Why Homeowners Shouldn't Play Amateur Lawyer

``This type of Pro Se litigant begs me to ask the question of the homeowner and I do, "If you haven't made a monthly mortgage payment of $1000 for over a year and can't afford a lawyer, what are you doing with your money?" ... The Dalpes actually had a good argument for foreclosure fraud and would had probably been able to keep their home except they decided to play amateur lawyer and listened to people who didn't know what they were doing. Now their case is FUBARed and any chance they had to retain or reclaim the house has been extinguished.''
