Is there any harm in going to small claims court pro se if defendant has an attorney?

On October 26, 2009 / By Real Estate Law Help / In Real-Estate-Contract-Law

I’m suing my landlord for breach of contract. I know I’m right and he knows it as well hence having an attorney in small claims court lol.

I’m pretty knowledgeable with regards to the law and the breach is plain as day.

I’m a bit intimidated at the fact that he’s bringing a real estate lawyer to small claims court… I know 100% there’s nothing she could do or so to resolve him of his negligence.

If some how I don’t get my desired judgment I could always appeal right?

So I could take my first round at small claims court as a learning experience if somehow his lawyer is like your honor statutory law 304972 states… that type of stuff.

So if you know you right and the law backs you up yet the defendant has lawyered up with a specialist do you think I need an attorney on the first go at small claims?

I’m in NJ and lawyers are allowed in small claims court. I know the second the judge even see’s he has a lawyer this should automatically imply guilt eh.
Excuse the typos**
Of course the second round I would have my own attorney.
