Should I Represent Myself In A Criminal Case?
You have the right to represent yourself in your criminal case, but this is NEVER recommended, even if you are an attorney. Even though you do not have formal training as an Attorney, under current law, the Court must treat you like an Attorney. In the words of one of my former judicial colleagues, “Being your own lawyer in court is like being your own surgeon during brain surgery.” If you are considering representing yourself in your criminal case, contact My DUI Guy, a Division of Ancient City Law for a free consultation today because if you make a mistake, sometimes that cannot be fixed.
