Self help for Family Law is Available in Las Vegas but an Attorney is Advisable

Self help for family law in Las Vegas or Henderson is available for people who cannot afford an attorney.  People who are in Las Vegas or Henderson and are forced to resort to self help, meaning they file their own paperwork and represent themselves in family court during divorce of child custody proceedings, are still advised to consult with family attorneys to learn what their legal rights are.

Attorneys can provide privileged, confidential counseling to prospective clients and it is entirely possible that you will have to hire an attorney at some point during your family law case, for instance for a trial or an evidentiary hearing.  The Jacks Law Group charges $100 to review your matter and tell you your rights, whether you ultimately have to represent yourself or can afford a Las Vegas family lawyer.
