Are you in trouble? You might be looking for the best Michigan legal services. But, where to find them is a tricky question. Searching on the internet will not help either because most of the available information is mostly unreliable. This article talks about how to get hold of reputable Michigan Legal Services, their rules, and guidelines, how they should be contacted, and who should do it.
First of all, like any other organization or agency, Michigan litigation services also has several branches scattered across this big state. Henceforth, contacting them through any office other than that where you live would not serve your purpose here, especially if you’re looking for free legal advice or experienced non-attorney representation (proper representation is another term for it). So, the place where you live (or in whose jurisdiction, in any case, falls) is the best place to contact. It is also important that you find out which branch of Michigan litigation services best suits your needs. To do this, type ‘ Michigan Legal Services’ on Google with your city name or county name. For example: ‘Michigan Legal Services Dearborn Heights.’ If that doesn’t give you any results, just go to www.michiganlegalservices.org and click on your state – MI – on the map displayed there; it will open a list of all available branches of Michigan Legal Services counties. You can select either one who you think would suit your needs.
Next, check their website. Pick up the phone book and find out your nearest branch of Michigan Legal Services. After you have located your closest branch, go to its website and read about its services. You will also find information on how to contact them or who to call for certain cases or situations. If it is an agency that provides free legal representation, then you should not worry about what to say when contacting them for free non-attorney representation (proper representation) because they already know why you are calling – that’s the purpose of this article, after all!
If there is no mention of any proper or free non-attorney representation program anywhere on the site, then it means they do provide representation only. If you wish to avail of that, then you need to call their central office and ask how to go about it. If your case is scheduled for an upcoming court hearing, then the agency will ask you to mention this in your call; they will give you a list of all the documents required, and someone from their agency should come over to your location (home or office) and collect them. Then he/she will start working on your case. If the case has already been heard in court, but you wish to appeal it because of some unfairness, Michigan Legal Services might help you with that too, after collecting all necessary information from you via phone conversation or appointment at their office.
