Can I represent myself in a lawsuit?
If you’re sued individually, such as I got served against Brett Trembley, then yes, I could represent myself, you can represent yourself. I don’t recommend it, but it’s possible. But what is impossible is when you own a corporation or an LLC, and that business entity is sued, so if it’s Brett Trembley Inc, then individually, I could not represent myself, I would have to hire an attorney to represent my business. So if you walk in a court, and you even try to represent yourself, the courts just going to stop you and say, excuse me, the corporation is being sued here, corporations cannot represent themselves. You have to have legal counsel. And that’s just the way it works. There’s no getting around that. That’s true in Florida, and I’m pretty sure for all 50 states. So as an individual, yes, as a corporation, you have to have a law firm represent you.
