Orange County and Los Angeles Family Law Attorneys
Self-representation in family law legal matters is a growing trend in California and across the United States. It can save self-represented litigants valuable time and money.
However, the reality is that self-representation may not be as easy as initially expected. A pro-se/pro per litigant (self-represented litigant) may want to consult an attorney about a single but important legal issue to ensure that the proper legal steps are taken. Paperwork can quickly be rejected by the court if it is completed incorrectly.
If you are looking to represent yourself in a family law matter, but want an attorney to double-check your work, or provide limited legal advice, we can help.
Hammers & Baltazar Family Law, with offices in Santa Monica and Newport Beach, offers experienced representation to clients in pro se divorce matters. If you are looking to represent yourself in a family law matter, our firm can provide the guidance you need to make sure that your documents are prepared correctly, that paperwork is filed on time, and that important legal steps are being properly taken.
