No, but I've never been on trial. I can say that I've dealt with people (lawyers, no less) who chose to represent themselves, and I can say that it's rarely a good idea. Litigation is often a stressful, emotional experience. It's best to have your legal interests represented by someone for whom the matter isn't personal - they'll be far more objective and rational, and will give you a better shot at winning. This goes for lawyers and non-lawyers equally. http://www.legalmatch.com/law-library/article/representing-yourself.html

I had an ex-boyfriend who was a prosecuting attorney and I sued him in small claims court and won. He was pissed, but paid as soon as he received the papers.
