Who We Are

Self Help Centers can assist with filling out paperwork and understanding court processes. However, the staff at these centers do not give legal advice or provide legal representation. This is because they are open to everyone in a community and must be able to provide help to both parties in a court case. 

Self Help Centers are a great option for people who are representing themselves in court or when they aren't eligible for legal aid.
