Michigan Legal Help

Have you faced eviction or debt collection in Michigan and got a default judgment? (This means you missed court and the judge decided the case without you.)

Were you evicted by the sheriff and never went to court?

Have you had money taken from your paycheck, bank account, or tax refund for an unpaid debt?

We want to hear about your experience to try to make the process more fair. Get a $20 gift card for a 30-minute interview. Your personal details will stay private in our reports.

Do-It-Yourself MDHHS Hearing Request

Use this tool to request a hearing from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services if your public assistance has been terminated, reduced, denied, or sanctioned, or if it's been too long and you haven't gotten a decision on your application for benefits.  This only applies to Michigan benefits that come from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. 

You will go to the LawHelp Interactive website to do this.  After you answer the questions, you may get a completed Request for Hearing form, and you may also get a print-out of helpful information about how to prepare for your hearing.
