What is limited assistance representation in Massachusetts and how can I benefit from it? 12 September 2012Limited Assistance Representation Agreement • September 13th, 2012
Limited assistance representation (“LAR”) is a relatively new (and exciting) way clients and attorneys can structure representation agreements. Specifically, for clients LAR is an agreement to limit the representation to only part of a case, such as one hearing or court conference, instead of the more traditional representation agreement where an attorney represents the client for the entire court case. The goal of LAR is to allow a client to hire an attorney on a limited basis and save money by avoiding the cost of an attorney for an entire case. Also, an intended benefit is for clients to be represented for at least part of the case when they normally would not be represented at all due to cost. It is something to consider when money is tight for the right kind of case.
