Legal Self-Help

Kansas Legal Services wants to help Kansans who need legal services, but we also want to help Kansans who decide to represent themselves in court. We have put together two videos.  One video describes the best ways to get ready to go to court.  The other video tells you what to expect once you are actually in court. Please view either video, or both, and give us your feedback in one or more of the links below.

If you are using free legal forms to take care of a legal issue yourself.  Here are the rules you need to follow when filing legal documents. You have to file legal documents with the court either in person or by fax. Exception:  Small claims court does not allow you to fax a legal document to them. You have to do it in person.
