Orange County and Los Angeles Family Law Attorneys serving the self represented.

Orange County and Los Angeles Family Law Attorneys serving the self-represented.

Self-representation in family law cases is a growing trend in California and across the United States. It can save self-represented litigants valuable time and money.

However, the reality is that self-representation may not be as easy as initially expected. You may want to consult an attorney about a single but important legal issue. Your paperwork might be rejected by the court if it’s not completed correctly.  You have to take steps to accomplish a goal but aren’t sure what to do.  Just because you’re self-represented doesn’t mean you have to be alone in this process.
