About U Do It Legal

At U Do It Legal, we understand that seeking or responding to a Domestic Violence Restraining Order can be a daunting and overwhelming task. We empower individuals without attorney representation to confidently represent themselves in court, avoiding expensive attorney’s fees and confusing court websites.

Note: If you can afford it, we strongly recommend seeking representation from an attorney for your legal needs.

Our Founding Story

At our sister law firm, Stearns & Ryan, Lawyers, we’ve upheld a longstanding commitment to serving a diverse clientele. Yet, we recognize a profound community need: the democratization of legal access amidst a growing unmet civil legal need commonly known as the Access to Justice (A2J) Gap.

Addressing this challenge, Managing Partner Ryan Stearns, alongside Kelly Crabtree, a certified Domestic Violence Counselor and seasoned Court Self-Help Center volunteer, envisioned a transformative solution — U Do It Legal.
