This letter explains the scope of my/our representation of you, the firm’s billing procedures, what you can expect from me (and the firm), and what we expect of you.\nMy/our representation in this matter is limited to representing you only, and does not extend to anyone else. We performed a conflict check which shows we have no conflict in representing you. If this changes, we will tell you as soon as possible.\nScope of Representation: We have agreed to limit the scope of my/our representation of you. This means that I/we will only handle specific and limited parts of your legal problem. I/We have agreed to provide the following limited services for you:\n[ ] Services over a specific date/time period or until a milestone is met: ________________________________________________________________________________\nExamples: date, until judgment and submission of order, etc.\n[ ] Services related to a specific purpose(s) or activity(ies): ________________________________________________________________________________\nExamples: Mediation, arbitration, discovery, deposition of party/ies, trial, scheduling conference, Motion for Summary Disposition, etc.\n[ ] Services related to a specific subject matter(s): ________________________________________________________________________________\nExamples: Child Support, QDRO, property settlement, contractual dispute, TRO, etc.\n[ ] Representation in the hearing scheduled for _____________ [ ] and in any continuance of that proceeding.\nExamples: trial (date), Motion for Summary Deposition (date), etc.\n[ ] See attached Checklist showing which specific services I/we will be doing for you.\nI will perform these services in a timely, professional manner. We may communicate with you by [ ] regular mail, [ ] text, and/or [ ] email. There are some security risks to communicating by email or text.  If you would prefer that we not do so, please tell me as soon as possible.\nYou understand and agree that the services described above are limited in nature – I/we am/are not representing you in every part of your legal problem.  You also understand and agree that:\nI will not give more help or do more work than what is described above.\nI am not promising any particular outcome in your case.\nBecause the services I am providing are limited, I investigated only the facts related to the services listed above.\nChanges to this Agreement: You and I may decide to change the scope of my/our representation of you. If you want me/us to take on additional work, we will agree together what that extra work will be, and we will update this agreement and both sign the new version.\nCommunication: Usually, if you have an attorney representing you, the attorney for the other side isn’t allowed to talk to you. However, when you have a limited scope attorney there are some things the other attorney can talk to you about directly. You and I may need to decide, and put in writing, who will talk to the other attorney about what topics.\nIf I/we file an appearance in court, the opposing party or attorney will send both you and me/us copies of everything they file with the court and any letters or emails discussing your case.\nEnd of Representation: Our representation of you can end in one of three ways:\nI/we finish the work we agreed to do for you. When we are finished, we will send you a letter letting you know the work is done. If we appeared in court, we will file a Notice of Withdrawal of Limited Scope Appearance. If you don’t think we have done everything that we agreed to, please let me know.
