Local Legal advice please

[alice]

Is there anyone local that can give reasonable legal advice?

Citizen's Advice - unless you have a lawyer friend, don't otherwise expect pro-bono work - there are many who may proffer advice (I've done it in the past) but it will be a layperson's views. If you want actual legal advice, then you need a lawyer (or, as I said, Citizen's Advice).

Citizens advice is clogged up to the eyeballs with people absolutely desperate. I’m not in that category. But thanks anyway

South Bank Uni has a free legal clinic: https://www.lsbu.ac.uk/study/study-at-lsbu/our-schools/law-and-social-sciences/study/subjects/law/legal-advice-clinic

Good luck!

There' lots of forums out there that cover this subject.

If you have the time, research the forums and other people's experiences . Sift out the obvious garbage and develop a strategy.

The internet is your friend.

very reasonable in fact half the price of our previous local one as they are seld employed so no fancy offices to run...have office in upland rd with admin andsecurity storage, specialists in all sorts- we used for Wills and LPOA, but also have solicitors specialising in conveyancing etc. Will home visit or work by phone (maybe Zoom now). 5 years ago they offered a free 15 min consult. Prices up front for standard jobs- none of this adding more dosh to bill each time a letter is written.

Do look at their website.
