Get in-person legal help

If you have a legal problem, you can chat to us in-person.  

Depending on your problem, we can:

  • give you legal information or legal advice
  • help you get non-legal support if you need it
  • refer you to another service if we cannot help you.  

It is free to talk to us, and you don’t need to book a time to see us in-person.

Find out how to prepare for a chat with us.
