Do I need an attorney to file a Marchman Act petition?

In theory, you could file a Marchman Act Petition without a lawyer, but trying to file a Marchman Act Petition without a lawyer is akin to trying to self-diagnose a medical problem. You could do it, but it’s not a very clever idea to do that, if you want to file it right. If you want to get it done correctly, the best thing to do is to use a lawyer who knows how to file a Marchman Act Petition. It will be a lot less stressful. It will be a lot more efficient, and there’s a whole lot more likelihood of the court granting you a hearing to decide if a Marchman Act Petition should be granted or not.
