The provision of legal advice at Sussex Street commenced in 1982 on Thursday evenings. This was staffed by volunteer solicitors which at one time reached forty five. These free legal advice sessions ran from 4pm to 8pm on Thursday evenings. Because of the demand this quickly expanded to Monday evenings as well. At this time there was no funding for legal services and no legal advice during the day. This was the forerunner to what is now the Night Legal Service operated by Sussex Street Community Law Service Inc.

Sussex Street is extremely fortunate to have the support of many volunteer solicitors which contribute to the success of the Night Legal Service.

Free and confidential legal advice is given in 30 minute appointments on Monday and Thursday evenings. The advice covers civil and family matters including

• Divorce and separation
• Care and protection of children
• Domestic violence restraining orders
• Motor vehicle accidents
• Property damage
• Negligence
• Neighbour disputes
• Property settlements

If you require legal advice on Family or Civil law matters call and make an appointment. When you come in for your appointment bring in any letters, documents or notes about the matter.
