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.

| Description of Services | Self-help center attorneys provide general legal assistance and procedural instruction. They do not represent people in their court proceedings. Self-help center staff may not provide assistance on any issue on which a litigant is actively represented by an attorney. Some cases may not be suitable for self-representation because of the complexity of the law or facts involved. Legal services provided by the self-help center are not intended to give one side of a case an advantage over the other, and no attorney-client relationship exists between attorneys providing services at the self-help center and a litigant using the center. The absence of an attorney-client relationship means that communications between the litigant and the self-help center attorneys, staff, or volunteers are not privileged. Self-help center staff and attorneys may provide services to any party to an action. A court self-help center may not create documents for litigants that require strategic decision-making on behalf of litigants by self-help center staff or are designed to promote one side of a case over the other. |
