Affordable Legal Help with Responding to Divorce

Hiring a lawyer to help with your divorce doesn't have to be expensive. We offer an affordable, flat rate package to help with your divorce response at a price that fits your budget.

Work with a Lawyer, Starting at $378*

We serve Oregonians who make up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level ($103,000 for a family of four) and who meet other qualifications. If you qualify, you'll get expert help filing your Response for a fraction of the cost normally associated with hiring an attorney. 

Our services are offered on a sliding-scale basis: the amount you pay will depend on your income level. The Dissolution Response Legal Service Package starts at $378, with the final rate set based on your income level.* This does not include court filing fees; we can help you determine if you qualify to have court fees waived.

With the Dissolution Response Unbundled Legal Service Package, you receive the following legal services:

45-Minute Consultation

Once you're qualified, you'll meet with one of our attorneys to go over your needs and develop an action plan. This can be in-person or via online video chat.

Drafting Your Legal Response

Then we'll draft the Response to the Petition for Dissolution in your case based on your consultation and needs.

Filing of Notice

We'll file a Notice of Limited Scope Representation, Notice of Termination of Limited Scope Representation, and an explanatory letter to the Court and opposing counsel;

Serving the Response

We'll then serve the Response, Notice of Limited Scope Representation, Notice of Termination of Limited Scope Representation, and the explanatory letter on the opposing party or the opposing party’s attorney.

Next Steps Forward

You'll get a brief letter with personalized recommendations and outlining next steps for your legal matter.

Wrap-up Phone Call
