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.

Self-Help Center staff can help you navigate the website to find information, forms, and instructions. Self-Help Center staff can help explain legal information, but cannot give legal advice. Information given to staff will be kept private.
