TIM MURPHY LAW, LLC

Limited Scope Representation & Unbundled Legal Services

Smart Legal Support. On Your Terms.

Navigating legal issues doesn’t always require full representation. At Tim Murphy Law LLC, we offer limited scope representation and unbundled legal services—giving you access to professional legal help without the cost or commitment of traditional full-service models.

Whether you're filing for divorce, clearing your record, or starting a business, we provide the documents, guidance, and strategy you need to move forward in your case—without paying for expensive court appearances or getting hit with hidden fees.

What Is Limited Scope Representation?

Limited scope representation (also known as “unbundled legal services”) means you hire an attorney to help with specific parts of your legal matter—rather than the entire case. In Illinois, Supreme Court Rule 137(e) allows attorneys to prepare pleadings, motions, and other documents for self-represented clients without filing an appearance.

You stay in control. We handle the legal heavy lifting.

Benefits of Limited Scope Services

- Affordable: Pay only for the help you need—no retainers or hourly surprises 

- Flexible: Choose from à la carte services or bundled packages 

- Empowering: File and represent yourself with confidence 

- Professional: All documents are drafted by an experienced attorney with deep substantive and procedural expertise
