Self-Help

We at The Palmé Law Firm, P.A., understand that legal representation can be expensive and not everyone has the funds to retain an attorney for what could be a long legal battle. That’s why we also offer assistance for what are called unbundled or self-help legal services.

If you are comfortable with trying to present your own case in front of a judge, but aren’t sure how to get started, we’re happy to help you. The rules for filing complaints and motions in Wake County are complex and detailed. If you make a mistake, or forget to include critical information, your complaint could be dismissed or your motion denied before you ever get to present your case and you’ll have to start all over again. Don’t let this happen to you.

Attorney Steve Palmé and The Palmé Law Firm, P.A., can help you with your case by providing limited legal services to guide you through the complicated process at a minimum cost to you. Our unbundled services include drafting of complaints and motions, help with trial preparation, researching specific legal issues, or simply providing legal advice on a one-time basis. Our fees are based on the services you require:

Drafting Initial Complaint	$300
Each additional issue		$100
General Motions			$200
Contempt Motion			$300
Document Review			$500 (includes consultation)
Legal Research			$200/hour (min charge: $200)
Trial Preparation		$200/hour (min charge: $200)
