The Montana Supreme Court Self-Help Law Program
The Self-Help Law Program is an initiative of the Montana Supreme Court that helps people with non-criminal legal problems.
The Self-Help Law Program provides services without regard to how much money you earn. Our goal is to give you the information you need to understand your legal rights and responsibilities, and to help you resolve your legal problems on your own if you cannot afford an attorney or if you choose not to hire one. The Self-Help Law Program cannot give you legal advice or represent you in court. It can only provide you with legal information and direct you to resources that will help you help yourself.
