LAW firm Halsbury Chambers will host its 10th annual free legal clinic on Saturday at its office located on Village Road.

The event runs from 9am to 3pm.

Launched in 2004 as a community outreach effort to provide free legal advice and bridge the gap between the legal community and the public, the free clinics in the past have attracted hundreds of people.

“Attorneys will be available from 9am to 3pm to give free legal advice on a wide range of legal issues such as mortgages, conveyances, wills, probate, divorces, adoption, personal injury, wrongful dismissal, immigration applications, trade marks, copyright and formation of companies,” said Nerissa Greene, partner at the law firm.

“I am most pleased that the firm has continued with such a wonderful community service, even during the rough economic climate, when I think it is most needed,” said Branville McCartney, founding partner of the firm. “I have had a significant number of persons approach me over the years and told me that they benefited greatly from these free legal clinics. I would certainly encourage all persons to take advantage of the opportunity.”

People can call the law firm at 393-4551 to make an appointment to consult with an attorney at the legal clinic.
