You’re better off with a lawyer than without one. I used to work in a court, (not in any particular legal sense, I reset passwords).
There was always somebody who came in with that attitude and decided to represent themselves often times when they were guilty as sin. A lawyer was never going to be able to get them off a charge, but maybe they would have been able to get a reduced sentence. Representing yourself is never a good idea because you don’t actually know the law, no one does, that’s why lawyers are so expensive.
