Are there attorneys that served the Superior Court of California, Stanley Mosk court, on a limited scope representation basis for a pro se litigant in a quiet title foreclosure defense lawsuit? I can't afford full representation.

A: Yes, you can find attorneys who offer limited scope representation (also called "unbundled services") at the Stanley Mosk Courthouse in Los Angeles for foreclosure defense and quiet title cases. Limited scope means the attorney handles specific parts of your case while you handle the rest.

The Los Angeles County Bar Association offers a lawyer referral service that can connect you with attorneys who take limited scope cases. Additionally, the Los Angeles Law Library provides resources and regular workshops where you can meet attorneys who offer these services. Many of these lawyers work with sliding scale fees or payment plans to make their services more affordable.

To get started, contact the LA County Bar Association's Lawyer Referral Service at (213) 243-1525 or visit the Stanley Mosk Self-Help Resource Center on the 2nd floor. The staff there can direct you to attorneys who regularly handle limited scope representation in foreclosure cases. Remember to ask potential attorneys about their experience with quiet title actions and foreclosure defense, their fee structure, and exactly which parts of your case they would handle under a limited scope agreement.
