Handle everyday legal problems in Ohio.
Hello Court helps everyday people handle everyday legal problems themselves, in plain language, without needing a lawyer for things they can do on their own. Our Ohio guides are live, starting with the most common money disputes: security deposits, unpaid wages, debt collection harassment, and consumer fraud. Each one cites the statutes it relies on.
What Hello Court does
Hello Court is a legal-information and self-help service for people who want to handle a straightforward legal matter on their own. We explain how the process works in plain language, help you understand your options, and prepare the kinds of documents people commonly need.
We are not a law firm, and we do not give legal advice about your specific situation. For matters that need a lawyer, we point you to your state's own ways to find one, and you choose. For the many everyday problems people can handle themselves, we make the path clear and far less intimidating.
Official Ohio resources
Our guides cite the statutes they rely on. These official sources are free, and they come straight from the state.
You can also read our general, plain-language explainers that apply no matter where you live.
