How can we help? Obtaining your best possible result is our top priority.

The emotional and financial stress from family law matters, including unbundled services, can be overwhelming. Let us handle the legal complexities while you focus on your family's future.

With Pacific Family Law Firm, you can expect exceptional representation.

1. Talk to Lawyers

In most firms, it is the staff that handles the bulk of your case. You end up dealing with paralegals, assistants, or clerks instead of the lawyer you signed up with. At Pacific Family Law and Divorce, assistants may handle the paperwork and occasional informational calls, but most of the time, you will be working with your actual trial attorney.

2. Streamlined Representation

Our office and family law attorneys have built the firm from the ground up with efficiency in mind. Paperless, custom-built data centers for instant access to all file information, and flexible communication by phone, email, and even secure instant messaging. We want you to be able to participate as part of the team in your case.

3. Honest Assessment of Case

Far too many family law "mills" are out to settle your case as fast as possible so they can move on to the next. Pacific Family Law Firm was founded by lawyers who are used to the courtroom and don't run from it. If getting you the best outcome for your family law matter means taking the case to trial, we will do it. If you are ready for a trial, we won't back down either.

Unbundled Services?

The best Oregon unbundled services lawyer for you is the lawyer that gets the outcome you want.

Unbundled legal services are a great alternative for some clients needing help during a case they are handling on their own.

When lawyers talk about "unbundled" legal services, they refer to a relationship where clients hire them to handle a single, specific task. These tasks might represent only a limited part of a case, motion, or other issues within the matter instead of managing the entire case.

What types of tasks does an Oregon unbundled lawyer handle?

There is no standardized type of "Oregon unbundled legal service" because attorneys handle the scope of these types of matters in a spectrum of ways, and clients have a wide variety of requirements. A client might hire an unbundled service lawyer to perform some tasks, including, but not limited to:

  • evaluating the client's case, and advising about strategy;
  • informing about legal responsibilities or rights;
  • informing about court rules and procedures;
  • advising about alternative dispute resolution options;
  • preparing specific documents, briefings, motions, or other legal pleadings;
  • reviewing documents;
  • conducting investigations;
  • referring specific issues to know experts;
  • performing appropriate legal research;
  • advising on settlement options or negotiations;
  • helping preparation for court appearances;
  • appearing with the client in court for a limited purpose; or
  • assisting with an appeal.

Unbundled Oregon legal services can provide an excellent option for clients who don’t need the expense or full level of service associated with full legal representation, but who still need legal help along the way.

Each unbundled services case has a set of unique facts, requiring careful evaluation by a skilled unbundled services attorney to determine what path is best for recovery on your case. Getting you the best possible outcome is our top priority. Call us for a free legal evaluation today.

When might I need Oregon Unbundled Services?

Unbundled services can be beneficial if you cannot afford full representation or prefer handling some tasks independently. Examples include drafting documents, consulting on strategy, negotiating settlements, or representing you in court for specific hearings.

What are Oregon Unbundled Services?

Oregon Unbundled Services, also known as limited scope representation, is a type of legal service where an attorney and client agree to limit the attorney's involvement in a case. This allows clients to handle specific parts of their family law or divorce cases on their own while receiving professional legal assistance for other aspects.

How much do Oregon Unbundled Services cost?

Costs vary depending on the scope of services needed and attorneys' rates but are typically lower than traditional full-service representation. You only pay for the specific tasks the attorney performs rather than a retainer covering all aspects of your case.

Are there any limitations to using Oregon Unbundled Services?

Certain cases, such as those with complex legal issues or situations involving high-conflict parties, may not be suitable for unbundling. Additionally, some attorneys may prefer full-service representation and not offer unbundled services.

Consider unbundling when you feel confident handling some aspects but need guidance on complex issues or procedures. Discuss your case with an attorney experienced in offering unbundled services to determine its suitability and set clear expectations.

Will my opposing party know I'm using unbundled services?

Yes, if your attorney provides limited scope representation during court proceedings or negotiations with opposing counsel, they must disclose their involvement under Oregon law; however, this should not impact your case negatively.

Can I switch from unbundling to full-service representation during my case?

Yes, as long as both you and your attorney agree upon changing the terms of engagement and adjust any fee arrangements accordingly; however, it's essential to discuss such possibilities upfront when retaining an attorney for limited scope work.

Do I need a lawyer for my Oregon uncontested divorce?
