How a Consumer Hired a Lawyer to Review a Marriage Separation Agreement in California

In 2024, a personal client in California sought assistance with a marriage separation agreement. The client, who is an attorney representing himself, needed a thorough review of a 20-page document to identify any missing elements or errors, as well as to receive feedback on potential changes or additions. With the wife represented by her own legal counsel, the client was particularly interested in flagging any issues and having a follow-up discussion to clarify important points. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $700 to $1,500, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than one week.
