Re: Me represanting my case
The short answer is yes, you can represent yourself. However, you cannot represent your business if that is the entity that, in fact, entered into the agreements and is owed the money. In addition, with $260,000 at stake, it is likely that any lawsuit would involve lawyers on the other side, and you would be in a much stronger position with your own attorney. With respect to the cost of legal representation, you should inquire as to options that may be available to you, including possibly some sort of contingency arrangement. If you would like to discuss this further I would be happy to speak with you about it, as my firm handles commercial matters such as this.
Re: Me represanting my case
A company or corporation must be represented by an attorney in New York. However, if you have a viable claim for that much money I am sure we can work out some contingency arragngement. We have substantial experience handling these types of cases, however, we would need some more information before making a complete and proper determination.
