TYPES OF REPRESENTATION

Tailored to fit your needs

  • This type of representation occurs when the attorney and the client enter into an agreement for legal representation throughout the duration of their legal matter.  All aspects of your legal matter, including communications, document preparation, court filing and communication with the court are handled by Mr. Streed and his NWLRC Staff.   

  • Attorney directed paralegal/LLLT services consist of the attorney providing legal advice to the client and direction to the paralegal/LLLT on matters concerning your case. Under the attorney's direction, the paralegal/LLLT drafts all necessary documents and forms required by the courts to handle the legal matter. Within this type of representation, the attorney offers flat fee court appearances on the client's behalf at affordable prices and consultations and legal advice at an hourly rate.

  • Legal document preparation services differ from attorney directed paralegal services in that the attorney is not involved in any aspect of your case. 

    Legal document preparation services cannot, by law, provide legal advice, interpret or define the law or provide the client with direction on how to bring their matter to conclusion.  Legal document preparation is provided to the client on a transactional or hourly basis based upon the type of matter and the needs of the client. This is sometimes an affordable alternative to traditional attorney-client representation.

Mr. Streed offers a free initial consultation in many of these matters and is available for future consultations at his hourly rate to further assist you throughout your legal matter. 

Whichever service is best suited to your particular situation and financial position, rest assured that your legal needs will be met with skillful advice, individualized attention, and professional courtesy.
