clients don\u2019t feel confident enough to represent themselves in court, they don\u2019t have the financial resources to hire an attorney and pay tens of thousands of dollars right away.<\/p>\n
At the Law Firm and Mediation Practice of Alla Roytberg, P.C., experienced attorneys\u00a0are willing to offer reasonably priced legal advice. They meet with clients for concrete consultations and help them prepare documents through the \u201cunbundled or limited scope services\u201d model. In this model the lawyer is not really retained to represent the client from start to finish, but is retained for a specific limited task: \u00a0to counsel a client who is representing himself or herself during a court case, to prepare a specific document, or to respond to a specific letter.<\/p>\n
Our Self Representation Assistance Services<\/strong><\/p>\n Rather than being retained to handle the entire \u201cbundle\u201d of a case, the Law Firm and Mediation Practice of Alla Roytberg, P.C.\u00a0offers clients an opportunity to “unbundle” the service and only seek assistance for\u00a0a certain portion of it. The client saves a lot of money by being able to get the benefit of the lawyer\u2019s advice and then do his or her own work, instead of just sitting back and having the lawyer handle all of it.\u00a0While this approach is not a panacea for all types of cases, it does\u00a0provide some\u00a0people with an effective method of obtaining competent legal help.<\/p>\n\n
