Can I Try My Own Case?

Yes, you can. You need to understand that you are held to the standard of an attorney and you need to know the rules of the court and how to present exhibits. I have met with clients who have been very disheartened about not being able to tell their story to the judge and get reports, emails, texts, or police reports into evidence. So, what option do you have if you cannot afford an attorney? You could consider hiring a “Coach.” We can meet with you and go through the rules, expectations, exhibits, pre-trial statements and expectations. We can teach you how to represent yourself in court. It is not perfect, it most likely is not as good as an experienced family law attorney but it is better than walking into court unprepared.

Call Best Law Firm at 480-219-2433  and ask to schedule a Coaching session for your next court date.
