How to Find Free Legal Advice

If you have a legal problem or question, you may want some professional advice. If you don't wish to put out any money, you can find free legal advice. The advice you receive can help you decide if you have a case that needs to be settled through the courts.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Use a law website. The Law Guru and The Law websites have legal research and attorneys online to give out free legal advice.

2. Email or call an attorney. Find an attorney's email or phone number online and pose your legal query to them. They may reply with a quick response instead of having you come in for a legal consultation.

3. Check online forums. Law forums, like the ones found on World Law Direct, allow users to discuss their legal problems with lawyers throughout the country.

4. Go in for a free consultation with a lawyer. Before a lawyer requires a retainer, they may offer a chance for you to come in at no cost to see whether or not you have a case.

5. Look through law books. Go to the library and ask the librarian to direct you to the section of law books. Look through current editions to find information on your legal problem.

Tips & Warnings

• You should always get a second opinion if you are unsure about the validity of the free legal advice that you receive.
• If you need a lawyer to represent you in a criminal matter and you can not afford one, you will be provided with representation at no cost.

He sees my son maybe two or three times a year. My father passed away a month ago, he lived for my son. I would like information on how to begin the process to legally change my son's last name to my father's and mine.

Enclose a new contract with a check that says if this check is endorsed and cashed the company is now bound by the new contract enclosed, sent to the correspondence address?
