Can judge refuse me to have a lawyer?

I have a civil eviction case and I think there are possible discrepancies on how they went about the eviction. I have called legal aid and they said someone will review the case and they will let me know if they can help. Can the judge refuse my request to a continuance so I can get a lawyer or response from legal aid?

Traffic Lawyer Richard Simon’s Answer

It is within the judges discretion to move the case forward if the judge feels that you are just delaying the process and not actually seeking counsel. You need to prove you are seeking counsel and even then in eviction cases if they are on the fast track that might not be enough.

Ready to clean up your Missouri driving record?

We serve drivers across the entire KC metro — Jackson, Clay, Platte, Cass, and Johnson counties. You do not need to appear in court or visit the DOR in person. We handle everything remotely.

Call (816) 398-8772 or use the contact form on this page for a free consultation. We will review your full driving record, tell you exactly what can be removed, and give you a flat-fee quote before you decide anything.

If your ticket is recent and you have not yet been convicted, we may be able to fight it in court before it ever reaches your record — which is always the better outcome when that option is still available.

Driving Record Analysis

We pull your Missouri driving record and review it in detail, noting any suspended license issues, outstanding tickets, or points that may be eligible for removal. We send you a copy of the record with analysis of what is on it.

Ticket Removal & Purge

We have the original ticket set aside by the court and amended to a non-moving violation. For older tickets (3+ years), we contact the Department of Revenue and have them purged from your record.
