Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
Do you have to take representation with you to a court ordered mediation? There
is a jury trial to take place afterwards. Can I just go by my self to save money
for the mediation? When I went to the guys deposition, he was just making up stuff, saying money was owed to them, with no proof. So, couldn't one just go to a court ordered mediation by one's self without representation? Thank you.

It is always better to have competent counsel with you at any Court ordered event.
