About our Online/Virtual Law Office

The Law Office of Shawna Collins additionally provides online affordable, limited legal services pertaining to North Carolina Law. Primarily, this online site handles family law issues, such as domestic violence, divorce, child custody, child support, alimony, equitable distribution, and adoptions; however, we can handle other areas of the law online depending on the needs of the client. When you use our online service, we are providing only a limited scope of legal services as requested and purchased by you. Our relationship with you will not exceed the limited scope of work we have agreed to perform on your behalf. The Terms and Conditions published on this website specifically set forth and control the extent of this relationship.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

When you register online for legal services, you will first tell us what you need or what legal advice you are seeking. You will then receive a fixed price quote to receive legal advice or other legal services. We tell you upfront how much it will cost. If you accept the quoted price and agree to the Terms and Conditions stated in the limited legal services agreement, click on "accept" on your user login page and within a short time you will have the ability to pay for and receive the requested legal services.

WHO NEEDS/REQUESTS THIS SERVICE?

After years of meeting with clients and litigating in court, one common thread constantly appeared in practicing law. So many people need help, but a large number simply cannot afford to pay the fees charged by full-service attorneys. A new, alternative choice was desperately needed for those who want limited services, for those who cannot afford to meet with an attorney in his or her office for hundreds of dollars per billable hour. In the past, those folks often represented themselves and received no advice or guidance. Now, there is an alternative.
