Anyone know where I can get free legal advice?
|
I'm about to made redundant but feel that I've been discriminated against. I have some evidence to back up my beliefs, but wondered if anyone knew of anywhere I could get some free legal advice as to whether it is worth pursuing my claims.
Thanks for any help. I'll be on all day so will pick a winner later!

As previously suggested Citizens advice bureau. Alternatively ACAS provide a free employment law helpline on 08457 47 47 47.
You may have legal expense insurance as part of a home insurance policy or car insurance policy that can help – most offer a legal helpline that you can phone for free initial advice.
If you are a member of a trade union they may be able to assist.
Check your local telephone directory to see if you have a local employment law centre that can assist.
Otherwise most solicitors will offer a free initial appointment to assess your case - ring the law society on 0207 242 1222 for details of solicitors in your local area. |

you get good service from www.lawanswers.co.uk - well I have had good advice from them in the past, its free and fast.
Having been made redundant myself I can also tell you that most lawyers give the first half hour free and they will tell you if there is a case, best go to a good firm as tey wont be likely to give you false hopes just to get your money
finally a lot of home insurance policies have a certain amount of legal cover and even a legal helpline that could help.
hope one of those helps |

Yep go to the citizens advice bureau. It's free and they are all volunteer solicitors so they know what they are talking about. |

If you belong to a Trade Union or any professional body they are likely to have something too. |

you can go to citizens advice... or, most solicitors do a free advice thing... you fill a form in and ask away... put legal advice into search engine and find one local to you..
but dont forget to ask them if they represent your company.. you need to find one who dos'nt have an interest in the co' you are about to go against.. |

As has been suggested alrady, a good place to start is the Citizens Advice Bureau. The advisors are NOT all trained solicitors however, but they should be able to give you an indication of whether you have a case or not and put you in touch with solicitors who may be able to help.
If you do have a case but can't afford the legal fees, CAB can put you in touch with solicitors who do pro bono work. Alternatively, most solicitors will give you half an hour to an hour of their time for free to establish if you have a case and if it's worth their while as well as yours. Phone some solicitors in your region who specialise in employment law. |

Seeking legal advice over the Internet is NOT a good idea! |

There are two obvious and quick sources of assistance. For information, you could start off with ACAS (first link below).
If you need something more specific and involved that would require legal aid, have a look at the CLS website (second and third links) |
