Family

Get advice

If you need legal advice about a family problem, our volunteer family lawyers are here to help you.

We offer 20 minutes’ free initial legal advice for people who need support but can’t afford to pay privately. You’ll be advised by lawyers who volunteer their time to help people in our local community.

If you need advice, please get in touch using our contact form if you can.

Alternatively you can phone us on 020 8767 2777. Please note that our phone lines are very busy at the moment, and you may find it quicker to use our contact form if possible.

If you have a family problem where someone is in immediate danger, please phone the police on 999 now.
