Scott Wolfe, Jr. – November 12, 2012<\/p>\n

If unpaid on a construction project\u00a0filing a mechanics lien<\/a>\u00a0is a best-practice, as mechanic liens are usually successful at getting construction debts paid. In fact, based on a survey we conducted last year, over\u00a064% of mechanic liens are paid within just 90 days<\/a>\u00a0of filing without any further legal or collection action whatsoever.<\/p>\n

What if, however, the lien isn\u2019t immediately successful? \u00a0The next step is typically a\u00a0lien foreclosure action<\/a>, whereby you move forward in court to enforce or foreclose upon the mechanics lien. We are frequently asked whether you can represent yourself in court and file the lien foreclosure action without an attorney. \u00a0The answer to this question is a bit more complicated than it first sounds.<\/p>\n

Individuals Can Represent Themselves Everywhere In Court And Can File A Mechanics Lien Foreclosure Action<\/h2>\n

Representing yourself in court is a constitutional right in most states, and is a protected right when litigating in federal court. The legal term used to describe this type of representation is \u201cPro se<\/em>,\u201d and we\u2019ve discussed it in the past on this blog under the tag:\u00a0Pro Se<\/em>\u00a0Litigant<\/a>. \u00a0Wikipedia defines a \u201cPro se<\/em>\u00a0legal representation<\/a>\u201d as:<\/p>\n

\n

\u2026advocating on one\u2019s own behalf before a court, rather than being represented by a lawyer. This may occur in any court proceeding, whether one is the defendant or plaintiff in civil cases\u2026Pro se\u00a0<\/em>is a Latin phrase meaning \u201cfor oneself\u201d or \u201con one\u2019s own behalf.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Pro se<\/em>\u00a0representation is a growing\u00a0phenomena\u00a0in the United States, with many court systems reporting that over 70% of litigation involves at least one\u00a0pro se<\/em>\u00a0litigant.<\/p>\n

Therefore, if you are an\u00a0individual<\/em>, you very likely have the right to represent yourself in court in a mechanics lien foreclosure action. You can prepare the foreclosure action yourself (or with assistance), you can file the document yourself, and you can litigate the claim yourself without needing to hire an attorney. \u00a0But\u2026<\/p>\n

You Cannot Represent Your Company In Most Jurisdictions In A Mechanics Lien Foreclosure Action<\/h2>\n

A vast majority of states have limitations on whether a company can represent itself in a court proceeding.<\/p>\n

A corporation, limited liability company or other business entity is\u00a0theoretically\u00a0considered to be a\u00a0separate\u00a0juridical person under the law, separate and distinct from its officers, members, shareholders or employees. \u00a0Therefore, an\u00a0individual\u00a0<\/em>who is affiliated with a business cannot represent the business in court, because the individual is not representing him or herself in the action\u2026he or she is representing the business. \u00a0It is illegal for any non-lawyer to represent another in a court proceeding, and when an individual represents a business \u2013 even his or her own \u2013 he or she is representing \u201canother.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are few exceptions to this rule. I have seen two exceptions granted by trial courts, and on both\u00a0occasions\u00a0it\u00a0occurred\u00a0in the state of\u00a0Louisiana<\/a>. While the trial court allowed the individual to continue representing the company, the issue was never appealed, and had it been, I think the appeals court would have been obliged to overturn the trial decision and force the company to get counsel. \u00a0The two instances in Louisiana were when: \u00a0(i) The company was small and had a single shareholder; and (ii) The company was not a business entity, but was a d\/b\/a (\u201cdoing business as\u201d) of the individual.<\/p>\n

I can certainly see where one could argue that under these two circumstances self-representation should be allowed, but I think the argument ultimately fails because even under these two scenarios the litigant will want to avail itself of the protections granted by the law separating the business (even if a closely held company) from the person.<\/p>\n

Who Is Going To Stop You From Representing Yourself?<\/h2>\n

Okay, Maverick. \u00a0What if you just file the documents and start appearing in court, you ask, who is going to stop you? \u00a0If you just decide to give a finger to the legal system and plow through representing yourself despite the\u00a0pro se<\/em>\u00a0limitation, one of three things will happen:<\/p>\n

1) \u00a0No one will ever know. \u00a0<\/strong>The first possibility is that no one will ever realize that you are representing yourself, and shouldn\u2019t. The case may settle quickly without a fight, or the other side may represent itself and not realize the limitation. Even if an attorney gets involved for your adversary, it\u2019s possible this attorney will not know about the limitation. \u00a0So, you may get away with it.<\/p>\n

2) \u00a0You\u2019ll be refused access to file your lawsuit.<\/strong>\u00a0The second possibility depends on the rigidness of standards at the court\u2019s clerks office. I\u2019ve seen this go both ways in a\u00a0single court\u00a0<\/em>jurisdiction<\/em>, meaning that it sometimes depends on the actual person you get at the clerk counter. \u00a0In a single county in\u00a0California, I\u2019ve seen a clerk steadfastly refuse to accept a lawsuit from a business trying to represent itself. \u00a0In the same county I was involved in a case against a business representing itself who not only filed the lawsuit successfully, but had acquired a default judgment!<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0You\u2019ll get your lawsuit filed, but the other party will file a motion to throw you off the case, and potentially, to strike your lawsuit as invalid.<\/strong>\u00a0While the beginning of this sounds okay (after all, the lawsuit gets filed), this is the most dangerous scenario. \u00a0If you get the lawsuit filed and a savvy attorney is hired to oppose your case, that attorney will file a motion to get you tossed off the case. \u00a0As part of the same motion, the attorney will ask that your lawsuit get tossed because it did not meet the rules for filing (it wasn\u2019t properly signed). \u00a0You could lose your lawsuit\u2019s filing date, which means, you could lose your entire claim if too much time has passed and the claim has prescribed.<\/p>\n

Beware Of Filing In Small Claims Court<\/h2>\n

Even companies can typically represent themselves in small claims courts. Nevertheless, in the mechanics lien foreclosure setting, this is usually a no-go, as mechanic liens must usually be foreclosed upon in the regular courts and not in the small claims courts. \u00a0The small claims courts, in other words, do not have\u00a0jurisdiction\u00a0over the foreclosure claims because they affect title to real property.<\/p>\n

Therefore, while you may be able to file a regular lawsuit in small claims court on behalf of your company or yourself, this may not work in the mechanics lien setting.<\/p>\n
