Freedom and Justice!

 This is more of an emotional decision, based on having the feeling that you aren’t comfortable representing yourself. The comfort level varies from person-to-person, depending upon factors such as how much you know about the area of law, how much information is readily available, how much effort you are willing to put in to educating yourself, how well you understand legal terms and concepts (such as contracts, court documents, laws, court rules, and court opinions), and how confident you are in your ability to express yourself in English, both verbally and in writing (especially if you need to appear in court). If you decide “I can’t afford to lose this case,” it’s time to find a lawyer.
