A pro se litigant is a person who represents himself or herself
in a civil lawsuit or who defends himself or herself in a criminal prosecution.
Representing oneself in civil and criminal litigation has advantages
as well as disadvantages.
Some disadvantages to representing oneself in litigation include:
At first glance, it may appear that representing oneself in civil litigation is a viable alternative to retaining competent legal counsel. However, many find that there is no substitute for competent legal counsel and advice. Do not be one of those who find out too late how valuable competent legal counsel is to achieving the desired outcome in court. The Virtual Law Firm is an alternative to unassisted self-representation and costly full service legal representation.

If full service legal representation is necessary, The Virtual Law Firm can refer you to legal counsel at no additional charge.

The Virtual Law Firm can help you focus on solutions rather than problems. |
