Our services

Our lawyers provide legal advice appointments for individuals and present legal education sessions for groups.

Legal appointments

We provide advice by appointment - either face-to-face at our Henderson office or by phone. We also offer limited drop-in sessions at our community outreach clinics.

We sometimes provide free ongoing assistance to people on a case-by-case basis, depending on their needs and our capacity.

We have interpreting services available as necessary, and welcome you to bring support people. Our offices are wheelchair accessible and child-friendly.
