Limited Representation by an Attorney

About limited representation 

You can hire an attorney to advise you, or to complete only some parts of your case, based on what you can afford to pay. Hiring an attorney to provide limited help while you represent yourself helps ensure your rights are protected and that you know what to do at different stages of your case.
