PRESS RELEASE

INSTANT LAW UK partners with GREENWICH  CITIZENS ADVICE BUREAU to Launch a FREE video conferencing legal advice service from 13^th August 2012.

Instant Law UK is teaming up with (Greenwich Citizens Advice Bureaux Ltd) to launch Instant Law, the  interactive, online legal advice service which is being rolled out in an increasing number of libraries throughout the country.

Citizen Advice Bureau users and staff will be able to get free legal advice directly from specialist lawyers via secure video-conferencing software. The dedicated computer screen will display an easy to use menu to help customers  select the area of advice they need which will offer a range of subjects including Immigration, Employment, Landlord & Tenant and Family as well as wide range of other legal, consumer and related matters . This initial consultation is free to visitors to the library, who will be using unique, easy-to-use software and video conference call facilities developed by Instant Law UK.

Ian Dodd, Business Development Director at Instant Law UK said, “People can often find it difficult to fix a convenient appointment time to discuss their problems and some find solicitors’ premises rather intimidating. Providing this service in partnership with Greenwich Citizens Advice Bureau overcomes these problems and provides a professional advice service. We’re delighted to be partnering with Greenwich Citizens Advice has shown itself to be ground-breakingly innovative with this move and they join the other six locations we have using the system.”

(A quote From Traci Jenkins) – “This service is invaluable. These are challenging times where our local communities are facing ever increasing difficulties accessing free, quality legal advice. I am confident that this service will not only be an asset to the Greenwich Citizens Advice Bureaux, but will provide an alternative route for those in need of specialist legal advice”

Instant Law’s UK free service will be supported by on-going legal advice delivered by local lawyers so that if face-to-face meetings are required users won’t have to travel far.
