Grand opening celebration of the Court Help Access & Information Center in Allegany County
The grand opening of the Court Help Access & Information Center in Allegany County will take place Wednesday, May 1, at the Circuit Court for Allegany County. Maryland Court Help Centers offer free civil legal help for individuals who are not represented by an attorney. Attorneys assist with services to include but not limited to name change, divorce, child custody, and child support. Although this court help center is in the circuit court, assistance for district court cases is also provided at this location. The celebration will feature a ribbon-cutting and guided tours of the new help center.
