- MI Legal Help
- Michigan Legal Help is for people who are handling their legal problems without a lawyer. It can help you learn about your legal problems and get ready for court. There are many Do-It-Yourself tools to help you create court forms. This website does not give legal advice, and it is not a substitute for having a lawyer. If you need more help, search the website for a lawyer, community services, or a Self-Help Center nearby. The website does not cover all areas of law, but we add new topics all the time. Please tell us what you think and let us know if we helped and how we can improve this site. To learn more, try our new Guide to Legal Help or watch our User’s Guide video.
