Welcome to the Self-Help Center

The Self-Help Center was created to help you handle simple legal problems on your own—without a lawyer. Here you can find helpful information to read, hear, or watch that will help you learn more about the law or prepare to go to court. Sample letters and forms will help you with problems you may be having with a landlord or a bill collector. Online classrooms will help you make important end-of-life planning decisions and get the legal documents you decide you need.

To begin, choose a topic from the list below that resembles the problem you need to solve. If you do not find what you are looking for today—check back. We are adding more information all the time.

The Self-Help Center is not legal advice and is not a substitute for a lawyer. Providing you with information or forms does not mean we are your lawyer. If you need more help, apply online in English or Solicite ayuda en español or call the Legal Aid Line at: (888) 534-1432.
