Self Help Center

Every Monday & Thursday, 10am to 1pm, we are proud to help remotely host a free Self Help Center, where our Volunteer Attorneys help self-represented litigants with District and Family Court civil matters, like landlord-tenant, collections, restraining orders, divorce, and custody. Our Volunteers provide limited legal information, explain and review court forms and seek to answer as many procedural questions as possible, with fifteen minutes allotted for each litigant. Please call (808) 707-7153 when the center is open, subject to Volunteer availability. Email us with any administrative questions: MCBA@HSBA.org

Attorney Shift Sign-Up:

Our Self Help Center is only as robust as our attorneys that staff it. Please consider doing your pro bono hours with us! The shifts are only an hour long, and you’ll be helping those that truly need it. Malpractice insurance and CLE / Ethics credits are provided. Visit: https://Signup.com/go/LG2Qu3

Attorney Training:

All attorneys who wish to volunteer with us must complete the prerequisites brought to you by our partners at Legal Aid Society. It only takes a few hours, and is packed with information useful in overall legal practice! CLE and Ethics credits are available.
