LIMITED REPRESENTATION

Limited Representation

(Hiring an attorney for only one aspect of the case)

Limited Representation
Limited Representation means that an attorney represents a client for only a portion of the case. If a client, for example, wants legal representation for only one hearing or mediation, it is possible to hire an attorney on just that issue, rather than the whole case. The cost to the client is less because the attorney is not responsible for the entire matter. The limited nature of the representation, however, means that the attorney will not continue to represent you after the event or task is complete.Entering into a limited representation agreement with an attorney may be appropriate for the following types of things:* Assisting with preparation of Pleadings (Petitions, Answers and Counter Petitions)
* Assisting with preparation of Motions, Financial Affidavits and Discovery (Mandatory Disclosure, Interrogatories, Requests to Produce)
* Representation at Temporary Relief Hearings, Case Management Conferences, Mediations or other court proceedings
* Assistance in understanding the Florida Child Support Guidelines, Spousal Support, or even preparation of a Parenting PlanAn advantage of limited representation is that fees and costs are reduced because the lawyer is hired to focus on only one or two aspects of the case. There are disadvantages, too, that should be considered. Some cases are appropriate for limited representation and some are not. We are happy to discuss whether a limited representation agreement is right for your case.
