Legal coaching can be defined as unbundled legal services, designed specifically for your family law matter.

Unbundled legal services offer clients an opportunity to choose only the services they need to represent themselves.

Legal coaching allows clients to work directly with a lawyer in the background, while representing themselves in Court or Mediation/Arbitration.

Legal coaching is set up on an individual basis with clients who choose to self-represent on their matters. The lawyer or “coach” assists the client with navigating the legal system, and provides tools and strategies to the client to effectively present his or her case.

Legal coaching gives you a better chance of achieving your desired outcome in your family law matter - compared to figuring it out alone.
