With our experience as litigators, we provide litigation coaching to guide you through the process, ensuring that you can navigate the legal landscape with confidence and make informed decisions.
What’s Litigation Coaching for Small Claims Court?
Litigation coaching is an emerging form of unbundled legal services where a client represents themselves with the ongoing support, guidance and advice of a lawyer or, in some cases, a paralegal. With DIY content and templates and access to online legal advice, we help clients represent themselves effectively and confidently. While the client takes charge of organizing and managing the case, communicating with other parties, and making small claims court appearances, we work behind the scenes to advise and guide. From consultations to document reviews, we are dedicated to supporting self-represented litigants throughout the entire small claims court process. Unfortunately, we are unable to offer pro bono lawyers or contingency fee services.
