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

So, 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. So, 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’ll be a lot less stressful, it’ll be a lot more efficient, and there’s a whole lot more likelihood of the court granting you a hearing to decide if a multi-petition should be granted or not.
