The Law Office of Jacob I. Kiani offers various cost-effective, “unbundled” employment law services to small businesses throughout California at flat rate fees.

For a comprehensive list of our unbundled free and paid online legal forms, please visit our separate platform for the creation of unbundled, attorney-reviewed online legal forms.  Simply answer a simple online questionnaire, and the firm will use the information you provide to create your paid online legal form, which will be reviewed by an attorney and provided to you for your use, filing, and/or recording.

We provide certain employment law services to our clients on an “unbundled” basis, which means we perform only a specific legal task of limited scope and duration in exchange for a one-time, flat rate fee. Our clients can purchase as few, or as many, of the legal services we offer on an “a la carte” basis, and pay only for the particular legal services they want.

Need a new Employee Handbook? We can tailor one to fit the specific needs of your business for a reasonable, fixed, flat rate fee regardless of how long it takes us to complete the project. When you get your bill, there are no surprises and no hidden fees. We tell you exactly how much each unbundled legal service will cost ahead of time. This certainty in calculating the legal expenses of your business is rare in the legal industry, with most law firms still wedded to the unworkable billable hour.

“Unbundled” legal services, also known as “limited legal services” or “discrete task representation,” is using your lawyer for what only a lawyer can do. You purchase the legal services or advice you need and no more. You enter into a Limited Services Retainer Agreement which specifies the scope of representation, and usually for a fixed price. Example of limited legal services are:

• legal forms bundled with legal advice for a fixed price;
• legal advice purchased by the question or by the session;
• legal review and analysis of a single document;
• court coaching services, where your attorney assists you in representing yourself.

in court, but doesn’t make an appearance on your behalf.

Online limited legal services are legal services that are delivered via the Internet, rather than within the law firm’s physical office. This results in additional savings and efficiencies for clients who prefer to deal with their lawyers via the Internet. The Law Office of Jacob I. Kiani has the capability, should it make sense in a given situation, to deliver online legal services or acting as a “virtual lawyer.”

A “virtual law firm” is a law firm that delivers legal services directly to clients via the Internet through a password-protected, secure Web space. Some experts refer to this as virtual law practice. Here clients may purchase legal services as needed via online credit card payment, and the attorney and client can communicate, share files and interact in a variety of ways.

The key feature of a “virtual law firm” is the use of a website that incorporates interactive and web-enabled programs to support interaction between lawyer and client along a number of dimensions. An attorney who simply works out of his or her home, without a physical law office, but offers legal services in the traditional way is not a “virtual law firm” by this definition.
