Coaching, organization systems, and plain-language education for people navigating the court system on their own — from a veteran who has walked that road, page by certified page.
I'm Surgret "Greg" Doss — an honorably discharged, service-connected disabled United States Army Veteran, a non-attorney self-help coach, and a pro se litigant in Florida's trial and appellate courts since 2011.
Through firsthand experience handling my own cases — across family court, civil litigation, administrative hearings, and appeals, including a unanimous appellate reversal won without a lawyer — I developed a deep understanding of courtroom procedures, filings, and the discipline self-representation demands. I lost plenty along the way too, and those losses taught the same lesson the wins did: the system doesn't reward passion. It rewards preparation, organization, and a command of your own record.
I believe knowledge is power, and my mission is to make sure people walking into court without an attorney don't walk in unprepared. Through coaching and education, I help self-represented individuals understand how court processes generally work, build organization systems for managing their own files, learn to find publicly available information for themselves, and prepare for the pressure of a hearing with confidence and composure. I do not provide legal representation or legal advice — I offer practical, general knowledge earned through real-world experience, so that those without attorneys are informed, organized, and ready. Let's level the playing field, the right way.
"Nothing in this chapter asks the reader to take the author's word for anything. The record speaks; the author's job is to put its pages side by side."
— From the forthcoming book
Only a licensed attorney can practice law. I am not one, and I don't pretend to be. This line protects you, and I hold it in every session, every video, and every email. If you need legal advice, you need a lawyer.
GD NAPSC provides self-help coaching and general education only. Nothing offered here is legal advice, legal document preparation, or legal representation. No attorney-client relationship is created. For advice about your specific legal matter, consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction; low-cost and free options may be available through your local bar association's lawyer referral service or legal aid.
Every offering is education and coaching about process, organization, and self-management — general skills, taught generally. Your legal decisions remain entirely yours, ideally made with a licensed attorney.
Before you spend a dollar or file a page, get an honest, private conversation about what self-representation actually demands.
Coaching on readiness — not advice on your case.
Learn the filing, labeling, and tracking system I built across years of litigation — then build your own version and run it yourself.
I teach the system. You apply it to your own materials.
General education on finding and reading publicly available information for yourself — the skill that changes everything.
General instruction only — never research performed for your case.
Standing sessions where you set your own preparation goals and I help you keep them — organization, study habits, composure, and follow-through.
Accountability partner — not co-counsel, not counsel at all.
Email or call. Tell me generally where you are — no case details needed, and no case-specific questions answered by email either.
Every engagement starts with a written agreement stating exactly what coaching is and is not — the same line drawn on this page, in ink.
Scheduled sessions, defined goals, honest feedback on your preparation and organization. You bring the discipline; I help you keep it.
I do not recommend representing yourself. I say that as someone who has done it for years. The pro se road is long, technical, and unforgiving, and the other side will almost always have a lawyer.
As always: I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO SEEK THE ASSISTANCE OF A LICENSED ATTORNEY IN YOUR STATE! If you cannot — or you've decided to walk this road anyway — then at least walk it prepared. That's what I'm here for.
The coaching is the service. The knowledge is public — on the channel, in live Zoom sessions, and in the forthcoming book, told the only honest way: through the documents themselves.
A document-driven chronicle of real pro se journeys — certified transcripts, filed papers, and published opinions, placed side by side so the record can speak for itself. Plus general skills videos for anyone learning to navigate the system.
Watch on YouTubeA Stipulation Becomes a Settlement and the chapters that follow — the paper trail of a veteran's cases, told in the courts' own documents. Nothing asks you to take the author's word for anything.

GD NAPSC DISCLAIMER!
I Can Not represent you because I am NOT an Attorney, I DO NOT practice law, and I DO NOT have a license to practice law. So, instead, I study the law and share what I learned from PERSONAL experiences. I don’t provide any information as LEGAL ADVICE on a (your) specific case; I give it as general information regarding the Law and Lawful Principles. If you need legal advice, I STRONGLY encourage you to contact a LICENSED and BAR ASSOCIATED Attorney in YOUR state and be LEGALLY advised.
