Best Answer

Don`t Sneeze In Court Without A Lawyer. They Know The Law And Courts. A Judge Will Hardly Give A Look At You.

ANSWER: In the United States, everybody is presumed to know the law. If you know the law and your the defendant in court sitting right next to the lawyer, why would you need him or her to represent you since you're right there. It is better to know the law and retain a lawyer for competent assistance of council.
