How does an attorney undertake limited scope representation?

An attorney undertakes limited scope representation by filing and serving a Notice of Limited Scope Representation. This formal document serves to inform the court and other parties involved that the attorney will only represent the client in specific parts of a case, rather than providing full representation throughout the entire legal matter. This approach allows clients to obtain legal assistance for particular issues while managing other aspects of their case independently or with additional help.

Filing the notice is essential as it ensures transparency regarding the attorney-client relationship and clarifies the extent of the services being provided. This method is increasingly popular as it offers both flexibility and affordability for clients who may not need or cannot afford comprehensive legal representation.
