Why Representing Yourself in Court Is a Serious Risk

Imagine standing in a courtroom, facing an experienced Crown prosecutor who knows the law inside and out.

The judge knows the rules. The prosecutor knows how to build a case against you.

If you represent yourself, you’ll be the only one in the room without expert legal knowledge — and your future will be at risk.

Criminal law combines complex statutes, case law, and strict courtroom procedures.

It’s not just about telling your side of the story — it’s about knowing how to challenge evidence, protect your rights, and strategically fight for the best outcome.
