Advice surgeries
Our advice surgeries are an opportunity to discuss your case in detail with one of our solicitors and get more specific legal advice.

Urgent legal advice: If you need urgent advice, you should find a solicitor using the Law Society of Scotland's website.
Preparing for your appointment
Some things to consider before and during your appointment:
- Safety: find a safe, private and comfortable place to make the call.
- Technical considerations: make sure you have good telephone connection / internet signal and that your camera and microphone work correctly, if you're doing a video call.
- Documents: if there are any documents relevant to your case, make sure to have them nearby or save them on your computer in case our solicitor asks to see them.
- Emotional support: at the end of the call, we will check if you would like to speak to one of our Advocacy Workers about your situation and how it is impacting you.
- Feedback: finally, we will send you a short survey so you can tell us about your experience with us.
