For an experienced Idaho Divorce attorney, located in Boise call (208) 472-2383, divorce, criminal law, DUI, bankruptcy, personal injury, probate, estate planning and business law.
Can you be your own lawyer? This is a common question people ask me everyday. The answer depends upon many factors, many having nothing to do with intelligence! Seriously, though, can you be your own lawyer? Many people represent themselves in Idaho courts everyday. This, however, doesn't mean they are successful. While it is true that no one knows your case better than you do, it is also true that you might not no or understand rules of evidence. You may not know how or where to file court documents or in a timely manner. You may end up making matters worse for yourself.
I am a Divorce Attorney, a criminal lawyer, a bankruptcy lawyer and so on. It is what I do day in and day out. Am I a plumber? No I am not. While I can read books on plumbing and even try my hand at it, I often have to redo the project several times and I often make matters worse. Likewise, I am not an electrician, but I can read books on how to wire my house. The problem is, I don't really understand electricity and how to wire and because I don't I will end up getting shocked.
If you need to get a divorce or file for bankruptcy or have a criminal matter pending against you - don't get shocked. It really makes sense to get an attorney who is experienced and knows the rules of evidence, knows the deadlines and knows the law. It will cost you some money but in the long run you may end up saving money by having it done right the first time.
If you would like to speak to an attorney, please call (208) 472-2383. You will be glad you did.
