What else should I know about this guide?

One issue at a time
This guide focuses on one legal issue per session, but you can use it as many times as you need. Answer the questions as best you can. You can always go back and change your answers.

Confidential and anonymous unless you decide to send a request for contact through our website (participating organizations only)
We'll ask some personal questions solely to identify the most relevant resources for you. See our privacy policy.

Resource-focused
While this tool will help you locate legal assistance, it does not provide immediate lawyer connections or specific answers to complex legal questions.

 

Answer the questions in this guide for yourself. If you’re helping someone else, answer as if you are that person.

 

About You

Who is filling this out?
What's your zip code?

If you don't live in Wisconsin but you do have a legal issue in Wisconsin, enter 00000 for zip code and continue with this form. If you don't live in Wisconsin and your legal issue is not in Wisconsin, this form may not be the right place for you to find legal help. Try looking your location up on lawhelp.org.

Are you a US citizen?
Do any of the following apply to you?
What is your age?
How many people in your house (including you)?

The number of people in your household is the total count of everyone living at your address who helps with money for bills and expenses, like adults, plus those who rely on the adults in the home for support, like children and extended family. 

Do include: spouses and partners, children, grandchildren, extended family. 

Don't include: roommates, anyone who isn't living with you on a regular basis.

What is your household income?

Include the gross income (before taxes) of each person in your household, unless they are the opposing party (for example, in a divorce or protection order case).

We ask about income to find the best legal service options for you. Most free and low cost services we find will ask you for proof of income. Not all services use income to decide who to help.
