Christopher Stefan, Esq. has been a member of the California bar since October 2008. He attended law school at American University’s Washington College of Law in Washington D.C. During law school, Mr. Stefan received the highest grade in his class for both family law and oil and gas law. Shortly after graduation, Mr. Stefan began working for a national consumer protection law firm. While there, Mr. Stefan literally helped thousands of consumers facing litigation from credit card companies. In 2011, Mr. Stefan opened a solo practice in Los Angeles, where he began assisting clients with family law matters, unlawful detainers, criminal defense, and general civil litigation. As a general practitioner, Mr. Stefan assisted people in a wide variety of capacities, including providing attorney of record services for several complex entertainment litigation and real estate matters. While those cases were ongoing, Mr. Stefan also continued assisting consumers by providing limited scope services, primarily in family law matters. In 2014, Mr. Stefan re-organized his operation into the Limited Scope Law Group, where he began to focus primarily on assisting people in limited scope (self-represented before the court). Over half of the clients he serves are family law matters, including divorce, child custody, and domestic violence restraining order cases. Other matters include unlawful detainers, credit card/debt litigation defense, simple criminal defense, civil litigation, and the occasional bankruptcy matter. Mr. Stefan prides himself on being able to assist clients who primarily represent themselves in pro per, and Mr. Stefan has prepared a series of informational videos on his website designed to educate in pro per litigants.
