Can an individual represent herself in a civil matter on behalf of her LLC who is being sued along with herself (who is being sued)? The suit stems from her association with another person who she entered into a hand-shake agreement with - his job being to raise funds for the business and hers to produce a product. He failed to provide the necessary paperwork to the investors and some of them filed this suit, for damages and recission. The company no longer does business. Do you have knowledge of anyone, anywhere who would provide her legal counsel at a no-cost or very, very nominal rate since she is without sufficient resources to hire an attorney

 

Optional Information:
Los Gatos, California

Already Tried:
Every legal referral service in the area, including law schools - no one is available under $10,000 and she does not have $1,000.
