Yes, you can represent yourself in court even if you’ve hired a lawyer. You do not need your lawyer’s permission to do so. However, you should inform the court and your lawyer formally about your decision to represent yourself.

Previous Article I got into a car accident recently, thankfully no one was hurt. The other driver, who said he was a lawyer, took down my details and now he’s threatening legal action if I don’t pay him. I’m really scared, this was my first accident and I don’t know what to do.

Next Article Dear Sir, I’m Deepak, and last year I started a computer embroidery business with a partner. After six months, the partnership dissolved, and I returned my share of the money. My partner then gave this money to someone else, who hasn’t returned it. Now, my partner is demanding the money back from me, threatening to illegally take ownership of my factory if I don’t pay. He is also harassing and stopping me from working, locking me out of my factory, causing huge losses. Please advise me on how to proceed in this situation. Thank you, Deepak
