Can I represent myself at the Tribunal or do I need an attorney?

You can represent yourself at the Tribunal or have an attorney or agent represent you. Only you can decide whether you need an attorney or agent to help with your case. The Tribunal can not provide you with the name of any attorney or agent, or recommend any attorney or agent to help with your case.

If you have hired an attorney or agent to represent you, the attorney or agent must sign the petition form or be identified in the authorized representative section of the petition form. If you do not have an attorney or agent, leave that section blank, and sign the completed form yourself.
