The State Bar of Michigan's Access to Justice for All Task Force convened an "Unbundling Work Group" to develop a working definition of unbundling and to analyze the state Court Rules and Rules of Professional Conduct. The work group noted that advice and counsel are currently accepted unbundled legal services but recommended a formalized approach (including education of the public and the bar) to limited appearances and representation. Overall the work group issued a report strongly recommending unbundled legal services.
In Michigan, it is ethical for an attorney to limit the objectives of representation of the client if the client consents after consultation. Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct, 1.2 (b).
