Representing yourself, is it a good idea?
Many people want to represent themselves for a number of good reasons, cost usually leaving them no choice in the matter, but there is also a desire to prove their case themselves, to have their day in court, or they simply cannot justify the exorbitant costs that Solicitors charge for help. There is nothing wrong in representing yourself, thousands of people do it every day, but it needs to be targeted to work well. You wouldn’t try to fix your car with no knowledge and even an IKEA cabinet comes with instructions to explain what each part goes. Understanding the task ahead of you is a key element in managing to successfully represent yourself.
