Limited Assistance Representation

You can also count on us if you need limited assistance representation. LARs are attorneys permitted to assist a self-represented litigant on a limited basis without undertaking a full representation of the client on all issues related to his/her pending case.
Collins Family Law Group, P.C. regularly assists litigants in the Probate and Family Court on a LAR basis. This often entails preparation of separation agreements for an uncontested divorce, preparation of motions or other legal documents, or appearance in court for one day or issue.
The cost of these limited services is very affordable and provides litigants who may not otherwise be able to afford the services of an attorney the ability to have experienced counsel guide them through difficult and often confusing legal matters.
