The Houghton County Legal Self-Help Center is located at:
The Portage Lake District Library
58 Huron St, Houghton, MI 49931
The center has library staff who are trained to help visitors use the Michigan Legal Help website. These staff members are called “navigators,” and they can help you access information about handling some kinds of legal matters without a lawyer.
Visitors also have access to navigators who are trained to help visitors find the resources they need. While Navigators cannot give legal advice, they can answer questions about court practices and processes, help visitors locate and complete the court-approved forms available on the website, and find referrals to lawyers and community service providers. Walk-ins are welcome, however the library has scheduled drop-in sessions where users can be assisted by staff from the Houghton County courts. If you need legal advice, please contact a lawyer. If you would like help finding a lawyer, please use the Guide to Legal Help.
