Default

Has your suit been certified a class action? Why would you want to file it in Washington DC?

Default You are not likely to be found suitable as class rep and counsel

Usually the class plaintiff cannot also be the class counsel, even if the plaintiff IS a licensed attorney. There's too much conflict of interest. In general though, you can represent yourself in court without a lawyer. It's not advised, but of course finances sometimes dictate our decisions. Good luck
