Simplify Your WV Divorce or Custody Matter With One of Our Flat-Fees

Our Flat-fee family law packages are an easy and economical way for you to proceed with your family-law case in West Virginia, with the assistance of a licensed and experienced WV family law attorney. These flat-fee arrangements are meant to simplify the divorce and child-custody process for you, in the State of West Virginia. These packages are only valid for WV family-law cases. In order to obtain our flat-fee services, you must complete the contact form after selecting your package. Representation will not begin until after our law firm checks for any potential conflicts and confirms our availability to provide legal services in your case (within 24 hours/end of next business day). If we agree to provide legal services in your case, we will promptly contact you with any questions and if we have no questions, will send you a proposed retainer agreement, along with a link to submit your flat-fee payment for the family-law legal services that you have selected.

Flat-Fee Divorce & Child-Custody Actions

All of our flat-fee divorce and custody packages are for limited legal representation, whereby we assist you with the completion of necessary pleadings and documents in your legal proceeding, but do not formally appear as your counsel on the pleadings or in the formal proceedings. Under this type of limited-representation arrangement, we will not appear in Court, mediation, settlement conferences, or other legal proceedings in your action. We will also not interact with the other parties, counsel or the Court in the capacity as your counsel. Our representation is strictly limited to assisting you with the processing of pleadings and documents and facilitating your ability to handle your own divorce as a “self-represented” party, appearing in Court without counsel, but with the benefit of our assistance and consultations off of the record.

Flat-Fee Family-Law Mediation Services

All of our flat-fee family-law mediation packages are for mediation services only, whereby we assist both parties with the completion of necessary pleadings and documents in your legal proceeding, but do not formally appear as counsel on the pleadings or in the formal proceedings for either party. In acting as a mediator, we do not represent either party, and do not have any loyalty to either party over the other, regardless of who pays our fee. We are strictly neutral and if during the course of our mediation services, we express any opinions, these opinions are solely intended to express a range or potential or likely outcomes, in order to assist both parties to reach an agreed/mediated outcome to their dispute(s). We will not appear in Court or other legal proceedings in your action, under these flat-fee arrangements. We will not interact with the Court in the capacity as counsel for either party, but may communicate with the Court incidental to completing final documents for the Court to process and finalize your case. Our legal services as a mediator are strictly limited to assisting you with the processing of pleadings and documents and facilitating your reaching an agreement on all terms at issue in your family-law action. If one or both of the parties is represented by counsel, we do permit appearance of counsel at mediations.

Flat-Fee Limited Representation FAQs

What Does It Mean To Have Limited Representation?

If someone has limited representation, it means that they have an attorney helping to assist them in their case, but who is not appearing on their behalf. Essentially, the attorney is working in the background to assist the individual with their case, but it not handling their whole case. It is limited representation because there is a limit on what the attorney is doing and the scope of what the attorney is doing for the individual is narrow.

How Does Limited Representation Vary From Traditional Representation?

In a traditional representation arrangement, the attorney handles all aspects of the client’s case for them from start to finish. The attorney drafts documents, appears in court, and corresponds with other parties in the case on behalf of the client. In a limited representation arrangement, the attorney only does certain things for the individual. The scope of the attorney’s representation is specified in the agreement and does not extend past the scope that is specified. For instance, the attorney may only draft documents for the individual, only help the person respond to a particular letter or document in the case, or appear in court on a one-time basis. The scope of representation is determined between the individual and the attorney.
