Limited Scope Family Law Representation: Affordable, Flexible Legal Help When You Need It Most

Family law matters like divorce, child custody, and support modification can be emotionally draining and legally complex—especially without the right legal guidance. In Pasadena, CA, hiring a full-service family lawyer isn’t always necessary or financially feasible. That’s why The Lewis Farmer Law Group offers Limited Scope Representation, also known as unbundled legal services, to give you expert support exactly where you need it.

What Is Limited Scope Representation?

Limited Scope Representation (LSR) allows you to hire a Pasadena family law attorney for specific tasks in your case instead of full end-to-end representation. You remain the primary advocate, while we step in for high-stakes or complex portions of your legal matter.

Who Benefits from LSR?

  • Individuals comfortable representing themselves for routine court appearances but needing expert preparation

  • Those on a budget seeking an affordable family lawyer in Pasadena, CA

  • Clients with mostly uncontested cases but some legal complexities

How Limited Scope Representation Works

  1. Customized Service Agreement: We define and agree in writing the precise tasks we’ll handle.

  2. Targeted Support: Services may include:

    • Reviewing or drafting legal documents (e.g., divorce petitions, parenting plans, settlement agreements)

    • Coaching and preparation for court hearings or mediation

    • Legal advice on strategy, rights, or discovery requests

    • Responding to motions, subpoenas, or financial disclosures

  3. Client Control: You decide which portions of the process you handle yourself—saving time and money.

Key Benefits for Pasadena Clients

  • Cost-Effective Legal Fees: Pay only for the help you need, avoiding large retainers.

  • Greater Involvement: Stay engaged in your case and make informed decisions.

  • Focused Expertise: Receive professional guidance on critical steps—no more or less.

  • Court-Approved Option: Many California family courts, including Pasadena’s, recognize unbundled services as valid representation.
