Why hire an attorney instead of representing my interests pro se?
For most legal matters, it is always best to have the representation of a competent attorney. Attorneys have knowledge and experience with legal matters that non-attorneys do not. Even with the vast resources available online to assist people with legal issues, having an attorney represent you will often save time, money, and aggravation. Attorneys know what forms and documents must be submitted, and when they must be submitted. One mistake made by a pro se litigant may cost that person the case, and may be very costly indeed.
