Represent Yourself in Court: How to Prepare & Try a Winning Case (3rd Ed)

You probably can’t afford to pay a lawyer upwards of $200 an hour to represent you in a civil lawsuit. Fortunately, with the help of this book, you don’t have to.

Written in plain English, Represent Yourself in Court breaks down the trial process into easy-to-understand steps so that you can act as your own lawyer — safely and efficiently. Veteran attorneys Bergman and Berman-Barrett tell you what to say, how to say it, even where to stand when you address the judge and jury.
