GovBenefits.gov will help you answer that question. Our online screening tool is free, easy-to-use, and completely confidential. We do not require your name, phone number, Social Security number, or any other information that could be used to identify you. You answer a series of questions about yourself, and then GovBenefits.gov returns a list of government benefit programs you may be eligible to receive along with information about how you can apply.

Whether it's a direct payment, a loan, insurance, training, or other services - there may be government benefit programs available to help you."

Database of FREE Legal Help
Quoted from the site: "Michigan LawHelp is a guide to free & low-cost civil legal services. What can you find here? All of the free legal aid programs, other community resources, and basic information about your legal rights."

Definitely worth checking out. We didn't check all the links, though, so beware of law offices who claim to represent you for free, but later take a big portion of a settlement or charge you extra fees. It's better to stick with government agencies.

Not an official state site, but most links appear to be government or nonprofit organization links, not private law offices. Definitely worth checking out. We didn't check all the links, though, so beware of law offices who claim to represent you for free, but later take a big portion of a settlement or charge you extra fees. It's better to stick with government agencies.
