Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in North Carolina

A Motion For Sanctions For Failure To Participate In Arbitration

I need advice! Do I need a Lawyer, consultation, or just advice. I have to appear for a Motion For Sanctions For Failure To Participate In Arbitration. This Motion was filed to stop the Trial De Novo. I requested the Trial De Novo because I never recieved any notification of the Arbitration which was held without me. The notices for the Arbitration were sent to a wrong address, which I can prove. The plantiff has a lawyer that's trying to keep me from stating my case and I'm afraid that without one representing me, an unfair judgement will be awarded against me to the plantiff.
