Community Legal Advice

The Community Legal Advice website offers free, confidential and independent legal advice for residents of England and Wales. 

If you are living on a low income or benefits, you may be eligible for free specialist advice from legal advisers.

Advice is available on a range of issues including:

  • benefits and tax credits;
  • debt;
  • education;
  • housing;
  • employment;
  • your rights if your marriage or civil partnership breaks down; and
  • family problems.


Help is available by calling the helpline from 9:00am to 6:30pm Monday to Friday. Outside of these hours leave a message and we will call you back the next working day.
