Our Guide Is Designed for YOU

“How to Represent Yourself” covers in detail the steps and procedures for filing a lawsuit, otherwise known as “The Complaint” or “The Pleadings.” We understand that the legal process can be overwhelming when you don't have a legal background. We also know first-hand the hurdles and difficulties that Illegally Targeted People face. We therefore are trying to make your experience in the legal system as easy as possible.
