Your legal forms were designed by leading foreclosure defense attorneys and are designed to cover most if not all potential issues. They are sold like the Legal Zoom model. However, as a matter of law, the Legal Forms are sold as Legal Forms (i.e. “as is”] and thus almost any questions you may have would be legal questions in nature. The legal forms you have purchased are not a substitute for the legal advice of an attorney.

 

After reading your forms, we highly suggest that you (and or your attorney) review the material to ensure it conforms to your local rules of court and add specific facts that you have knowledge of that may be outside the scope of the audit but are pertinent to your case that you (and or your attorney) think is needed.

 

PRO SE Litigation is your constitutional right if you can’t afford an Attorney.

 

If you are filing Pro Se (without legal representation) you need to understand the complex nature of a legal proceeding and be able to understand line for line what you are filing, arguing, etc….and therefore we recommend that you get the help of an attorney on these matters.
