New Hampshire has adopted the limited representation model whereby an attorney can assist you with parts of a case or assist you in drafting documents or prepare documents for you without agreeing to actively represent you in all matters involved with any case. With limited representation available, you need only hire an attorney to do those things you cannot do yourself or to educate you with respect to legal matters.    

People are complicated so their legal issues can be complicated as well. In addition, seemingly simple factual issues can be further complicated or even controlled by jurisdictional and procedural requirements. Time deadlines can make an otherwise good case unsalvageable. And, just like in real life, perceptions and presentation may color or ultimately control how your claims are received by others or decided by a court. The best arguments in the world are all for naught if your opponent or the judge will not listen to them. For this reason, matters involving court appearances and litigation in general almost always require a personal interview, and perhaps several in-person, face-to-face consultations with an attorney so he or she can assess not only your case but you. Unless you have a truly unusual case, the judge already knows the law but it is your obligation to show the judge how the law applies to your case. And you must persuade the judge why he or she should order the other party to do what you want that party to do. This is known as the "burden of persuasion." Another general rule is that a party asking the court to do something must prove to the judge that what he or she wants is proper or lawful, and that he or she is entitled to receive it. This is called the "burden of proof."  An old legal adage is that although an individual may "know" many things merely from the experiences of life, a litigant "knows" only that which he can prove by the appropriate standard of proof.

For all of the above reasons, and too many more to delve into here, some things simply cannot be resolved by a remote consultation. But many can. Here's what we can do:

DO NOT INCLUDE PICTURES OR PROPRIETARY FORMATS WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL. Your attorney will briefly review the documents and determine the cost for a detailed review..

Your attorney will not attempt to draft significant changes or wholesale re-writing of documents until you have agreed to the additional charges and paid for same. If you elect to do so, your attorney will make such changes or re-write the document and will upload it to you at an email address you specify or provide same on your thumb drive.
