Legal Coaching & Unbundled Services
Helping You Handle Legal Matters Your Way
Our Legal Coaching / Unbundled Services
At Mather & Company, we know that hiring a lawyer for full representation isn’t always necessary—or affordable. Sometimes, you just need a little help understanding the legal process, preparing documents, or getting advice before going to court. That’s where legal coaching and unbundled legal services come in.
These services are perfect for people who want to be in control of their own legal matters but still want the guidance and support of an experienced lawyer. We’re here to help you handle things on your own—but not alone.
Whether you’re dealing with separation, divorce, parenting plans, or other family law issues, Mather & Company offers flexible, cost-effective options that work for your situation, budget, and goals.
What Are Unbundled Legal Services?
Unbundled legal services (also called “limited scope representation”) means you hire a lawyer to help with only part of your case—not the whole thing. You stay in charge of your file, but you can get legal help where and when you need it—without paying for services you don’t use.
Some examples of unbundled services include:
- Reviewing legal documents before you sign or submit them
- Drafting letters, agreements, or affidavits
- Giving advice before a court hearing
- Preparing you for mediation
- Helping with child support or custody calculations
- Giving a second opinion on your case
You pick what you need help with—and we support you just for that part. It’s a great way to save money and still feel confident about what you’re doing. Plus, you always know upfront what you’re paying for, so there are no surprises down the line.
What Is Legal Coaching?
Legal coaching is when we work with you one-on-one to give you the tools and knowledge you need to represent yourself. Think of it like having a lawyer in your corner, coaching you through the process step by step—without the high cost of full representation.
We can help you:
- Understand court rules and forms
- Plan your case strategy
- Get organized before a hearing or mediation
- Build confidence speaking for yourself
- Learn how to negotiate fairly and clearly
- Understand what the law says about your rights
With legal coaching, you stay in control, but you don’t have to figure it all out on your own. And because you choose how much help you want, it’s much more budget-friendly than traditional legal services.
Who Is It For?
Unbundled legal services and legal coaching are ideal for:
- People who want to represent themselves in court (self-represented litigants)
- Clients who need help with just one part of a bigger case
- Parents working out parenting plans or child support
- Individuals going through a separation or divorce on a budget
- People who need help understanding legal documents or court orders
- Anyone who wants clear advice without full-time representation
If you’re organized, comfortable handling your own paperwork, and want to save on legal fees, this might be the perfect option for you. Many clients love that they know exactly what they’re paying for—no billable hours adding up in the background.
Why Choose Legal Coaching or Unbundled Services?
Legal matters can be stressful, especially when you’re trying to go it alone. With our support, you’ll be better prepared, more confident, and more likely to get the outcome you’re hoping for.
Affordable
Because you’re only paying for the time and services you actually use, these options can be far more affordable than full legal representation. You control the costs, and there are no surprise fees. Pricing is discussed up front, so you’ll always know what to expect.
Flexible
You choose when you need help. Some people only need one coaching session; others check in regularly while handling their case. It’s all up to you—and your budget.
Empowering
We believe in helping people help themselves. Legal coaching gives you the tools and confidence to move forward, even if your situation feels overwhelming.
Honest and Clear
We give straightforward legal advice in plain language. No jargon, no fluff. You’ll always know what’s happening and what your options are—including what things cost.
Examples of Legal Coaching & Unbundled Services We Provide
Document Review
Have a separation agreement, court form, or parenting plan? We can review it to make sure it’s legally sound, fair, and clearly written. We’ll walk you through what everything means so there are no surprises—and you only pay for what you need help with.
Document Preparation
Need help writing a letter, affidavit, or court application? We’ll help draft it or give you a strong template to use. Clear, professional documents can make a big difference in how your case goes—and this one-time help is often much more cost-effective than hiring a full-time lawyer.
Court Coaching
Going to court but don’t have a lawyer? We’ll help you understand what to expect, what to say, how to prepare your documents, and how to stay calm and focused. A single session can save hours of stress—and hundreds in legal fees.
Parenting Plans and Child Support Help
Working out a plan with your co-parent? Not sure how child support is calculated? We’ll help you understand the legal basics and make sure your plan is fair, realistic, and follows the rules—without draining your bank account.
Mediation Preparation
Heading into mediation? We’ll coach you on how to present your side, stay respectful, and negotiate clearly. You’ll feel prepared and empowered—whether you’re meeting in person or virtually.
