If you’re a lawyer do you need one?

I’m a first-time buyer looking mostly at coops and wondering about what role the buyer’s attorney plays in the closing process. From what I’ve heard, deals involve three attorneys: seller, bank, and buyer. Since I am a lawyer (albeit one with zero real estate experience), I was wondering if I could represent myself or whether it would be a foolish thing to do.
