Gallatin County Self-Help Law Center is a free public service program established by the Montana Supreme Court to assist individuals with civil, non-criminal legal matters. It provides essential legal information and resources to those who cannot afford an attorney or prefer to represent themselves, empowering users to navigate the legal system with greater confidence and understanding.
The program focuses on offering legal information rather than legal advice or representation, guiding users through self-help options and connecting them with relevant tools and county-specific resources. It is designed for pro se litigants, low-income individuals, and anyone seeking to better understand their legal rights and responsibilities within Montana’s civil court system.
