NEW LEGAL ADVICE SERVICE FOR LEICESTERSHIRE
The Community Law Service (Leicester & County) is the new name for Leicester Money Advice and we have just started a new service across Leicestershire that will deliver legal advice services across five areas of law including Family and Matrimonial, Housing, Employment, Welfare Benefits and Debt.
We are delivering these services at venues across the county including Loughborough (New Springs Centre 2a Granby Street) Coalville (Agar Nook Community Centre), Hinckley (Westfield Community Centre), Barwell (SureStart Children’s Centre) and we hope to offer a further venue later in the year. Also, clients can be seen at the offices in Leicester provided they actually live in the county. Please telephone 0845 4130555 to make an appointment at any of our venues. More »
The service is funded by the Legal Services Commission and as such all clients will be assessed regarding their eligibility for legal aid.
The credit crunch and impending recession will undoubtedly touch most people’s lives in one way or another and is likely to lead to an increased number of people seeking advice services across a range of issues as a recession is not just about money. People will be incurring debts and need money advice; people may lose their jobs and seek advice on their employment rights; they may face the loss of their home due to failure to meet their payment obligations; they may need to enter the benefits system with no previous knowledge of welfare benefits and may be unsure of their entitlements; the wider implications of the recession can lead to family breakdowns, and people needing advice in this area too. We will be offering advice in all these areas of law to people across Leicestershire.
The Community Law Service has experienced solicitors and case workers.
Leicester Money Advice, the parent company for the Community Law Service (Leicester & County) was established in 1980 and has delivered debt advice in the city and county for almost 30 years.
