Retainer

Rita accepts private retainers as well as Legal Aid certificates for family law and child protection issues.

You could also retain Rita on a limited scope retainer, which means that you will continue to represent yourself in court and Rita will take certain steps on your behalf. The services that Rita will perform could include providing you with advice whenever you require, drafting documents to prepare for court, doing research, initiating, reviewing or responding to correspondence, and even appearing in court on your behalf for a specified appearance like a motion or conference. If you do opt to retain Rita on a limited scope retainer, you and Rita will have to be clear about what services Rita will provide to you and which part of your proceeding you will handle yourself.
