Demand prompts extension of Relate legal clinic

Release date: 17/7/2009

Demand for Harvey Ingram's complimentary and confidential legal clinic, hosted by Relate Leicestershire, has prompted the firm to extend its service until the end of the year.

Specialist family lawyers are available on a regular basis, at Relate's headquarters at 83 Aylestone Road, Leicester.

Organisers say they have seen a huge demand from clients for information on everything from the legal implications of divorce and separation on personal assets, finance, tax, pensions, property, inheritance and trusts, as well as broader family matters. Lawyers are available for regular 30-minute slots, between 6pm and 7.30pm, on August 10 and 24, September 7, October 12 and 26, plus November 9 and 23. Appointments are recommended given the demand.

Sonia Bachu, family lawyer, has been overseeing the initiative. She says: "The success and demand for the advice sessions at Relate comes as no surprise. Clients get first-class legal advice from some very experienced, well-informed lawyers in what is clearly a very comfortable and informal setting. Their surroundings are vital when they are being asked to consider important financial or life-changing decisions."

Relate Leicestershire centre manager Lynn Pallett says: "Relate recognises that family separation and divorce can be a stressful time for all concerned. We are very pleased that Harvey Ingram can provide a range of legal advice at this crucial time, which connects very well to the range of relationship and family support services that Relate provides."

To make an appointment, please call Relate on 0116 254 3011.
