For your constituents
Community Legal Advice
Community Legal Advice (CLA) is a service that provides free, confidential and independent legal advice to people eligible for legal aid.
The service is available on the website, by telephone and through digital television.
To find an adviser in your area, visit the CLA website and enter your postcode. Or call the helpline on 0845 345 4345.
Calls cost no more than 4p per minute from a BT landline but calls from mobiles are usually more. Advisers can call you back if you're worried about the cost.
