Sellam,
You are doing yourself no favors at all by acting as your own attorney,
particularly if you are going up against an old-boys network who play
golf together every weekend.
Having been through a nasty round of litigation with a bank who failed to
follow their own documented internal procedures and let the bookkeeper for
my former business walk away with over $90,000, I have seen first-hand how
important representation is. In my case, the judge assigned to the suit
had spent his entire private career representing - you guessed it - the
bank we were suing. Since it was in the past, this wasn't a direct
conflict of interest, but it certainly was a strong indicator we were in
an uphill fight. Left to our own devices, we would have come away with
nothing. Thanks to an aggressive attorney we negotiated a $50k
settlement. Worth it in my book. Please reconsider what you are doing.
Steve
