Michigan Legal Help

Unfortunately, some of our Do-It-Yourself Tools (form filling tools) are having intermittent issues because of a technical problem with one of our partner organizations. If you try to create forms using one of these tools, you may get an error that prevents you from saving your answers or downloading your forms. The tools housed on MLH-Forms(link is external) are still working properly.

All of the other content on Michigan Legal Help is still available. If you have any trouble finding what you need and you are not sure if it is included in this outage, you can use LiveHelp to chat with us. For blank court forms, use this link to the Michigan Courts forms(link is external) page. Thank you for your patience. Our partner organization is doing everything they can to restore access to these tools.

Welcome

This guide can help you find resources for your Michigan legal problem. It will ask you a few questions about you, and your legal issue.

If you might qualify for free legal services, this guide will give you the contact information for your local office. If you do not qualify for free legal services, it will give you information about how to find a private lawyer.

A few things you should know before you start:

  • This guide can only help with one issue at a time - but you can use it as many times as you need.
  • You can navigate back to the Guide results by clicking on the “Return to Results” button.
  • This guide is anonymous – we will ask some questions about you, but only to help figure out which resources may be useful to you. 
  • This guide can give you resources for finding a lawyer, but it cannot give specific answers to detailed questions or connect you with a lawyer immediately.
