How We Are Different

How are we different to traditional legal practice?

We focus on the legal problems of everyday life.  We make this our focus, because we believe more people could exercise their legal rights if they could get easy access to advice, and help with taking steps themselves to solve legal problems.

We don’t specialise in an area of law.  We specialise in supporting clients to find the most efficient and cost effective solutions for every day legal problems.

We provide as much or as little help as you need, working with you to decide what work we will do to ensure you get best value for money.

We remove the barriers to getting professional assistance, because when you use our services you know exactly how much it will cost up front, and you choose the level of service you want from us.

How are we different to Legal Aid and other free legal services?

You may be able to get similar services to the ones we offer for free from Legal Aid agencies or Community Legal Centres.  We encourage you to use those services where you are eligible and where they meet your needs.

How are we different to on line legal services?

We are not just a gateway or referral service.

All of the people you speak to work for Affording Justice directly.  We recruit carefully and train comprehensively.  We supervise all work and have quality control systems in place.
