Law students at Staffordshire University are offering free legal advice to the public.

Quote MessageIncreasingly people are struggling to get legal advice because of legal aid cuts, court closures and expensive court fees. To add to this, many advice agencies are also having their budgets slashed which makes the situation much worse. The people needing this advice are ordinary people dealing with every day issues such as divorce, access to children, loss of jobs and personal injury.”

Quote MessageThe debate is always, do you rush Sam back in and put him at risk? Which I think we could. I think he's available for that. Or do you try to allow him to build that resilience up, so he doesn't break down again."
