Search Tips

Tip #1:

Put in your age, your county, and whether you think you might be "low income." You will get back more helpful information about agencies that can help you and other related information.

Tip #2:

Try using just a few key words, not an entire sentence. Put in "prescription drugs" instead of "I want to find out if I am eligible for help paying for my prescription drugs."

Tip #3:

Common words like "law" or "home" are more likely to bring back irrelevant information. Use "Protection from Abuse" rather than "Protection from Abuse Law." Very common words like "from" and "and" are ignored by the search engine.

Tip #4:

If your search doesn't give you the information you are looking for, try changing some of the words. Think about other ways to say what the problem is.

Tip #5:

If the HelpMeLaw Search Engine just doesn't help answer your question, try looking through the HelpMeLaw library, or try a national legal search engine like FindLaw.
