Unbundled legal services—or limited scope representation—is allowed in Washington. It can be a great mechanism to bridge the access to justice gap and to attract clients. Yet many attorneys are not offering this type of representation to their clients. Why?
This program will examine—and evaluate—the reasons attorneys hesitate. Starting with a review of the court rules that allow limited scope representation, we will explore what works and doesn’t work in terms of limited scope representation, including advancements in technology and concerns about malpractice. Join us and learn how offering unbundled legal services can be an effective way of reaching potential clients who are reluctant to seek help from an attorney because of fears about the costs.
