Beginning on December 1, 2013, individuals seeking a divorce in New London County have a form of legal representation from which to choose. The new concept, Limited Scope Representation, embodies for many people an affordable way to receive an attorney's assistance on specific parts of a divorce case.
Limited Scope Representation is a pilot program only occurring in the Norwich Superior Court, which hears family law cases in New London County. It gives you the option of retaining an attorney, such as Bruce Chamberlain, to handle discrete portions of your divorce, rather than the entire thing.
After consulting with Bruce, you may decide to handle most parts of your divorce on your own, but at the same time, you may wish to have his assistance with certain aspects. Bruce plans to offer a variety of limited services when the program begins, including:
- Drafting and reviewing documents to be filed with the court
- Aiding you in the collection of documents and other evidence
- Representing you in court at a specific hearing
- Negotiating settlements
- Legal research
Limited Scope Representation offers a way to control your legal costs while protecting yourself from the pitfalls of representing yourself. You are more likely to be satisfied with the outcome and to avoid costly mistakes if you have the advice of a skilled Connecticut lawyer along the way.
