Resources for Self-Represented Parties

I created this space for anyone who might be forced to represent themselves in civil cases like I was—especially in tenant-landlord or consumer matters. While that’s the main focus, you’ll also find general resources that can help anyone trying to make sense of how the court system works. Whether you’re facing a housing issue or just need a starting point, I hope this gives you some clarity.

If you came here after watching my lesson on YouTube and want to learn more about my case or check the current status, you can click here to view it.

Disclaimer: Nothing on this page is legal advice. I’m not a lawyer. This is simply a collection of public information, tools, and personal experiences meant to help others navigate an often confusing and overwhelming system. Please consult a licensed attorney if you’re unsure about your rights or next steps.

Note for law firms: If you’re a tenant or consumer rights attorney—especially in North Carolina—and would like to be listed here, feel free to reach out. You’ll need to share your hourly rate to ensure you’re reasonably priced and confirm you have no public grievances or license penalties on record.

 If you apply for legal aid in North Carolina, the online form is quickest way as hold times to call can be over an hour.
