Self-Help Legal Center

What This Is

The Legal Self-Help Center provides basic legal assistance for people representing themselves in court (also called “pro se” litigants). This service is for people who do not have an attorney, need help with a legal issue in Grays Harbor County or who want guidance on forms, filings, or court procedures.

We can help you understand forms, processes, and next steps but we do not represent you in court.

What You Can Do Here:

Get help with these types of cases:

  • Protection Orders
  • Guardianships (Adult & Minor)
  • Restoration of Rights
  • Vacating Criminal Records
  • Family Law (divorce, custody, parenting plans)
  • Civil Litigation (non-criminal cases)
  • Legal Financial Obligations (LFO) Interest
  • Joel’s Law (involuntary treatment petitions)

Walk-ins are welcome or call to make an appointment today!
