Our firm’s experienced Ukiah divorce, child custody, visitation, and support lawyer, Lindsay Torgerson, can help you with all of your family law needs.
During your initial consultation of up to one hour in our Ukiah family law office (or by phone or video conference), our Mendocino County family law lawyer is happy to discuss your matter with you.
We will review “unbundled” legal service options which may be an option without the need to hire us as your “attorney of record.” We provide self-represented family law services to residents of Fort Bragg, Laytonville, Willits, Boonville, Ukiah, and Redwood Valley (as well as other areas) with many flexible options such as:
- Legal Consulting – Coaching / Unbundled Services (with or without Document Preparation): Our Ukiah family law attorney provides legal advice, guidance, answers your questions and addresses concerns, reviews documents, prepares you for hearings, and analyzes settlement options but you remain self-represented. Our firm can prepare legal documents and correspondence for you at your option.
- Limited Scope Representation: Our Mendocino County family law attorney represents you in a limited manner while you handle the rest of your case.
- Family Law – Divorce Mediation: Our neutral Ukiah family law attorney-mediator assists you and your spouse/partner or other parent in reaching agreements.
Legal Consulting: Ukiah and Mendocino County Area Residents May Choose It Because…
Many people going through divorce in Mendocino County use our self-represented/coaching service options when they want to avoid appearing litigious or aggressive. This is often an unintended consequence when lawyers get involved in your sensitive family law matter.
Our Ukiah family law attorney can help you by giving you continuing legal advice and guidance as necessary while staying in the background at all times. Our office can draft complicated legal documents and correspondence for you.
Or, you can draft your own documents and correspondence and we will review them for you. In these situations, our lawyers are not your “attorneys of record.” You remain “self-represented” (or “pro-per”). We do not go to court on your behalf, sign documents for you, or communicate for you.
In a Limited Scope Representation, our lawyer is your “attorney of record” in a limited capacity to be specified by you. Our family law lawyer will go to court and communicate for you but only for the portion of your matter specified by you. You stay in control of all other aspects of your case. This is most often used when a self-represented party only wants a lawyer to present their case in court for them on a one-time only basis.
As an alternative, you might want to use our family law mediation services to help you and your spouse/partner or other parent to reach agreements together.
