LEGAL ASSISTANCE CENTER

At the Legal Assistance Center, trained volunteers work alongside experienced staff to provide legal self help services to the people of Kent County. Volunteers learn about the courts, substantive law and legal procedure. Serving at the Legal Assistance Center is an ideal opportunity for college and graduate students studying law or aspiring to careers in law, social work or social justice... The Legal Assistance Center is an independent, nonprofit legal self help center. We are working to make access to justice for everyone a reality. We help people be better informed and better prepared so their voices can be heard... Today the LAC helps over 18,000 people each year with family, housing, consumer and other basic legal issues. The LAC is located in the Kent County Courthouse to make our services accessible to people using the courts, but we are independent from the court system. Our experienced staff and many trained volunteers are here to help the people of West Michigan help..
