The Allegan County Legal Assistance Center provides tools, information, and access to forms to assist self-representing individuals with their civil cases so they may be better informed and prepared for the court’s processes and procedures, thereby increasing both the patron’s access to the Allegan County Civil Courts and the efficiency of the county’s civil court system.

The Center’s services target low income individuals, those who cannot afford an attorney, to assist with their civil court cases such as divorce, child support, parenting time, custody, paternity, personal protection orders, guardianship, landlord-tenant, small claims, court-fee waivers, judgment collection, and other non-criminal matters.

The Center’s hours are Monday, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 AM to 12 Noon and from 1 PM until 5 PM. Services are available on a walk in, face-to-face basis only – No telephone assistance is available and no appointments are taken.

The Center is a grant and donation funded organization, utilizing trained volunteers overseen by a Program Navigator.  Anyone wishing to help the Center’s mission through a donation of funds or by volunteering at the Center may visit the Center’s website for more information:  www.allegancounty.org/Government/LAC
