Are you representing yourself in a county court of England and Wales… or plan to? Civil proceedings are more often than not like an aerial dogfight, for which you had no training. Your opponent may fire ammunition you didn’t know existed and get the help you cannot afford. Is it like riding a bike? No. If it was easy, lawyers wouldn’t exist. To put the odds of winning in your favour you need guidance from someone who can navigate the rarefied atmosphere and teach you controls.
