How Limited Representation Works
Limited-scope legal services focus on specific tasks rather than full case representation. This type of representation is permitted under Minnesota Rules of Professional Conduct when the client agrees to a defined scope of services.
Examples of limited-scope services include:
drafting court documents
preparing for hearings
reviewing filings
answering procedural questions
Unless specifically agreed in writing, services do not include:
court appearances
ongoing case management
communication with opposing parties or opposing counsel
Representation begins only after a written agreement describing the scope of services is signed.
Services are currently available only for Minnesota legal matters.
