    PLEASE NOTE that we do not have the facility to receive visitors at our offices and our office staff don't have the legal training necessary to give advice.


    Please Be Patient


    Our advice services are largely staffed by volunteers, and each year we receive thousands of letters, e-mails, online queries and telephone calls. Detailed responses to written queries can take eight to ten weeks.

    We regret that we are only able to advise on matters arising in England and Wales.
