LawWorks Help for Individuals

LawWorks offers three ways to help you with your problem:

1  Free Legal Advice Clinics

If you need some initial legal advice you can visit a free legal advice clinic.  Click here to find your local clinic.

2  Settle a Dispute with a Free Mediation

If you are involved in a dispute that you would like to have settled by way of a mediation (and avoid the costs and time involved in going to court) then click here for information on how to apply.

3  Free Casework Assistance

If you need more than just initial advice from a lawyer you can apply to LawWorks for free assistance.  Click here to find out more information on the cases that can be helped and how to apply.

You may also like to look at our resources section which might provide you with some useful links.

Note: LawWorks staff are not lawyers and cannot give legal advice over the telephone.  We work with trained volunteers to deliver the help you need.

We are not able to assist with criminal, immigration/asylum and family cases.  In each case we recommend Community Legal Advice as the best starting point for further assistance.  Their helpline number is 0845 345 4 345.
