Did you know CAB Napier has a FREE Saturday lawyer clinic?

Citizens Advice Bureau Napier Saturday lawyer clinic will reopen on Saturday, July 18. The clinic closed just before lockdown so we are delighted to announce that we will again open our doors on Saturday mornings for anyone who wishes to get a free 10-minute consultation from one of Napier's lawyers.

Citizens Advice Bureau is a trusted place in the community for people to access reliable, accurate information that is relevant to issues in their lives.

When clients come to CAB, volunteer advisers are able to access legal information on a whole range of subject matters to help explain where people stand with the issues they have. Our service is delivered by highly trained volunteers. Sometimes though, a lawyer is helpful to give direction on the best course of action with the options available in particular cases. The CAB lawyer clinic is collaboration between law firms in Napier and CAB who work together to provide this valued service.

Lawyers from several law firms volunteer an hour of their time every Saturday morning and even if the question isn't relevant to their area of speciality they can still give trusted advice on any legal matter. Two CAB volunteers are also available on the Saturday morning to manage the lawyer clinic and assist with any supporting information required.
