Description
A. Divorcelawinfo.com is a project of MyLawyer.com, Inc. MyLawyer.com offers state-specific interactive legal documents and legal tools, enabling citizens to access the law without incurring the high cost of legal fees. MyLawyer.com is an organization consisting of lawyers with computer skills, paralegals, web marketing specialists, legal researchers, and computer professionals.
The founder and President of MyLawyer.com, Inc. is Richard S. Granat. He was previously the President and Dean of the Philadelphia Institute for Paralegal Training, the nation's first paralegal training school. Richard has been a member of the Maryland and District of Columbia Bar for over thirty years, and is the author of "How to Do Your Own Divorce in DC, Maryland, and Virginia," and "How to Do Your Divorce in Maryland" (1998). Richard is a member of the American Bar Association, the Maryland State Bar Association, and the District of Columbia Bar Association. Richard Granat believes that there are too many lawyers in the United States, and unlike normal business markets this increase in the number of providers has resulted in an increase in legal fees, rather than a decline in legal fees. Richard is committed to the idea that there are many routine legal tasks that can be undertaken without the full participation of an attorney and that information technology can make the law accessible and understandable to the general public. These beliefs are grounded in empirical research that has been ignored by the majority of the practicing bar.
A. We believe that with accurate and complete legal information a person of reasonable intelligence and education can represent themselves in a wide variety of routine and uncontested family law, and other legal matters. This assumption is based on fact. In an evaluation study undertaken by the University of Maryland School of Law of a sample drawn from over 10,000 pro se litigants in family matters in Maryland Courts, seventy-four (74%) of the reported that they were satisfied with the result and would represent themselves again. Fifty-four (54%) percent reported that they decided to represent themselves because they thought a lawyer would be too expensive, and an additional eighteen (18%) reported that they represented themselves because they did not think that the problem was sufficiently complicated that a lawyer's services were required. These research findings are supported by similar research in other jurisdictions which are collected at the Pro Se Law Center. There are situations when you should not represent yourself and you should seek the assistance of counsel. These situations include where you have substantial assets; where you and your spouse cannot reach agreement on custody, visitation, or child support issues; and where your spouse is uncooperative or has been abusive. On the other hand if your dispute is uncontested, securing a legal result is only a matter of filing the correct legal documents in the correct order. If you can follow instructions, you can represent yourself as a pro se litigant -- you don't have to have three years of law school.
