The Law provides that an individual may appear Pro Se ( for yourself, without an attorney ) in many Court Proceedings.

It is not recommended and your interest is best served by having an attorney with you in Court.

Appearing in Court Without an Attorney is much like being up a creek without a paddle!

See - Why Do I Need a Lawyer?

Probate

There may be occaisions when a probate becomes necessary just to release a small bank account, transfer title to an automobile, boats, etc., but the cost of probate compared to the asset to be transferred may make it uneconomical to retain an attorney.

If there is no contest and if the probate is going to be simple to do, then it is possible that you may represent yourself without difficulty.

We will discuss and price the preparation of all necessary documents and the procedures for doing this yourself.

- You should never attempt to represent yourself in a probate proceeding where title to real estate is involved - or where the sale of property is required.

• Request for Reporter - $35.00
• Request for Jury Trial - $35.00

- Sometimes we get calls from folks wanting to get forms for a Power of Attorney or a Will, or a contract.

Because forms require you to tailor what you want, to what the form provides, we do not have them.

You should talk to an attorney of your choosing for proper preparation of these types of instruments.

Never depend upon a bookstore Legal Form for any of your legal needs. Consult with an attorney before using any such forms, either for deeds, contracts, bills of sale, powers of attorney, wills or trusts!

- We have also received requests to prepare jury instructions for folks who have filed their own lawsuits, and the time has come for the case to go to trial.

No attorney can properly prepare these proposed jury instructions without fully knowing each and every element of the lawsuit.

Even after preparing the jury instructions the litigant must be fully prepared to argue the law in support of each requested instruction.

Therefore we do not prepare sets of instructions for pro-se litigants.

Never go to a jury trial without legal counsel. In the Courtroom a pro-se litigant is held to the same standard of conduct and behavior as the licensed attorney.

Without an attorney you may forfeit valuable legal rights - and may suffer financial loss in excess of what it would have cost to retain an attorney.
