this just simply is not the case. and self-defended cases are strictly limited by several legal guidelines.
in fact it's a crime known as unauthorized practice of law
Black's Law Dictionary succinctly defines unauthorized practice of law by a person, typically a nonlawyer, who has not been licensed or admitted to practice law in a given jurisdiction.
