Wisconsin County Legal Resources

Introduction This directory of local county legal resources provides information about more than one hundred programs and services available to self-represented persons in Wisconsin. Some of these agencies and organizations provide free or low-cost legal services or assistance. Other programs offer mediation and services for crime victims. This directory is not exhaustive of all legal resources in the state. Each legal resource is responsible for the quality of service you may receive from it. None of the services listed by county are sponsored by or endorsed by the Wisconsin court system. This resource listing is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. On a statewide level, the Wisconsin courts maintain an online self-help law center that is designed to help self-represented persons find forms and learn about Wisconsin law and court procedures. The website highlights interactive programs for family law and small claims that guide a person through the process of filing for divorce or for a small claims action, from filing the first document to the final hearing. By answering a series of questions, this interactive site may help the person fill out necessary forms, print blank forms, or download a basic guide to divorce or small claims in a specific county in Wisconsin. The website
http://wicourts.gov/services/public/selfhelp/index.htm also provides information on how the courts work and on representing yourself in court. Additional information about legal resources is available through the Wisconsin State Law Library and the State Bar of Wisconsin. The State Law Library maintains a County Legal Resources directory on its website, at http://wilawlibrary.gov/topics/county.php The State Bar of Wisconsin provides lawyer referral information on its website, at
http://www.wisbar.org/forPublic/INeedaLawyer/Pages/i-need-a-lawyer.aspx We urge you to help us update this directory. You may provide information or changes by contacting the Office of Court Operations by email or at 608-266-3121.
