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

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
