This is a guide to the legal assistance resources available in New York State, particularly Western New York and the surrounding areas.

• Under the Western New York tab, you will find links out to the WNY court help center and a list of local organizations. These links are helpful if you cannot afford an attorney. If you can afford an attorney, there is also a link to the Erie County Bar Association referral service. 

• Under the New York State tab, you will find helpful links to general legal resources, including forms and a list of common topics. 

The UB Law Library is available for use by the general public. UB's Law Reference Librarians are here to assist with legal research resources or suggestions about how to start your research. Please remember that we cannot, however, offer legal advice or conduct your research.
