Law Office of Linda C. Garrett

WHO I AM

I am a California licensed attorney with experience in family law, consumer law, distressed mortgages, Chapter 7 bankruptcy, guardianships, conservatorships, estate planning and other areas of law that affect today's modern family.

WHO I HELP

I assist all California-based individuals, throughout California (southern, central, northern) by providing limited scope and Unbundled Legal Services: Limited scope services consist of providing consultations and coaching sessions in any of the areas outlined above and listed (in more detail) on this website. Unbundled Legal Services include assisting the individual to prepare legal documents. (Note: if you live in San Francisco or Solano county, I am able to provide full-scope legal services in the areas of Family Law and Chapter 7 bankruptcy).

HOW I HELP

My law office is designed to reflect the 21st century, set up as a virtual online law office. This means I am able, from the comfort of our respective locations, to provide limited-scope, unbundled legal services via phone, internet (via a secure online portal), Skype, email and fax. If you are local to me, I can also make arrangements to meet with you in person.

MY FEES

Simple. Fixed, straight forward and custom-tailored to meet your legal and financial needs. For instance, an individual may only need an hour or two of my time or much more time--depending on their unique situation. See the Services Tab for more information.

WHY I ALSO PROVIDE LIMITED SCOPE & UNBUNDLED LEGAL SERVICES

In the last few years, the number of people needing legal assistance has significantly increased, while the number of people who can afford to hire a California family attorney has exponentially decreased. Further, with severe budget cuts to the California court system, the courts are heavily burdened and less able to provide the vital legal services they have provided in the past. As a result, approximately 75% of individuals go to court without legal representation and/or legal assistance--causing unjust legal results to the individual and judicial burden on the court system. My goal is to fill the missing gap--provide legal services to the individual that will help prepare them for the case, at a price they can afford, as well as to reduce the court's burden in having to review disorganized and incomplete files and listen to unprepared and overwhelmed self-represented parties.
