A Whanganui law firm is offering a free legal clinic as part of the La Fiesta festival.
Dewhirst Law ran its first session on Monday and will run two more sessions - next Monday, February 27, and on Monday, March 6, both from 2pm to 5pm.
The clinic offers legal advice about employment, family, property matters and free consultation regarding wills.
Solicitor Samantha Bills said people were often overwhelmed by big legal fees and the free clinic was aimed at helping them get past that and make life a bit easier.
"Giving people that 20 minutes or half an hour can help people get the advice they need," she said.
