My dad has an 8th grade education from the 1940s and has represented himself in over 20 court battles/ arrests from felony trespass , cattle rustling, and attempted murder ( hate crime). He has never been convicted. I think lawyers like to think that they are the only ones who can defend a person but honestly in many cases the actual defendant is better because they know exactly what happened and can catch the other side in lies.
