They are usually held at our offices in Community Base and your half hour slot must be pre booked. You will need to contact us with a brief description of the nature of your enquiry, we will send you a questionnaire to be completed nearer the date of your session.

We have had many appreciative comments from carers about the last set of legal advice sessions including the following:

"This solicitor was superb, clearly knowledgeable about my situation. Gave me written note about steps to take and where to go for further information. I could not have expected more. Excellent."
