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.
