Law Library
The Augusta-Richmond County Law Library was developed to provide research and reference materials for the public, staff, and attorneys. In addition to general civil and criminal case sources, the library contains information for people who wish to represent themselves in domestic and probate legal matters. Anyone may come to the library to get legal forms or information on a variety of issues, including: state and federal law, taxes, wills, deeds, legitimation, custody, visitation, child support, annulment and divorce.
Legal Advice
The following link can be used as a tool in selecting an attorney Online Directory for Attorneys, Law Firms & Consumers | Martindale.com and Find Laws, Legal Information, and Attorneys - FindLaw.
