  Ep. 160 - The Fatal Pitfall of "Pro Se" Corporate Defense

  Sep 1, 202629 min

  Think you can save a few bucks by writing a quick, polite letter to the judge to explain your side of a business lawsuit? In Florida, trying to represent your own LLC or Corporation in a civil dispute over $8,000 is a fast track to disaster. Under state law, a business entity is legally a separate "person" and must be represented by a licensed attorney. In this episode, Rich Sierra breaks down the "Pro Se" trap, explaining how informal letters to the court are routinely stricken by judges, how DIY responses accidentally waive your best defenses, and how a capably handled lawsuit can save you tens of thousands of dollars.  How to Contact Rich Sierra:                                                                                                                                                            Email: Rich@RichSierra.com Phone: 866-842-5202 Website: https://www.FloridaSmallBusinessLegalCenter.com Book: Business SOS!
