SELF HELP - DEALING WITH SELF REPRESENTED

By clicking on the title above, you will view an article from the Law Society of Upper Canada but it deals with some of the issues attorneys faced when the other side is self-represented: however, I feel the advice given also applies to a lawyer dealing with another attorney and to the litigants themselves. In my experience, self represented clients often appear as Landlords in Landlord/Tenant court and in District Civil Court here in Nassau County, as well as small claims court. And of course, as mentioned last week on my Facebook page, you are aware of the self-represented parties in a Suffolk County mortgage foreclosure case who were able to get the action, and the mortgage, dismissed.
