Answer:
Only a licensed attorney can represent a person in a legal proceeding. A person who is not a licensed attorney may be subject to a charge of unauthorized practice of law by attempting to give another legal advice. However, it is possible that the hearing officials have discretion to allow you to accompany your son for moral support.
