ALL SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ABOUT THE LAW AND YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS SHOULD BE SUBMITTED TO LEGAL COUNSEL THROUGH THE COURTHOUSE LAWYER PROGRAM OR HIRED BY YOU AND PROVIDED WITH THE DETAILS OF YOUR SPECIFIC FACTUAL CIRCUMSTANCE.

It is important at the outset that self-represented persons recognize that they are required to follow the same rules of procedure and evidence as a party represented by a lawyer.
