Legal Clinics

WE PROVIDE FREE LEGAL ADVICE IS PROVIDED IN CONJUCTION WITH TWO SOLICITORS PRACTICES IN CORK

The Legal Clinics have been operating since 2009. Advice is provided by experienced Irish solicitors: Lillian O'Sullivan Solicitors and Kevin Hegarty Solicitors from Cork. We specialise in Irish law, at the moment we do not provide advice on Polish law, but soon we will work with a Foundation in Poland to provide legal advice in the field of Polish law.

Since 2012, the Legal Clinics have been supported by the Polish Embassy in Dublin.

Please note free legal service is a once-off advice ONLY from the fields: civil and family law. We do not provide assistance related to criminal law.

The programme of the Legal Clinics is coordinated by Ms Agnieszka Woźniak, administrator of the office of the Together Razem Centre.

Due to COVID-19 all our legal clinics have been suspended and to be re-opened later in 2022.

BOOKING IS ESSENTIAL

Registration for service

People who would like to use the service are kindly asked to contact the office by phone at

0214395588

or come in person to the office and have an initial appointment or fill out the registration form below.

Due to the great interest in advice, please do not hesitate to contact us because the appointment terms are taken very quickly. People in a difficult family or financial situation have priority in using this service

Receipt of the application

An employee of the office who receives booking through the phone will ask for some details, as it may turn out that the matter does not concern a problem related to the legal system and can be resolved by our social advisor. We ask you to describe your case during registration also so that the solicitor knows what category and area of law the problem concerns. It will help us direct you to the right solicitor. Application using the online form works similarly. NOTE: Solicitors do not deal with criminal cases.

Date of the appointment

If we decide that your case requires legal consultation, you will receive a date of the appointment and we kindly ask you to appear 10 minutes before the scheduled meeting to fill in the personal data form and to complete and sign the declaration where the rules of legal consultation are explained.

Assistance of our interpreter

During legal clinics, an INTERPRETER who assists in communication with solicitor is always present. If you do not need an interpreter and can communicate on your own, please tell us about it earlier.

Cancellation

If you cannot come, call ahead - it is very important not to block space for others who are in need of advice. NOTE:

Please be advised that if you ignore the meeting and do not appear on the appointment without informing us about it - according to our policy (Cancellation Policy) we will no longer be able to offer you another appointment free of charge.

Support us

We would like to inform you that the Legal Clinics are free of charge, however, we ask, if it is possible, for a donation to the box, which will be used for statutory activities of the organisation.
