BE YOUR OWN LAWYER

Empowering You to Represent Yourself

All About Be Your Own Lawyer

Who We Are

Be Your Own Lawyer was created for one purpose and one purpose only.

To help people who find themselves in court without an attorney.

We’re a group of experienced attorneys who no longer practice full time and have devoted ourselves to providing affordable legal help and support to people who for one reason or another find themselves involved in a court case without an attorney.

Why We Formed Be Your Own Lawyer

 People representing themselves in court need help. It’s that simple. 

The playing field is not level or fair.

And a pro se (that’s you if you’re in court representing yourself) litigant faces a lot of challenges:

  • attorneys have years of legal training – a pro se litigant has none
  • attorneys have experienced court and litigation before – for a pro se litigant it may be the first time they’ve set foot in a courtroom
  • judges are sometimes impatient with pro se litigants
  • attorneys don’t even try to hide their dislike of pro se litigants
  • pro se litigants don’t have access to the same resources as attorneys

 

Need we go on? Suffice it to say that the cards are stacked against those who for one reason or another have to be in court without an attorney.

And that’s why Be Your Own Lawyer was formed. We provide the help and guidance you need to represent yourself in court.
