You're not alone in this.
Across the United States, millions of people face legal situations every year without the ability to afford an attorney. In many state courts, over 60% of civil cases involve at least one self-represented party, and in areas like family law, that number often rises to 70–80% or more.
These are not rare or unusual situations. They include everyday matters such as divorce, child custody, probate and estate issues, landlord-tenant disputes, small claims, and condo or HOA conflicts.
The reality is simple: people still need help — but not everyone can afford hundreds of dollars per hour for legal representation. As a result, many are left to navigate complex paperwork, court procedures, deadlines, and filings entirely on their own.
That's exactly why this service exists.

We provide structure, organization, and guidance for individuals handling their own legal matters.
Going pro se should not mean going alone.
Many people cannot afford traditional legal fees, but trying to handle a legal matter alone can be confusing, stressful, and overwhelming. Court forms, deadlines, filings, research, and documentation can quickly become difficult to manage without structure.
Confusing paperwork
Forms, terminology, and requirements that are hard to interpret on your own.
Unclear filing steps
Procedural sequences that are difficult to navigate without context.
Overwhelming research
Sifting through court rules, requirements, and references takes hours.
No personal guidance
Generic platforms hand you a template and leave you to figure it out alone.

About Your Pro Se Guide
Charles Skaar
Founder
Your Pro Se Guide is a service of The Skaar Group, founded by Charles Skaar.
The Skaar Group was founded by Charles Skaar, a former NYC law firm paralegal with over seven years of experience in Trusts and Estates, specializing in case organization, legal research, document preparation, and filings.
His experience gave him a practical understanding of how legal matters are structured behind the scenes. Today, Charles uses that background to help individuals who are representing themselves organize their legal matters, prepare documents, and move through the process with greater clarity.
Charles's approach is personal, structured, and practical. After helping family members through real-world legal challenges — including a divorce matter and a case involving his nephew — he became passionate about helping others who feel overwhelmed by the legal system but cannot always afford traditional legal fees.
Charles Skaar is not an attorney and does not provide legal advice or legal representation.
