Self-representation legal support group (SJ)
Description
Self-representation has its benefits, but much procedure and many tricks are not documented. An experienced group can profice that information and also support both moral and emotional - which lawyers cannot.
The goal is to provide support in building civil cases, which requires research. We can hire a sympathetic lawyer or paralegal, but people with self-representation experience would be valuable. We can possibly hire a kind therapist.
We have a private Facebook group. Anonymity is essential as is screening members to assure we are all genuine.
I have a year+ experience in a difficult separation. The adversarial lawyer is outright viscous, and mine has been expensive and weak. I built a strong case with advice and research, but my lawyer ignored it in the triage. There were other issues and statements that made me wonder. Part of the adversarial strategy was to financially tap me out, which obviously benefited my lawyer. Not good.
