Yes you definitely can. Whether or not you should depends on a lot of different things, but you have the right to represent yourself.
Not if you can help it. Representing yourself in court is not a good idea – far better to hire an attorney.
Cost is the biggest reason people represent themselves. Attorney’s fees for a civil lawsuit can range between $20k to more than $100k. A lot of people just don’t have that kind of money.
No. The constitution guarantees the right to counsel to criminal defendants. If you are in civil case, there is no such right.
Yes and No. Most judges are conscientious enough to try to be fair to all litigants, whether represented or not. At the same time however court dockets are crowded, and judges have little patience for those who come into court unprepared and disregarding established rules and procedures.
Everybody will tell you that you can represent yourself – but no one will tell you how. The legal profession is very protective of its monopoly, and discourages people from representing themselves.
