"ATTORNEY
A LA CARTE"
Tuesday, June 3
Limited-scope representation offers a creative method of reaching a large
pool of potential clients currently unserved or underserved by lawyers.
You can coach a self-represented litigant, assist with document preparation
and procedures, or even go to court for a single hearing or issue. Many
individuals have difficulty affording traditional full-service legal representation.
These people have property rights to protect and legal issues of significant
importance to them and are willing and able to pay for quality legal assistance.
Once limited to family law, limited-scope representation is now spreading
into general civil litigation. Done correctly, it is a win/win. Clients
receive quality legal assistance and can more effectively protect their
legal rights. Attorneys can expand their client base, creating both a
profit center and a pool of happy clients. Experience shows that the level
of client satisfaction in limited-scope is significantly higher than in
more traditional litigation models.
Come hear from a local attorney practicing limited scope representation,
and from three attorneys involved in the development of this practice
in Minnesota
