Walk-In Self-Help Center Locations

Some courts have walk-in Self-Help Centers where you can receive help in person. Before visiting a walk-in location:

Visit Help Topics. You may be able to find the information you need without coming to a Center in person.
Arrange for child care. The Self-Help Centers do not have a play area or toys for children. You and other people using the Center will need to be able to focus on legal issues without distraction.
Expect to spend some time on your legal issues, both on your own and at the Self-Help Center. You may not be able to take care of your legal problem in one visit.
