What We Do
Who we help
We help individuals and small businesses with the legal problems of everyday life.
We have designed our services to remove the barriers that stop people getting legal help.
In particular, we provide
- Help over the telephone, by videoconference and by email
- Help outside ordinary office hours
- A low cost Legal Diagnosis service, so you don’t have to spend a lot of money to find out whether you can use the law to solve your problem
- Transparent pricing, so you know exactly what our service will cost
- Same day or next day service.
Our services are particularly useful to people who:
- Need to know where to start with using the law to solve a problem, or
- Need an affordable alternative to the traditional way of engaging a lawyer for full representation.
The problems we help with
We provide help with most personal legal problems and with many of the everyday problems of small business. If we can’t help with your problem, we will tell you this up front and won’t charge you any fee.
