Take the Self-Assessment

This self-assessment questionnaire is designed to help you see if unbundling might be a good fit for you and your legal matter. There are 10 questions, and it takes less than five minutes. Your answers stay on your device — nothing is recorded or sent anywhere.

For each statement, choose how much it applies to you: 1 = not at all through 5 = a great deal.

Your capacity to take this on

I am prepared to take on aspects of my legal matter myself.
Why this matters

Unbundled legal services are different from full legal representation. With unbundling, you are responsible for any tasks you don’t specifically hire the lawyer to help with.

I have financial resources to hire a lawyer for parts of my legal matter.
Why this matters

With unbundling, the costs are lower than when a lawyer does everything for you. But unbundled services are fully paid services. The more unbundled services provided by the lawyer, the more they will cost.

I have time in my schedule to get tasks done.
Why this matters

With unbundling, you are responsible for tasks you don’t hire the lawyer to help with. Do you have the time to get these things done?

I can get things done when under stress.
Why this matters

With unbundling, you select the tasks you want to handle in your case. Make sure the tasks you choose are ones you’re comfortable handling under stress.

Why this matters

Unbundled legal services may include advice and opinions on how to handle your legal matter. To make the most of unbundling, you should be receptive to your lawyer’s ideas.

The documents in my legal matter are well organized.
Why this matters

The first step in unbundling your legal matter is to meet with a lawyer. Having everything organized beforehand will help you and your lawyer to come up with a plan.

Your strengths and weaknesses

I have strong research skills.
Why this matters

With unbundling, you decide which parts of your legal matter you want to take care of on your own. For example, you have the option of doing the legal research on your case.

I write well.
