To be "Pro Per" or "Pro Se"
is to represent yourself in a legal matter without retaining an attorney.
There are a couple of reasons to do so. You might be able to handle
most issues yourself without the need for an attorney. Alternatively,
you might not want to spend the money necessary to retain an attorney.
Centennial Law Offices provides a complete suite
of Pro Per assistance services at a fraction of the cost of being fully
represented by counsel. There are two main categories of assistance
available to self-represented parties:
Nationwide Legal Research (legal questions)-
If you have general legal questions you need promptly
answered, we offer research on all substantive or procedural law. Fees
start at just $25.00 for this service. You may ask your question right
away and receive a fee estimate within a couple of hours. Many quick
questions are answered within the day. More complicated questions may
take up to a week to be thoroughly researched. All legal research is
performed by individuals with a Juris Doctorate (law degree) obtained
in the United States. A thorough legal memo of the law including citations
to legal authority (cases, statutes, treatises) is provided. Legal research
is available to residents nationwide.

Limited Representation
& Specific Services
(Have an attorney help you with part of your case)-
Limited Representation involves retaining an attorney
to represent you in only one or more parts of your case. For example,
if you have filed or responded to a divorce filing, you may retain counsel
only on the issue of child support payments. If you have decided to
file a lawsuit, you may retain counsel only for the purpose of writing
your Complaint.
With fees starting at just $50.00, Specific Services are aimed at assisting
you in representing yourself. As a Pro Per litigant, you may often find
yourself lost in a maze of difficult procedural requirements. You may
need legal advice or have specific legal questions pertaining to your
case. Our Specific Services will assist you with many of these issues.
The services offered by Centennial Law Offices differ from that provided
by document preparation businesses in that document preparation businesses
are not attorneys and may not provide you with legal advice. Limited
Representation and Specific Services are only available to California
residents.
