Legal Advice

Starting with the Government online at gov.uk is a pretty safe bet for generalisms and non-specific advice, but what if you want something more specific? You could always pop along to your local Citizens Advice Bureau, where legal advisers may be able to give you the advice you need or at least point you in the right direction. The third option for free advice is to watch out for any legal clinics operating near you. Law schools often run these to give students practical experience.
