Limited Scope Representation in Pro Se Actions
What does Pro se mean?
Pro se is a Latin term that means acting in “propria persona”. In regard to a divorce action, it means at least one party is representing themselves in the lawsuit that will dissolve their marriage. A party proceeding without formal representation in Court is said to be appearing pro se. In a limited scope pro se representation Attorney Tim Riley provides analysis, advice, review, and will assist with document preparation. Attorney Riley does not enter a formal appearance with the Court or make appearances in Court unless the client elects to retain him as the Attorney of Record.
Can pro se parties consult with a lawyer?
While pro se litigants (the parties involved in the lawsuit) will not have an attorney in court with them, they certainly may consult with a lawyer during the divorce process. When pro se parties consult with a lawyer regarding their lawsuit or case but the lawyer is not representing them in Court nor is the attorney listed as the counsel of record, the term used to describe that relationship is "limited scope representation".
