So the OP said that he was able to file many of the documents himself. From that I infer that he was not able to file all of the required documents himself. That means when he hires a lawyer to handle the court procedures and documents that he could not do by himself, the lawyer may charge more to review the documents the OP filed to make sure that they were properly executed and filed with the court, than if the lawyer had filed those documents him/herself at the onset.

It's not a question of money, it's a question of honesty.

It's a matter of finding a lawyer who is going to take on the aspects of your case(s) that you cannot do by yourself in a Thai Court and have to rely on the fact that everything previously filed was done properly such that down the road the lawyer doesn't find him/herself in an untenable position do to your unfamiliarity with the Thai legal system.

There is an office and before one can file papers the staff go over it to make sure all is up to snuff.

If it's wrong then they help one do it again.

The judge also wont accept anything poorly writen and will send back papers until they are writing well.

Fine. I'll just leave it at this: Just because the Court accepts the document doesn't mean that down the road a lawyer upon taking the case won't say that I wish you hadn't done it that way.

There used to be a sign hanging in the American Car mechanic shops:

Labor:

$10 per hour

$20 per hour if you watch

$30 per hour if you've already worked on it yourself.

Did you read my original post to know what I'm talking about? It doesn't seem so.

Sure. Your wife screwed you and several lawyers have screwed you and now you decided you're better off doing at least part of yourself and hoping that you won't do something that will in itself invalidate any warrants or your entire case.
