Pinellas County residents have a new
convenient option of using helpful software to complete legal forms
at home.
The Pinellas County Clerk’s Self
Help Center for affordable legal services now offers its
user-friendly software online through the clerk’s website,
http://www.pinellasclerk.org, Ken Burke, Clerk of the Circuit
Court, has announced.
Available from any computer, this remote
access to the legal forms required for filing tenant evictions,
divorce and small claims cases eliminates the need to visit the
Clerk’s Self Help Center for assistance.
By paying with a credit card, citizens may
use the software to complete small claims, landlord/tenant and
family law forms from the convenience of their home computer.
The software contains
“easy-to-follow instructions’ for completing the
paperwork.
“It walks users through filling out
forms. The user simply answers questions about their case and the
software populates the legal form by inserting the answers in the
right space,” said Burke. “Once they have completed
answering the questions, the software will generate the forms in a
neat, printable format.”
The user will have the access to their
online forms to make changes for up to seven days, after which the
forms will no longer be available to view or print. The $5 fee for
use of this specialized software, plus the cost of the applicable
packet is payable by credit card, according to Burke.
“After you conveniently complete
your forms at home, your paperwork can be filed in the
Clerk’s Office accompanied by the appropriate filing fees
listed in the instructions, Burke said.
