What is LiveHelp?

LiveHelp lets you ?talk? with a trained Web site navigator, who can help you find the information you are looking for on the LawHelp.org/LA Web site.  This is also called ?chatting,? or ?instant messaging.?

How does LiveHelp work?

Click on the LiveHelp picture on your screen.

You ?talk? with the helper (?navigator?) on the other end by typing in a question.

The navigator answers by typing a response.

The navigator may also type a response with a link to a part of the LawHelp.org/LA Web site. This link may have the information you are looking for. The navigator may also type in a response with a copy of a Web page with information that may help you.

Who can use LiveHelp?  Does it cost anything?

LiveHelp is available to anyone who needs help with looking for information on LawHelp.org/LA. LiveHelp is free!

What can I ask when using LiveHelp?

You can ask the navigator questions that help you find information on the LawHelp.org/LA site. LiveHelp and its navigators cannot give legal advice.

LiveHelp does not give information about criminal law. The site has some employment law information concerning criminal records, and there is some family law information about the juvenile justice system. LiveHelp?s goal is to help people find information about civil legal issues using LawHelp. 
__________________________________________
Legal Information Service Policy

LiveHelp can only help you find information about the law and your legal rights. The LiveHelp navigator for LawHelp.org/LA on the other end cannot tell you how to solve your legal problem. The LiveHelp navigator cannot give out legal advice.

The LiveHelp person on the other end can only point you to information about common legal issues, such as divorce, parenting plans, landlord and tenant issues, and disability benefits and more. 

Do not give the LiveHelp navigator any confidential information.

You do not have any attorney-client relationship with the LiveHelp navigator. Using LiveHelp does not create any attorney-client relationship.

Someone who is on the other side of your legal problem may also contact LiveHelp for information, and LiveHelp navigators may also help that person find information on the site. 

Do I have to give LiveHelp information about me?

No. You don?t have to give LiveHelp any information about yourself. Again, you should not give out any confidential information about yourself.

There is a survey at the end of the session that you can fill out online if you want to help LiveHelp give better service.

Please read our privacy policy below for more information.
