Residents can seek freelegal advice at clinic

Verisona Law, based in London Road, and Larcomes LLP, from St George’s Walk, will conducted a clinic in St George’s Church Hall on Thursday, February 25 from 2pm-4pm.

No appointment is necessary as advice will be given on a first-come, first-served basis.

The legal drop-in was the idea of St George’s Church press officer, Chris Gadd, himself a solicitor. ‘The ability of people to be able to access legal advice has taken a battering by the decisions of this and the last government.

‘I also think that sometimes people can feel intimidated at the prospect of going to a solicitor’s office so I hope that running the clinic in a non-formal setting like the church hall will encourage people to come and speak to our professionals.’
