They are independent of us
None of these organizations are connected to Marko Law. A listing is not an endorsement, not a referral arrangement, and not a promise that anyone here can help with your situation.
Details change
Services, hours, eligibility rules and phone numbers move. We review this page regularly, but contact each organization directly before you rely on what is written here.
This is not legal advice
This page is general information about where to find help in Detroit and Wayne County. It does not create an attorney-client relationship. If you are in an emergency right now, call 911.
01 · Start here
Three Detroit entry points that will send you somewhere specific, whatever the problem turns out to be.
02 · Free or reduced-cost legal help
Every one of these starts with an intake call about income, household and the kind of problem. Qualifying on income does not by itself guarantee representation.
03 · Civil rights and police accountability
A complaint to one of these offices creates a paper trail. Agency filing windows are shorter than the deadline for a lawsuit, so the clock is a reason to move early.
04 · Employment, wages and workplace rights
Federal and state offices in Detroit that take workplace complaints, plus the city's job center. Most charges must be filed within months, not years.
05 · After a crash: reports, claims and records
Where to get the police report, your medical records and the forms for a claim against the city. Ask for everything in writing and keep copies.
06 · Courts and self-help
Court staff can explain procedure and hand you public forms. They cannot advise you on your own case, and nobody there is allowed to say whether you will win.
07 · Nursing home, elder abuse and vulnerable adults
Financial exploitation counts, and so does care that has quietly stopped. You do not have to be a relative to report it.
For an immediate emergency, call 911 first.
08 · Domestic violence, sexual assault and family safety
All of these are confidential, and none require you to have decided anything yet. If a call is not safe, several take text or chat instead.
For an immediate emergency, call 911 first.
09 · Crisis, shelter and victim support
Free, confidential and answered at any hour unless a listing says otherwise.
For an immediate emergency, call 911 first.
10 · Immigrants and newcomers
Nonprofit immigration lawyers and community organizations that work in Spanish, Arabic and other languages. Capacity is limited, so call early.
