On April 14th, the latest Legal Self-Help Center opened in Cheboygan County!
Funded by SCAO's Self-Help Center grant program, the Legal Self-Help Center of Cheboygan County is located in the Cheboygan County Building, at 870 S. Main St., Cheboygan, MI 49721. The center is a partnership between the Cheboygan County Courts, Michigan Legal Help, and other community partners.
Visitors to the center can access high-speed internet, computers, and printers to use the Michigan Legal Help website in English (MichiganLegalHelp.org) or Spanish (AyudaLegaldeMichigan.org). The Michigan Legal Help website contains free, easy-to-understand information on common legal issues. This includes know-your-rights articles, self-led interviews that help visitors fill out court forms, and step-by-step instructions that help walk visitors through how they need to file and serve their forms, and the steps that follow. The website can also help visitors look for a lawyer in their area and connect to local community services if they need more assistance.
Visitors also have access to one-on-one help using the website over Zoom. Remote Navigators are provided through Michigan Legal Help and are available to help visitors Monday-Thursday from 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM EST and Friday from 9:00 AM – Noon EST.
