Limited scope work must be agreed on with clarity about tasks the lawyer will and will not do. The agreement should specify communication methods, deadlines, and how additional work will be authorized and billed. Ethical rules require the lawyer to ensure the scope is reasonable under the circumstances. If your needs change, you and the lawyer can amend the scope or move to full representation. Clear documentation protects both client and attorney. Colorado’s Rules of Professional Conduct govern the scope and client-lawyer allocation of authority for limited services.If you’re interested in exploring this option, contact us to discuss your situation and find the best solution for your legal needs.
