Michigan Legal Help

Michigan Legal Help is an online resource for people who are handling their legal problems without a lawyer or are looking to navigate things and find support.

There are many Do-It-Yourself tools to help you:

  • Learn about your legal problems.
  • Get ready for court.
  • Create court forms.

Please note, this website does not give legal advice, and it is not a substitute for having a lawyer. The website does not cover all areas of law, but topics are added frequently.
