Unlimited Access to a North Carolina Divorce Attorney

First, you’ve got to apply to the program

In order to determine your qualification for the NC Divorce Coaching System, you need to take these three steps:

1. Register for the NC Divorce Coaching System.
2. Wait for approval as we conduct a conflicts of interest check as required by the North Carolina State Bar. Your access to the system will be granted within 24 hours if approved (usually faster).
3. Use this time to gather your financial information and personal info. Locate your account statements, deeds, vehicle titles and gather dates of birth for all parties along with social security numbers.

Once you’re approved, take the following actions

1. Watch the Overview webinar so you’ll have a complete sense of the process.
2. Get organized. Use the NC Divorce Coaching System organizing kit to create an inventory.
3. Identify your goals for the outcome. Use the NC Divorce Coaching System Goals Workbook to identify your concerns.
4. Create a settlement process chart. Use it to plan out your negotiation strategies and any concessions you’re willing to make.
5. Create a list of your legal questions and send it to your attorneys.
6. Process the response to your questions.
7. Draft a Separation Agreement (along with any other documents – deeds, retirement plan distribution documents, etc.) using the forms and videos on the site.
8. Send your drafting questions to our attorneys.
9. Wrap up the drafting based on the attorney responses.
10. Schedule a negotiation session with your spouse. Follow our advice for when and where.
11. Negotiate, negotiate, negotiate. Send us questions as issues arise. Let us help.
12. Make changes to the Separation Agreement and sign it.
13. Prepare your divorce Complaint, Summons, Judgment, and related documents using the forms on the Do-It-Yourself website.
14. Get your divorce at the appropriate time (You will, of course, cancel your membership as soon as you’ve prepared your divorce documents. There’s no need to pay a monthly fee after you’ve got everything ready to go).

Finally, what if we can’t agree?

That happens sometimes. If you and your spouse reach an impasse, you can choose to move forward, with our help, to a court resolution. You can use the NC Divorce Coaching System to get advice about the necessary paperwork and court requirements. Our attorneys will answer your questions about forms to file, steps to take, court appearances, discovery techniques, witness interviewing, direct and cross examination and opening and closing arguments. We’ll stick with you as long as you’d like to maintain a membership in the NC Divorce Coaching System.

Alternatively, if representing yourself in a litigation situation seems like more than you want to handle, we can help you transition to a more traditional relationship with one of the attorneys in our firm.

Will This Work For Me?

Are you looking for an alternative to the traditional lawyer/client relationship? Are you willing to take on more of the work yourself? Do you have what it takes to manage your own property, children and finances? Can you rise above the emotion, make good decisions, and guide yourself to a positive outcome?

Many people prefer to do the legal work themselves for a variety of reasons. But this isn’t the right way to go for everyone. You may need someone to guide you, step-by-step, through the divorce process. Your situation may be complex. Your spouse may be abusive. In many instances, you’re just better off having an attorney take control of your case and drive it to conclusion.

Why Would I Do It Myself?

For some people, it’s about saving money. In our current economic climate that makes even more sense. For some, it’s about maintaining control of family decision-making. They don’t want outside influences taking the family in a direction inconsistent with their values and beliefs. And for some, frankly, it’s about lawyers. Some people believe that lawyers make things worse, not better. I’m not sure I agree. I’ve always tried to bring peace to families, but I understand that not everyone sees it that way.

What Can I Accomplish With The NC Divorce Coaching System?

You will be able to use the system to negotiate arrangement for all issues relating to the end of your marriage. You can negotiate property division, alimony, child custody and child support. You can use the system to have your divorce granted by the court. You can litigate all issues yourself including equitable distribution, alimony, child custody and support. Ultimately, you can do everything you want to do without hiring an attorney to negotiate for you and appear for you in court. You have the legal right to do all of this without hiring an attorney to handle these matters. You are permitted to do it yourself.

Can I Really Do It Myself?

We’ve found that you can. Many couples become frustrated by the process and decide to do an end-run around the system. They sit down at the kitchen table and figure out how to divide their property, plan for their children’s care, and work out their financial issues. They come back to us and say “write it up.” They could have saved a lot of time and aggravation if they had headed straight to that kitchen table on day one.

How Much Does It Cost?

The NC Divorce Coaching System is $199 per month. Our billing is handled by PayPal. You can pay by credit card, debit card, or directly from your bank account. We will automatically bill you on the monthly anniversary date of your enrollment. You can cancel at any time by logging in to PayPal.

Why Is This So Inexpensive?

You’re right–the NC Divorce Coaching System is inexpensive. It saves you money (lots of money) compared to hiring a lawyer for traditional representation. That’s because you’re going to have to do most of the work yourself. When you pay a lawyer a large retainer, you expect your lawyer to do the work for you. With the NC Divorce Coaching system you’re going to have to make things happen. The NC Divorce Coaching system will help you avoid mistakes, it will direct you to the resources you need, and it will help you find the answers to your questions.

Is Coaching Right For Me?

In an ideal world, we think, every person going through a divorce would have a wonderful lawyer at his or her side. Unfortunately, that’s not the way things work out. If you’re willing to do the leg work, if you’re able to edit some basic documents and negotiate with your spouse, then our system can work for you. If, ultimately, you find that you can’t work out the details with your spouse, then you will have learned a great deal and made some progress so that a lawyer will have less to do (and will perhaps charge you less) if you decide you need to hire counsel.

What Do I Get?

You get unlimited access to forms, webinars, videos, articles, FAQs, statutes, calculators and, most importantly, you get unlimited email access to an attorney. You’ll get answers to all of your questions as you move through the process.

How Do I Get Started?

Sign up. We’ll need 24 hours to approve your application (we’re required to check for conflicts of interest). Then get started. We suggest that you take a day or two to learn as much as possible before you put together a plan of action so that you’re working from a position of understanding the best approach.

What’s Going To Happen First?

You can dive right into the site. We encourage you to watch a webinar providing an overview of the process before you do anything else.

Can I Really Do This Without A Lawyer?

Maybe. More than half of all divorces are completed without a lawyer. We don’t make any promises other than to answer all your questions, give you the forms you need and educate you to the best of our ability.

What Do I Get If I Apply? Will I Have An Attorney?

You’ll get access to an attorney, which is the most important thing. It’s tough to do this yourself when all you have is a fill-in-the-blank form. You need someone who can give you answers to your questions. Our attorneys will answer your questions quickly and accurately. You’ll have unlimited email access to an attorney.

What About Forms?

You’ll have private access to our NC Divorce Coaching System website. It’s a members-only site featuring a wealth of content. You’ll have access to an extensive forms library, where you’ll be able to download our draft documents and customize them to your situation. If you need a form that’s not in our library, just ask and we’ll upload the form you need.

Will The Forms Be Ready To Use?

No, we provide example forms. You’ll need to tailor them to the specifics of your situation.

Will Someone Review My Forms?

No, we can’t review your forms. We’ll do our best to make sure you’re on the right track and we’ll show you examples of properly completed forms.

What Else Do I Get If I’m Accepted?

You’ll also get live access to frequent webinars. You can watch, listen and ask questions. You’ll learn about divorce, property division, alimony, child custody, child support, alienation of affection and domestic violence. You’ll have unlimited access to the live programs as well as the recordings.

We also have a wealth of educational videos, FAQs, articles and white papers. They’re well-organized, well-written, and will guide you, step-by-step, through the divorce process.

What If I Have To Go To Court?

We can answer all your questions and we’ll provide you with the educational information you need to prepare. Of course, going to court by yourself is challenging. If your spouse is going to have a lawyer, we’d encourage you to have one as well. If you decide not to hire counsel for court then we will, of course, do our best to help you do it yourself.

Will I Be Guaranteed To Win?

No. Even with a lawyer by your side you can’t be guaranteed that you’ll win.

What Will I Learn?

You’ll get specific answers to your specific questions. You’ll learn the strategies and tactics that work. You’ll learn the vocabulary you need and you’ll understand the process.

What If I Want To Talk To A Lawyer On The Phone?

At this time, we don’t offer that service as part of our NC Divorce Coaching System. We’re considering offering that option in the future.

What If I Want To Meet With A Lawyer?

At this time, we don’t offer that service as part of our NC Divorce Coaching System. We’re considering offering that option in the future.

Who Will Be My Lawyer?

Your questions will be answered by the next available attorney. We will not assign a specific attorney to your questions. You will be responsible for managing the overall strategy of your case. That’s what it means to Do It Yourself with the help of the NC Divorce Coaching System. You will not have a specific attorney with our firm.

What If I Want A Lawyer To Go To Court Or To A Mediation With Me?

At this time, we don’t offer that service as part of our Do-It-Yourself system. We’re considering offering that option in the future.

Can I Share Access With My Spouse?

We are only permitted to work with one party in a divorce. Our private communications with you are protected by the attorney-client privilege. We can only answer your questions, and sharing our communications with your spouse will destroy that privilege.

What If I Turn Out Not To Be A Do-It-Yourselfer?

We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you’re not happy, simply ask for a refund. If you’d like to switch to a traditional attorney/client relationship, you’ll have the option of transitioning to a lawyer in our firm if we serve your geographic area.

How Do I Apply?

Enrolling in our service is easy. Just click on the link below and we’ll process your application. You’ll be asked to review our terms and conditions and we’ll collect some identifying information.

LIMITED SCOPE REPRESENTATION
CLIENT AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT, hereinafter referred to as the “Agreement”, a contract for employment for limited legal services, is made and entered into by and between Rosen Law Firm, hereinafter referred to as “the Firm,” and [Client] hereinafter referred to as “the Client.”

By entering into this Agreement and checking the “I Agree” box, Client employs the Firm to provide Client unlimited electronic access to an attorney with regard to Client’s domestic issues or dispute. Client shall also have access to the forms, videos, articles and other materials made available to the Client at the discretion of the Firm. The Firm is unbundling its services and offering this limited scope representation as an alternative to its full service legal representation.

Representation. Representation shall consist solely of unlimited electronic communication between the Client and the Firm to respond to questions regarding Client’s domestic issues or dispute. Representation shall not include drafting agreements, review of settlement documents, communication with opposing counsel, telephone calls, in-person conferences, or other services. The electronic communications between the Client and the Firm are privileged and confidential communications. Representation shall terminate upon cancellation of the contract in writing by either the Client or the Firm or failure to pay fees as set forth below. A separate agreement will be negotiated between the Client and Firm in the event the Client requests further representation in addition to electronic communication, such as negotiation, verbal communication, in-person conferences, drafting settlement or other documents, litigation or an appeal. The Client acknowledges that the Firm will not provide services to the Client beyond the above-described electronic communications until such time as a separate agreement is executed.

The Firm shall provide limited representation to the Client in accordance with the laws of North Carolina related to the Client’s domestic issues or dispute. However, due to the limited scope of representation, the Client agrees and understands that the electronic communications are based upon the limited factual information made available and are not intended as a conclusive response to the Client’s questions regarding the domestic issues or dispute. The only manner in which to obtain comprehensive legal representation is to retain an attorney to provide a full range of legal services related to Client’s situation. The responsive information provided by the Firm is designed to answer specific questions posed by the Client based solely on the information the Client provides.

In consideration of the limited representation to be furnished by the Firm as set forth above, Client shall pay the Firm pursuant to the following fee arrangements:

Fees. The Client shall pay the Firm a flat fee of One Hundred Ninety-Nine Dollars ($199.00) per month due on that date and subsequently due on the monthly anniversary of that date. Any payment that has come due and been paid by Client pursuant to this Agreement is a prepaid payment for the Client’s continued use of the Firm’s services as set forth above. This monthly payment is a flat fee for services, which is earned immediately, whether or not the Client utilizes the representation, and will be deposited into the Firm’s operating account upon receipt.

Cancellation and Refund Policy: Client agrees to provide written notice of cancellation of the Agreement at least 2 business days prior to the monthly due date for payment of services. Any other cancellation or termination will be effective on the following month’s due date and monthly fee payments will not be prorated. The fee is not subject to refund unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the fee is excessive under the circumstances.

Personnel. The Client acknowledges that he or she is employing the Firm instead of any particular individual within the firm.

Termination of Services. The Client may terminate the representation at any time.

The Firm, upon written notice to the client, may terminate the representation of the Client, and withdraw representation as set forth above, if:

1.1. The Firm discovers any conflict of interest;

1.2. The Client fails to pay immediately when due any amounts required to be paid under this Agreement;

1.3. The Firm discovers that the Client has made any misrepresentation in connection with the representation, or the Firm discovers any material variance between the facts as related to the Firm by the Client and the facts as they actually exist;

1.4. The Client acts in such a manner that, in the discretion of the Firm, the Firm deems it necessary to terminate the representation;

1.5. The Firm and the Client have a disagreement over what legal matters the Firm is supposed to be handling for the Client.

Miscellaneous Terms.

1.1. The Client may request a copy of the electronic file in digital format. By accepting this agreement, Client specifically agrees and consents that, without notice to the Client, the Firm may dispose of the electronic communications between the Firm and the Client after six (6) months have passed from the last fee paid by the Client.

1.2. Each provision of this agreement is severable. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision, paragraph, subparagraph, sentence, clause, phrase or term of this agreement shall not affect or impair the validity or enforceability of any other provision, paragraph, subparagraph, sentence, clause, phrase or term of this agreement.

1.3. By checking the “I Agree” box below, Client indicates an understanding that the Firm has not made an agreement with Client or promises to Client about the outcome or result of Client’s legal matters. Also, Client agrees to notify the Firm immediately in writing if Client feels or believes any matter is not receiving proper attention or is otherwise not being properly handled or Client suspects any misunderstanding about what the Firm is to do for Client.

1.4. By checking the “I Agree” box below, Client agrees that this Agreement has been thoroughly reviewed by the Client before being signed, and that Client has had ample opportunity to review this Agreement.
