How to represent yourself like a lawyer in small claims court.

Here are some tips to help you represent yourself in small claims court like a lawyer. Before your court date, gather your evidence, organize your evidence logically so you can refer to it during your presentation, and show it to the judge if they ask. Arrive early, dress, professionally, and keep your presentation within the time limit. Use language that emphasizes the strengths of your case and minimizes weaknesses. Use specific examples and details to illustrate your point, and make them more compelling. Listen carefully to the other side so you can respond to their arguments. Remain respectful and professional, even if you disagree with the other side’s argument. Finally make a strong closing argument. Review your evidence, highlight the key points of your case, and address any objections the other side may have raised
