What it is

LawHelp Interactive is a free web service that turns guided answers into legal forms and documents. People can begin without an account, but registration is required to save work for later. Users can save, edit, email, and print documents, with electronic filing available in some states. Forms address child support and custody, domestic violence, debt collection, foreclosure, eviction, divorce, guardianship, simple wills, small-estate probate, and expungement. Availability depends on state and legal issue, and users may be sent to partner sites. Attorneys, volunteers, and advocates can review client answers, manage case files, and collaborate with clients. Legal aid organizations and courts can upload interviews made with HotDocs or A2J Author, and Neota Logic formats are supported. Communications and stored answer files are encrypted, alongside administrative, software, and physical safeguards. The service does not provide legal advice or referrals. Forms are not currently supported on mobile devices or tablets.
