Legal services can be expensive, leaving some clients unable to afford the legal help. Unbundled services are a popular option that helps clients pay for legal services a la carte at a lower overall cost. Unbundled legal services are also known as limited scope representation.

In the family law realm, its unbundled offerings include coaching self-represented litigants on filling out divorce forms and preparing child support worksheets.
By emphasizing this nontraditional approach, also known as limited-scope representation, The Law Shop has attracted inquiries from consumers across the state seeking affordable legal assistance.
This interest from clients far beyond its base just outside of Des Moines prompted the firm to start providing some virtual legal services in the years prior to the coronavirus pandemic, said firm co-founder and partner Andrea McGinn. Doing so helped smooth The Law Shop’s transition to all-virtual work amid COVID-19 and enabled it to continue on a positive trajectory.
