"Providing Access to Justice & Equality"

Our Free Legal Advice Rota service offers twice weekly drop-in sessions of free, independent legal advice staffed by local solicitors on a pro-bono basis. We offer legal advice on general, employment and family matters.

The drop-in sessions are held every Tuesday and Friday from 12 noon. Two qualified lawyers or experienced paralegals attend each session.

These sessions are very busy. We do not offer appointments at these sessions but ask that you arrive by 11.30am if possible to book in with our receptionist. Appointments are usually limited to 15 minutes in order to maximise the number of people our advisers can see.

On Tuesdays one solicitor provides general advice in any area of law and the other provides specialist advice on family legal matters.

On Fridays one solicitor provides general advice in any area of law and the other provides specialist advice on employment legal matters.

Many problems can be resolved immediately, but where this is not possible, clients are referred to specialist advisers and are advised about the availability of Legal Aid.

We will try to provide an interpreter for your appointment if you make a request in advance. Please see our interpreters page for more information, or contact us.
