Re: writing and filing pleas

In most instances, you can always represent yourself. One question to consider is how confident are you that your work will meet all the Federal, State, and local rules. If you don't handle things correctly, you may end up wasting your money on filing fees and your time which is money.

Before you decide to handle a case on your own, determine how much money you are truly spending by representing yourself, how much time you are spending, whether the case is technical or has a high penalty, etc. Then shop around for attorneys. You might be pleasantly surprised at how many different quotes you may get. Good luck to you.
