How it works (usually within a day or two)
(1) Enquirers submit the brief online form below. We can usually advise and or refer within a day or two. However, see (6) below.
(2) We advise in writing on the information provided and or refer you to a more appropriate provider who may be able to not only advise, but provide hands-on assistance.
(3) We may ask supplementary questions and then advise in writing and or refer you to a more appropriate provider who may be able to not only advise, but provide hands-on assistance.
(4) If you appear eligible for Legal Aid, we will refer you to a Legal Aid lawyer.
(5) If it appears you have a case which may be worth defending or pursuing, and your funds permit, we can introduce you to a suitably qualified and competitively priced lawyer in private practice whom we work with on a regular basis.
(6) We aim to provide the above service within 14 days at the outside, and we can usually advise and or refer within a day or two. However, this is not an emergency legal service. For that sort of service you need to go to a suitable solicitor directly ASAP.
