Detroit Resources
Free legal representation for low-income people in housing, public benefits and community economic development matters, with a focus on tenants facing eviction in Detroit's 36th District Court.
Michigan Legal Services is a Detroit nonprofit law office that has worked for decades on the systemic causes of poverty. Today its direct services focus on representing Detroit tenants in eviction cases, along with public benefits and community economic development work.
An eviction case moves quickly and most tenants show up without a lawyer. Michigan Legal Services is one of the offices that can stand with you in the 36th District Court landlord-tenant courtrooms.
Call first to see whether your case fits; the office works by appointment. If it cannot take your case, its site points you to the Michigan Legal Help Guide to Legal Help to find another provider.
Serves low-income Detroit residents, mainly tenants facing eviction in 36th District Court; its site says cases outside that scope are ones it is likely not able to take.
