Self-Representation is your right

The Sixth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution guarantees all defendants in U.S. courts the right to competent counsel. Whether its confidence in oneself or inability to pay thousands of dollars in retainer fees for lawyers, many Americans choose to represent themselves in both civil court proceedings. The United States Supreme Court ruled in Faretta v. California, 422 U.S. 806 (1975), that this right even extends to criminal proceedings. Most small claims courts disallow lawyers altogether, leaving inexperienced and indigent plaintiffs and petitioners no other choice but to represent themselves.

A large majority of lawsuits and other civil litigation end without anyone ever stepping foot in court, or in front of a judge. The key to self-representation is knowing all the rules and procedures to properly advance your case through a deliberately-convoluted system and towards the goal.
