Limited Scope Representation

In the past, legal consumers have had very few options. They either had to hire an attorney to handle all the aspects of their case or had to handle their case alone. Limited scope representation allows an attorney to represent you only when necessary.

Sometimes you may need a family law attorney to handle routine family law matters, and sometimes you need more assistance or advice. Limited scope representation gives you a cost-effective option. The Law & Mediation Office of Patricia Clark, PC, is available to help you with your family law matters on a limited scope basis according to your needs and wants. You retain responsibility and control for the decisions regarding your case.

Whether you want an attorney to file or review court documents or you want legal advice, limited scope representation allows you to choose the assistance you need. Patricia can help in handling any piece of the legal process you choose. Having legal help on specific services can keep your fees low.
