Pro Se Litigant and Opposing Counsel

In a litigation matter, attorneys do not like to work with non-attorneys and even most judges don't like working with prose. But nobody said you can't represent yourself. Things happen and we have to stand up for our own rights. So congrats for taking the initiative to representing yourself as it is a daunting burdensome job. The other attorney doesn't really have to answer or attend to you unless required by the court. You should contact the court clerk office to check the status of the case. And see what is the current status of the case. And based on that information you can see where you currently stand and how to move forward. Above answer and comments to questions are for general purposes only and does not constitute legal advice or establishes an attorney-client relationship without a signed retainer. Please reach out to an attorney you are comfortable with working and discussing your case in more details. If you can not afford a private attorney, you may be eligible for a Pro Bono lawyer provided by some courts and if not, feel free to ask about our affordable payment plans.
