Legal letters are written to intimidate as much as to inform, and understanding yours takes away much of their power.

About this service

Citizens Advice Arun & Chichester provides free legal information across housing, employment, family, consumer and debt issues, and will say honestly when a problem needs a solicitor or specialist caseworker rather than general advice. Advisers can explain court and tribunal processes, help you understand a legal letter, and point you to legal aid or pro bono services where you may qualify. Getting that initial orientation early often prevents a small legal problem becoming an expensive one.

How they can help you

Explains legal positions in plain language and routes people to the right specialist service.

What to expect

An adviser will read the paperwork with you, explain what it means, and tell you which specialist or next step is appropriate.

Who it's for

Anyone in Arun facing a legal problem who does not know where to start or whether they qualify for help.
