YOUR LITIGANT TYPE: THE FIGHTER

You bring courage to court, but anger and false bravado can sometimes cloud your strategy.
The Fighter is often driven by anger and false bravado. You likely have a strong distrust of the legal system and may express disdain for lawyers, making it unlikely you’ll seek help from opposing counsel. That’s a good thing. Your desire to fight and win is visceral, but you might not be sure how to proceed effectively. While more confident than the Appeaser, you still lack the knowledge, experience, skills, or persuasiveness needed for consistent success in court.

You’re assertive and willing to advocate for your position. You take a trial-and-error approach to litigation that, while full of mistakes, sometimes leads to victory simply through persistence and learning as you go. Judges may frown on your methods but cannot always dismiss your arguments.

You’re the group most likely to assert a “sovereign citizen” argument. Do not do it. A sovereign citizen argument will not help you and will make you look silly in court. Any bit of respect you might have gained will be gone. Instead, tone down the false bravado. Put the energy from anger into research and arguments meant to persuade. With more knowledge and less emotion, you can become a Magician.
