The Iowa Supreme Court recently amended rules allowing attorneys to provide "unbundled" legal services to assist pro se litigants in filing and defending cases. This is particularly important in the family law and divorce setting because it allows individuals with limited financial resources to still obtain legal assistance in handling portions of the case whether it be drafting a decree or appearing at a contempt hearing.
While this concept is new to Iowa attorneys, it has been implemented by many other states for a number of years.
Please contact me if for more information about unbundled legal services that Sullivan & Ward, P.C. can provide.
