This is the method to be favored according to a lawyer to obtain a legal opinion and take advantage of precious advice, all, without having to spend the slightest penny.
When you think of a lawyer, you immediately imagine an expensive meeting, reserved for those who can afford it. However, there are solutions to obtain legal advice without leaving either the bank card or the checkbook. The first is perhaps already in your papers: as Marion, expert lawyer in labor law, alias @marion_dhm_rh on social networks points out: “Often in your home insurance, you have a legal part and in certain contracts, you have the free consultation with a lawyer.”
A simple reading of your contract or a call to your insurer then makes it possible to check if this service is included. If this is not the case, you can also use consumer associations. Again, the expert advises a quick search: “You type consumer association on the internet, as well as your department and you will have full.” They are not law firms, but they answer many questions and direct for good instances.
But the most direct method to ask a lawyer to a lawyer, without paying anything, remains the legal permanence organized by bars throughout France. The lawyer is formal: “In France, we have an organization called the lawyer of lawyers. The lawyer of lawyers, remember that it is the organization that governs the profession in each city. And they organize free consultations.” She continues: “You type on Google ‘Free Nantes Bar Consultation’ for example and you will have a consultation voucher to fill out and return.” Thanks to a single click, you will therefore win a formal meeting, about thirty minutes, with a lawyer, on the theme of your choice.
There are also justice points. Marion describes them as follows: “The justice points are very often in town halls or in a room of the town hall, they are either public or private, and will inform you about your rights.” Same logic for unions: they can inform you for free. “Unions are not only paid by members so everyone can ask them the question”, she recalls. Finally, if your questions relate to labor law, the labor inspectorate holds a dedicated call number. Marion describes him as “An intelligence hotline in labor law”. In short, all these solutions offer a first light, often sufficient to unlock a situation, or at least know who turns around. These are devices that deserve to be better known!
