People Who Represent Themselves Are Held to the Same Standards as Attorneys
Pro se litigants (individuals representing themselves) are held to the exact same standards as lawyers. This means that they are expected to know the same things as a family law attorney, including:
- Arizona law
- Family court procedures and rules
- Family mediation procedures
- Filing and court ordered requirements and deadlines
- And more
Can you do it yourself? You can, but ask yourself if you will be happy with the results. Far too many times, we have seen a pro se litigant struggle before a judge against an experienced lawyer.
Save Money by Doing It Right the First Time
Clients often come in to our law office and ask, “I represented myself. Now, what can you do to fix what happened in my case?” It is much more difficult to fix a mistake made in a child custody, child support or another divorce hearing than it is to do it right the first time. By hiring an experienced family law attorney to guide you through the process, you will save yourself time and may even save money.
Because we are keenly aware of the financial situation many of our clients are in, we provide options for low cost legal services. To find out how our approach can work for you during your divorce or other family law issue, contact our law office in Phoenix, Arizona.
