Going to court without an attorney may seem intimidating or overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be, thanks to free programs offered through the Colorado Judicial Department.
Recognizing that many Coloradans represent themselves in legal matters, the department and partners are providing free legal assistance and educational sessions in 12 locations around the state during the week of Oct. 21, including in the 6th Judicial District.
The Judicial Department is committed to equipping self-represented litigants with the information and education they need to be prepared to appear before a judge and answer questions about evictions, family law, sealing a criminal case, small claims or other legal matters.
At Legal Resource Days events, volunteer lawyers and others offer free informational and educational sessions to those representing themselves.
For the 6th Judicial District (Archuleta, La Plata, and San Juan counties), in-person sessions will be held at the La Plata County Combined Courts (1060 E. 2nd Ave., Durango) on Tuesday, Oct. 22, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on topics including domestic relations cases (divorce/child custody, post-decree modifications) civil cases (FED, money, protection orders) and probate (guardianship, conservatorships, trust/estates, wills).
For more information, call (970) 385-6179.
