Legal Referrals and Limited Representation

This webinar will provide a brief overview of how counseling practitioners distinguish the line between the provision of housing counseling and the practice of law. Covered topics include instances where a housing counselor and the client may benefit from the assistance of an attorney (both pre and post judgment); and how to discuss the concept of limited representation to clients. Participants will learn the meaning of limited representation, how to explain the concept in layman’s terms to clients, and how and when to make referrals to attorneys.
