How Do I

Do I need an attorney to represent me in District Court?

Attorney representation is required only for companies/corporations. Individuals may choose to represent themselves. Self-representation requires that you prepare all necessary paperwork and that you know and follow the law and legal procedure.

If you decide to represent yourself, a limited number of forms are available for download or purchase from the Court. The Court may not be able to provide you all the required forms. Court staff cannot advise or assist you in filling out forms or other paperwork, and cannot provide any legal advice. For legal advice, consult a licensed New Mexico attorney.
