When charged with a crime, a person has the right to counsel. However, that person can also waive their right to an attorney and proceed as their own attorney. But acting as your own attorney can be dangerous because the court will expect you to know the laws, rules, and regulations that are involved in your case. And if you make a mistake during your case, there is no one there to clean up your mess. If you have been charged with a crime, contact our law office at 816-524-4949 or www.Hoorfarlaw.com.
