Approach to Providing Unbundled Legal Services:
Once I have met with the client and assisted in alleviating any concerns of overwhelm, uncertainty and perhaps feelings of isolation, I then put the client in the driver's seat. I give the client the opportunity to select the type of assistance they would like based on their own resources and capabilities. Some clients have been to court numerous times and now are seeking only the coaching and a 'check my homework' approach. Other clients have demanding jobs, so want more assistance in negotiating on their behalf and preparing more of the documentation. I like to communicate often with my clients so we both have a clear understanding of what is happening next, who is responsible for what pieces of work and what each next step will cost.
