The Law Office Of A Stephen Rocha, Esq

We understand that the law is complex and unfamiliar to those outside of the legal profession. Our goal is to place the client first and provide no nonsense quality legal representation at a reasonable price. While we gear the conduct of legal matters toward early resolution and settlement, when settlement is not an option, we are ready to aggressively protect the interests of clients and their children from the outset.

Divorce and paternity cases involve the filing of numerous documents with the court. These documents can be complicated and difficult to understand to those unfamiliar with the court process. You may not be able to know what papers are required to be filed with the court and what to write on them to ensure that your rights are protected and you get what you are looking for in your court case.

The practice of unbundling legal services, also known as limited scope representation, falls into three general categories: consultation, such as giving advice and direction; document preparation, sometimes referred to as ghostwriting; and limited representation in court.

When lawyers offer "unbundled legal services" to their clients they offer only those services that the client wants to pay for, leaving to the client those tasks that the client can do for himself or herself.

When a person goes to court to have a matter decided, the decision of that court, often referred to as the trial court, is reviewable by a higher court known as either the appellate court or the supreme court. The appellate process, is a complex and challenging area of law, and winning an appeal is usually a difficult task.
