One of the biggest decisions you’ll make in your case?

Do you represent yourself…or hire a lawyer?

It’s not as simple as most think.

Because switching between pro se and lawyer can completely change:
✔️ How your case moves;
✔️ How the court responds to you;
✔️ How the other side interacts with you;
✔️ And the outcome you’re working toward.

In this episode of Self-Represented in Family Court, Tracey Bee breaks down what really happens when you switch between having a lawyer and representing yourself and vice versa.
