Four Keys to Represent Yourself in Court Pro Se

[@answer420]

When your case is too big for any law firm to want to touch, you must represent yourself. This is a mammoth task in which I am faced, and I will rise to the challenge.

[@bryanmoreno1074]

Good luck to you, Im on the same boat

[@r.s.zabriskie1930]

Watch you tube videos on whatever matter ur facing for example facing eviction & you're going to represent yourself, very valuable if u do

[@wellwellmymichelle]

Good luck to you. I am in the same boat. My daughter's school is suing me for $50,000.00. I have called numerous attorneys. no one will touch this case.

[@maritzacampos2379]

Im being sued by the los Angeles County sheriff department for over 200,000 and I don't even have money to afford a lawyer 🥲

[@aemermujaddid7671]

Rules of evidence are drafted by the States Supreme Courts not the legislators.

[@ashleybellerose7104]

It scares me when people say i don't recommend it because I have no darn choice, guys ... please just give me the best advice. Id have a attorney if i could afford one

[@Dustin-yc4lx]

I think its best to represent yourself because most of the lawyers are in the pockets of the judges and they're all just in it for the money

[@fsestarr7788]

most importantly they really don't know your story like you do. they have 10 plus clients. they will not find the small details that you will. Who can tell your story better than you? NO ONE!!!!

[@nonoise1965]

[@damonmoorepage]

I am not 100% certain what “lawyers are in the pockets of the judges” means. Please explain. As for lawyers being “just in it for the money,” I have two thoughts that immediately come to mind. First, I often wonder why people say that about lawyers but not others in the workforce. Do you think your dentist, auto mechanic, and plumber are doing what they do because they love your teeth, your car, and your toilet, whereas the lawyer doesn’t care one bit and is just in it for the money? The truth of the matter is that most professionals do what they do because of a combination of financial and non-financial reasons. Second, there are so many lawyers that I think it is unfair to the group them all into one category labeled, “Just in it for the money.” Every major city in the United States has a legal services organization full of lawyers who do not charge the public for their services. Every major law in this country that governs the way we treat each other has had a lawyer involved in either the creation of the law or the interpretation of the law. And some of those lawyers were involved in those cases more because they wanted to help shape society than because they wanted make a buck.

[@damonmoorepage]

@@fsestarr7788 I agree with you. However, the unfortunate challenge for people who represent themselves is that they have to figure out how to tell that story in a courtroom with the constraints that the judicial system places on them.

[@Dustin-yc4lx]

Well I will explain it to you why I think that

[@chantelmorset7176]

A prepared person can represent themselves successfully . The problem is getting a judge with integrity and will follow the law.

[@sugabay]

Say that again sista

[@ThePro-Se]

That's the issue

[@gigsquared3611]

These are great information. It is daunting representing yourself because you have to be prepared. In my case I did hire a lawyer but quickly realized the other side used litigation as tool and there was no way I would survive keeping a lawyer. First step I took was get a basic understanding of the law by taking a free course on Introduction to American Law, this was intro to civil, criminal, contract and constitutional law. When I was served by the other side I used discovery and pre trail motions to buy me time to learn and also get used to the court so instead of me showing up for trial I had 4 hearings before trial and the other side did not like it but my chances was much higher. You also have to understand for you to have a better chance in representing yourself you have to be prepared. You have to know your case in and out, you have to know what exhibit you are going to present, what type of objections the other side might raise, what type of cross examination questions to ask the other side etc. basically if someone wakes you up in the middle of the night you should be able to present the case.

[@damonmoorepage]

You are someone who gets it!

[@fsestarr7788]

I think my daughter and friend are tired of me talking about it. But what they don't understand is I'm practically using them for practice. How to deliver in an effective way. I've just turned in my initial disclosure. I have over 33 exhibits. Most importantly i was able to find a document to show my employer submitted fraudulent documents to the EEOC. I filed a rule 9B. I plan to use their own position statement against them. I feel like no one can tell your story better than you. Attorneys have too many cases, to just focus on yours the way you will. You will find the little details that matter. That being said, GOOD LUCK!!

[@lorencast]

Wonderful advice❤❤ thank you so much!

[@charlesmonroe8288]

Very good advice. I am a former jailhouse lawyer, and went to paralegal school on the outside as well. Actual law library is better than the internet. The law libraries not only have rule books, statutory books, case books, and sample forms,; they also have Shepard's (for updating your cases), volumes on State and Federal Practices and Procedures, and some law libraries have the West's Key Digest. These are the tools of legal research.

[@jacobcavender6346]

Thank you for giving advice to the general public! My grandfather suffered multiple strokes and was also being abused by a live in partner. He doesn't have the money for a lawyer and was having trouble with his insurance, emergency guardianship is what got me started, followed by conservatorship, restraining order, starting divorce proceedings as they are considered "common law". it has been a LOT of work and I have garnered a new respect for law and its proceedings! Without the help of individuals like yourself navigating these waters would have been next to impossible and an embarrassing waste of time. Thank you

[@jordanjames6729]

I've had 3 different lawyers from 3 different law firms. Yes I learned some great things from them but ultimately they became disinterested and started to drop the ball as in not submitting the evidence before a hearing despite me giving it to them.

[@kylelove927]

Because lawyers are officers of the court. They have no duty to work for you, in your best interest.

[@ashleybellerose7104]

​@kylelove927 pretty sure once you have a lawyer representing you, you do need to give them all documents. They do the work for you. Thats why you pay them a butt ton of money my guy

[@chantelmorset7176]

When they sign that contract to represent you, they can be held accountable for not representing your case with your best interest in mind.They must follow proper process and procedure and see your case to the end. I had three hearings representing myself. The judges were working against me. During discovery process I had requested employees information and the HR Director asked the judge if she had to give it to me. The judge told her no you can refer to them as employee 1,2,3. The judge knew I would need that contact information to subpoena those employees. That was a violation of my constitutional rights. You have a right to be due process, a rights to be heard, a right to Equal protection under the law. The judge refused to adhere to the appeal process. So corrupt.

I found some advocacy groups for domestic abuse in my state that offer free calls with attorneys and it’s been extremely helpful for me. They even sit on the phone and walk me through what forms to fill out and how, how to word things on motions I’m filing, etc. I know there are also paid legal lines I’ve been referred to but I think they’re basically the same thing and cost like $20 per 30 minute call.

You got it love, KZbin and see if you can find actual court procedures, practice at home, maybe record you self.

Just emerge yourself into finding all the info needed, this is your time to soak up it all. If I have free time I can help by doing research on statues, codes, motions etc for a exchange of a review.

[@elpllc7541]

The reason to not hire attorney is that they do nothing but take your money. They do not represent you with any conviction. They only want your money. At the end of the day, the result is the same whether or not you have an attorney representing you. I’ve had the misfortune of hiring attorneys that did not represent me appropriately. Everything is about a plea and the case is resolved. Game over. Next case

[@damonmoorepage]

You said everything is about a plea and the case is resolved. That leads me to believe that your personal experience with lawyers involved criminal cases. I have found that the criminal justice can be very frustrating for reasons that go far beyond whether you are able to afford an attorney.

One of the saddest days of my life was the day I realized the “America” I grew up believing & being proud of, was totally false. Every branch & system within our government is totally corrupt & the “justice” system is probably the worst one IMO. It has basically turned into he who has the money wins. In civil & family court it’s even worse bc you have no “right to an attorney” so you’re just screwed if you can afford one basically. And often times the consequences stemming from both civil & family court cases can be just as devastating to an individual as any criminal case could be. The main remedy the common people have is by way of the jury. Take jury duty seriously & stop giving these prosecutors the benefit of doubt. We could literally take back a good portion of our rights via jurors

[@amalali504]

Hi from London, UK. This is very sage advice which in principal applicable here too. I'm still going through it but having sat on hearings as its possible for members of the public to observe, I've seen a few times where a misunderstanding of the CPR rules or not being fully prepared for every eventuality has unravelled someone's case to their detriment. On the other hand it helped demystify the daunting prospector being in court. Lawyers who can navigate this are key but where money is tight, doing all the leg work required and handing over the more complicated elements in preparation for the trial to a professional can be a way forward and is so far working. Finding a good fit advocate who's candid and realistic is also key to minis the stress and may make or break your case.

[@damonmoorepage]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It is great to hear that my information can have some use outside of the U.S.

[@amalali504]

@@damonmoorepage You're welcome. In the interest of adding context, the main difference in representation here is the distinction between Solicitor (who prepares the case up to trial e.g CMC Hearings/Witness Statements /adherence to Directions etc) and the Barrister (who's the advocate with permission to present the case before the Court). The two work in tandem. Hence its possible for a Litigant In Person with restricted funds with the right guidance/advice as well as aptitude/ determination and time to do a lot of the work usually undertaken by a Solicitor & hire the latter for the trial. I thought it maybe useful should you encounter British clients in future.

[@RealTalk713]

Also remember your facts are not the cause of action (s) Negligence, Emotional Distress, Retaliation, premises liability etc are examples. And then your facts have to outline the elements under that cause of actions and be sure to use the certain words stated under those elements. Its possible to be a good pro se just alot of reading.

Thank you sir

[@falaahblackwell1535]

Attorney’s first loyalty is to the Bar association.. Representing yourself put you in position to make a special appearance challenging the jurisdiction and preserving you constitutional rights which is law. Using a attorney automatically is a general appearance put you in jurisdiction under the United State which is a corporation within the District of Columbia.. Which is legal

[@damonmoorepage]

Your statement that using an attorney “automatically is a general appearance” is not correct. It is not the use of an attorney that makes an appearance either a general one or a special one. It is the document that the person files first that makes an appearance a general one or a special one. Or, to say it more precisely, a lawyer can file a special appearance for a party if the lawyer does it at the right time.

@DamonMoorePage: I am in a situation where I'm not sure if it is best to seek counsel or represent myself. In my situation, there were things done in my wrongful death suit against a hospital that led me to believe that the facility inlfuenced my attorneys to handle the case the way that they did. This particular case also warrants criminal charges that have never been filed, hence my YT channel name. Because it's been 9 1/2 years, I am also inclined to believe the that the DA (and others) have also been influenced. I am NOT just a grieving mother who doesn't want to accept that my daughter died. I am a mother who is intelligent enough to know that patient abuse and neglect that is the proximate cause of death is punishable by law. I know that falsifying medical records is a crime and also makes the person who did that an accessory before and after the fact. I filed an affidavit to remove the DA who has failed to bring charges in at least 3 crimes associated with my daughter's death and who has lied about steps he has taken in this case. If I hire an attorney, how will I know if he or she is going to work for me and not betray me behind closed doors? Given how things have been handled in the past, I may be just as well off representing myself... but doing so does make me nervous, because I won't have the comfort of experience on my side; someone who is familiar with courtroom procedure and perhaps, has a better understanding of jargon that may be used in court. I do feel I can represent my case fairly well. I don't know if I will do too well if those with courtroom experience use their skill to abuse me in that environment. What would you suggest in my case?

[@heidiclement4923]

Most attorneys say what you wanna hear until after you pay them the retainer. All of sudden they’re unavailable. They overlook or lose important evidence/ documentation supporting your case!

[@damonmoorepage]

Four things come to mind when I read your comment. First, when a person has an experience like the one that you described, it is a strong sign that a struggling client linked up with a struggling attorney. When the “best” clients are connecting with the great lawyers, the things you described will rarely happen. Second, I agree that there are attorneys who will say what the client wants to hear during the initial consultation, but there are also clients who will call around until they find an attorney who will say what they want to hear. Would you hire an attorney who tells you why you will lose after you have a conversation with an attorney who tells you why and how you can win? And there are clients who will call around until they find the least expensive attorney that they can find. The least expensive attorney tends to make up for that low retainer by doing less work. Examples of doing less work include being less available. Third, you say “all of the sudden they are unavailable” after they get the retainer. That tends to happen for one of two reasons: (1) the attorney has too many clients; or (2) the client has paid a low retainer. If the client has paid a high retainer, then the attorney will be available because being available enables the attorney to bill for the work. The client who pays an $8000 retainer to an attorney who bills $300 per hour will get more services than the client who pays $1000 down and $300 - $500 per month to the same attorney will get. One of these days, I will make a video explaining why this happens. Four, I acknowledge the possibility that an attorney can lose or overlook evidence. However, “most attorneys” do not overlook or lose important evidence or documentation supporting your case. Attorneys love winning just as much as their clients do. Losing or overlooking important evidence prevents attorneys from winning cases. Accordingly, most attorneys avoid losing or overlooking important evidence. Now, the less an attorney is paid, the less the attorney tends to prepare. And that lack of preparation can increase the possibility that the attorney overlooks something that was important. But that does not mean that “most” attorneys overlook or lose important evidence or documents.

With Chat-GPT you can use it to file answers to motions or even structure a lawsuit against another person. Lawyers will no longer be needed. Thank God!

[@damonmoorepage]

Chat-GPT will put many lawyers out of business in certain areas of the law. But it will not eliminate the need for lawyers. I can think of multiple examples to illustrate this point, but I will give you one. Imagine that you are representing yourself in the courtroom. You want the judge to look at your document. You start to hand the document to the judge. The opposing party stands up and says, “Objection: Hearsay. Plus, that document violates the local rule applicable to submissions of business records exceptions to the hearsay rule.” And the judge looks at you and says, “Your response?” If Chat-GPT did not tell you about local rules or responding to hearsay objections, then you are in trouble. There is a very real possibility that the judge is not going to look at your evidence. And once the judge decides not to look at your evidence, are you going to know what to do in order to get another court to look at your evidence at another period in time? It is possible that artificial intelligence will tell you how to address that issue. However, there is a significant difference between reading about how to handle that matter and actually handling that matter in real time, perhaps for the first time in your life, when you did not know that matter was going to become an issue. Chat-GPT will help you “file answers to motions” and “structure a lawsuit against another person.” However, once you are actually in the courtroom, artificial intelligence is not very useful in situations that require you to think on your feet.

Now, if you knew beforehand that the document you were submitting would receive a hearsay objection, then you could some research beforehand and have the response ready.

A lawyer is going recognize the hearsay issue and have a response ready in that moment. A non-lawyer is not going to recognize the issue unless the non-lawyer has had the right kind of preparation. And Chat-GPT is not going to be a reliable resource in that moment.

@@damonmoorepage A judge can still overrule hearsay if he wants to hear it.

[@damonmoorepage]

@@user-lq5pm7sw7y yes, but at that point you are counting on luck. Hoping that the judge wants to see your evidence so badly that he or she ignores the law is a bad strategy because the judge just might do the same thing for the opposing party. Edit: what you should want to do is consider each piece of evidence that you plan to submit, before the hearing, and run through the possible objections and your responses to them. Once you have done that, you will be in a much better position. That kind of preparation can be done by non-lawyers if the non-lawyer knows that the preparation needs to be done. Unfortunately, the rules of evidence can sometimes be “an unknown unknown” that is only discovered in the middle of the hearing.

Most people can’t afford a lawyer especially when your spouse abandons you

My 1 year old daughter I believe was murder by her primary care doctor. She needs a lawyer please help😢 Washington DC. If I don’t find a lawyer I will represent her. I can not let this just go her life is worth fighting for.

[@damonmoorepage]

Have you reached to any lawyers in the area who handle those kinds of cases?

[@osmanvincent1975]

Sounds like medical malpractice. If so, a medical malpractice attorney would be happy to take your case for a percentage. You definitely need an attorney here because the doctor's insurance company will fight like hell to not pay.

[@Indigenious.Kopper.Goddess]

We dont need British Accredited Registry criminals representing us!! Yall work for the courts Period!! Attorneys and Lawyers take majority of their clients cash settlements when they have sold you out in the 1st place. Plz stop saying we need a lawyer when we are Competent enough to Read for ourselves and keep our cash settlements in our pockets and not attorneys & lawyers. I commend ex-attorneys and lawyers cause they descided they dont want to rip ppl off anymore. I respect them.

[@KieveDidIt]

these things aren't going to help you unless you really have the time to do all of the research he is suggesting. It takes a lot of years for lawyers and judges before and after graduation to become who they are in their positions, and because of this, they all belong to a group of people with law degrees and a lot of skin in the game. So please don't falsely believe in any way that just because you have become versed in what he is saying you will become a top lawyer in the country or become simply invincible during litigation. No lawyer or judge respects or takes any of those who have gained an understanding of the law through search engines or law libraries seriously. Your battle will be more difficult than that of a 1st year law grad. Do you want to be taken seriously as a pro se litigant? Then it is best to take a nap because only in your sleep will "they" (the general percentage of BAD judges and lawyers whom you will face) take you seriously enough for you to prevail in your case. The fight continues WISE V DEJOY

How many cases have people representing themselves won?

[@damonmoorepage]

How can anyone possibly answer that question? There are thousands of cases that take place every day. And no one is keeping track of the exact number of wins by anyone.
