Technical Problems with Some Do-It-Yourself Tools

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 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.
