Do I need to hire an attorney?
Having an attorney represent your case in court is preferred. It is to your benefit to hire legal representation. An attorney has been educated in the Law, knows the Local Rules of Court, is very familiar with the format of required court paperwork and can professionally present your case in the courtroom. Please note that the Circuit Court staff cannot offer you any legal advice. However, should lack of funds prohibit you from having legal representation, there are sources available to you. Contact information for a few of these resources, the Memphis Bar Association and Memphis Area Legal Services, are listed on our 'Other Contacts' page on this site.
