Free legal advice

I really don't want to give any details here but can anyone suggest a solicitor who offers an initial free consultation for a leaseholder?  I've contacted the LAS who were not able to help!!

    I once had some free legal advice from law students at their university legal clinic. They were supervised by their tutors.

    There are sometimes legal helplines included with insurance (contents, car) policies, may be worth checking.

    And if you are in a union, they can often offer legal advice outside of employment.

    Many many do free 30mins chat ('phone a few)  But they see it as a way of getting customers.

    Free advice is often worth what you pay for it
