The Legal Services Commission (LSC) and Wakefield Council are investing £3m over the next three years to establish the new Wakefield Community Legal Advice Service, which will open its doors on 1 October.
The service will be run by Switalskis Solicitors and Wakefield Citizens Advice Bureau. It will offer all levels of legal help, from generalist advice to representation at court on debt, housing, employment, welfare benefits, community care and family law, so that people can get all the help they need from one place.
