As part of our ongoing efforts to provide more choice and more affordable
services to people facing divorce or separation, we have today launched a
low cost legal helpline.
The helpline number is 0808 ANSWERS
(0808 2679377)
The service offers a consultation with a legal
advisor over the phone for a low fixed fee of £29.95.
The line
is operated by Law Express, a leading UK provider of telephone legal advice
who provide legal advice lines to the employees of John Lewis, the
Nationwide and many other leading companies.
The line is staffed
by experts in family law who all have law degrees and at least 5 years post
qualification experience as a family law solicitor. These experts no longer
practice as high street solicitors (i.e. they are non-practising) and they
now provide their expert legal advice direct to the public over the
phone.
Why is Wikivorce offering this service?
Quite
simply because there is a need for it.
The Wikivorce community
offer a tremendous amount of information, support and advice to its members
via the forums and the library.
For 90% of the questions you
might have above divorce and separation you can find the answers free on
the website.
However, there is a clear need for a service that
offers individually tailored legal advice to help you make
key decisions during your divorce or separation process.
Until
now all we have been able to do is refer people back to high street
solicitors for those aspects that require a professional legal advisor.
But as we all know that can cost from £150 to £250 per hour and you
may have to wait some days to get an appointment.
Now you have
another choice.
You are welcome to make full use of all of the
Wikivorce free resources to get a basic grounding, and then use the 0808
ANSWERS advice line for those aspects where when you really need
professional legal expertise.
I hope many of you will find this
service useful.
Kind Regards
Ian
