Limited Scope Services (Unbundling)

Legal help doesn’t always have to mean full representation from start to finish. At Sethi Legal Services, we offer limited-scope representation — also known as unbundled legal services — to provide clients with flexible, affordable legal support tailored to their specific needs.

This option is ideal for individuals who want professional guidance for certain parts of their case, while handling the rest on their own.

What Is Limited Scope Representation?

Limited scope representation means we agree to help you with specific tasks only, rather than taking over your entire matter.

You stay in control of your case, and we step in where legal knowledge and strategy matter most.

This approach can make legal services more accessible and cost-effective, especially for straightforward or early-stage matters.

Examples of Limited Services We May Provide

Depending on your situation, limited representation may include:

​​

Legal Advice & Strategy
 

​

​

​​​​

​

Document Preparation

 

 

 

​


Court or Tribunal Coaching

 

 

 

 


One-Time or Single Appearance Representation

  • Reviewing your case and explaining your options

  • Helping you understand risks, strengths, and possible outcomes

  • Preparing you for court or tribunal appearances

  • Drafting or reviewing court forms

  • Assisting with affidavits, motions, or written submissions

  • Reviewing contracts or legal documents before you sign

  • Explaining what to expect at your appearance

  • Helping you prepare what to say to a prosecutor, adjudicator, or judge

  • Guiding you through procedures and timelines

  • Attending court for a specific date only (such as an adjournment or early resolution meeting)

  • Speaking to the prosecutor or opposing party on your behalf for a limited purpose

How Limited Representation Is Different

With full representation, we handle your matter from start to finish.

With limited scope services:


✔ You handle parts of your case yourself
✔ We assist only with the tasks we both agree to in writing
✔ Our role ends once the agreed services are completed

Everything we do for you will be clearly outlined in a written limited retainer agreement, so there is no confusion about responsibilities.

Your Responsibilities

Limited scope services work best when clients are organized and actively involved. You may be responsible for:
 

  • Filing documents with the court or tribunal

  • Keeping track of deadlines

  • Communicating with the court or opposing party (unless we agree otherwise)

  • Attending court on your own unless we are specifically retained to appear


We will explain your role clearly so you feel confident handling your part.

Is Limited Representation Right for You?

This option may be a good fit if:
 

  • You are comfortable speaking for yourself in court with guidance

  • Your matter is straightforward or at an early stage

  • You want to reduce legal costs

  • You only need help with certain steps of the process

 

If your case is complex, high-risk, or going to trial, full representation may be more appropriate — and we will discuss that honestly with you.

Clarity, Transparency, and Support

Even when services are limited, our commitment to professionalism, preparation, and client care remains the same. You will receive clear advice, practical guidance, and straightforward communication at every step of the services we provide.

If you’re unsure whether limited scope representation is right for your situation, contact us to discuss your matter, and we can help you decide on the best approach.
