State Legislatures and State Supreme Courts throughout the Untied States have made changes to the laws concerning
what type of legal services an attorney can provide to a client. Attorneys have been slow to change from the old ways
of doing business because the old way is much more profitable. Simply put, in the past attorneys were not allowed to
limit their represenation, which meant large retainers were charged in almost every case. Attorneys are now allowed
to provide legal services to fit the clients actual needs and ability to pay.
Affordable Legal Services was created to implement these changes in the law.

El Paso County Courthouse
The El Paso County Court handles more cases then any other Court in the state of Colorado. In 2003 Affordable Legal
Services founder, Mike McCready, an attorney for over twenty years, was given permission from the Chief Judge and the Court
Administrator of the El Paso County District Court to place notices in the Courthouse informing people of seminars he was
presenting, which educated the public about what is referred to as limited legal representation. His experience and
knowledge about this new type of legal service has been used to develop this website.
