In Pro Per Legal Assistance

For simple disputes, business filings, and transactional matters, self-help is a viable option to hiring an attorney. However, non-attorneys face daunting challenges representing themselves in the technical and arcane world of the legal profession. Often, in pro per litigants will need to turn to paralegals or need to consult with an attorney.

Paralegals are not allowed by law to provide you with legal advice but may have specialized experience preparing specific types of forms or investigating and obtaining evidence to use with a legal document. Attorneys can represent you in legal actions and they are obligated by law to provide you with advice on preparing and using the correct legal documents.
