Representing Yourself
If you represent yourself without the benefit of an attorney you are known as a Pro Se Litigant. "Pro Se" is a Latin term meaning "for yourself."
As a pro se litigant, you enjoy every right under the law. However, pro se litigants are expected to follow and abide by the rules that govern the practice of law in the court room.
A 1991 American Bar Association study of self-represented litigants showed:
Persons with incomes less than $50,000 are more likely to represent themselves.
About 20% of self-represented litigants report they can afford an attorney but do not want one.
Self-represented persons are more likely to be satisfied with the judicial process than those who are represented by attorneys.
Almost 75% of those who represented themselves in court said they would do it again.
If you do not feel comfortable Representing yourself we can help you find a Lawyer that will Repesent you your way. There are some very good ones out there, but...
I have run into a lot of Lawyers that are lazy if not incompetent, they only want to go through the motions of defending your rights. I was told by one Lawyer that "The court won't do anything about it anyway, so why bring it up" To get in the court record that's why!
You need someone who will stand up and defend you with 110% of thier ability and not worry about the other cases he has to argue in front of this judge next week. Maybe that Lawyer should be you... Doing it your way.
