District Court Self-Help Resource Center

The District Court Self-Help Resource Centers provides free limited legal services for people who are not represented by an attorney and who are:

  • The person with the legal problem. We cannot help relatives or agents of the person with the legal problem or other third parties.
  • Not acting on behalf of a business or estate. We cannot help businesses, include sole proprietorships, LLCs and personal representatives.
