Guilford County opens legal support center at Greensboro courthouse
A new courthouse center in Greensboro gives Guilford County residents free, step-by-step help with civil filings, aimed at preventing paperwork mistakes that can stall cases.
On July 31, 2026, Guilford County partnered with the Guilford County Courthouse to open a legal support center in Greensboro, placing free civil-case help inside the building where many residents are already coming for hearings and filings.
The Guilford County Legal Support Center is designed for “legal help for civil matters in Guilford County” and offers “clear, step-by-step instructions” to help people understand the legal process. The county’s goal is not to replace a lawyer but to give residents a practical place to get directed to the right paperwork, the right desk and the right next step.
People with civil cases in Guilford County have seen matters delayed or dismissed because filings were not completed correctly. Chief District Court Judge Teresa Vincent said the point of the center is to give people a place to get “questions answered, fill out paperwork correctly, and know where to file it.”
The center can help with housing cases, custody disputes, child support matters and smaller civil fights that often turn on deadlines and forms rather than courtroom arguments. A missed signature or wrong filing location can push back an eviction hearing, slow a domestic case or force a return trip downtown.
A similar legal support center opened in High Point on July 31, 2025, at 505 E. Green Dr., Room 140. The county also already maintains a Family Justice Center page with a crisis line, 336-641-SAFE, or 336-641-7233, for people in immediate danger.
Legal Aid of North Carolina is at 122 North Elm Street, Suite 700.
