The Allegan County Legal Assistance Center is located in the Allegan County Courthouse. The Legal Assistance Center is staffed by navigators who can help visitors use the Michigan Legal Help website to gain information about how to represent themselves in simple civil legal matters. The Legal Assistance Center is located at 113 Chestnut Street in Allegan. Please view the information above for the center's current hours of operation.
In addition to the website, self-help center staff (called ‘navigators’) will be available to help visitors find what they need on the website, answer questions about court practices and processes, and answer simple questions about forms that are available on the website. Navigators cannot give legal advice.
