Small claims are often used to get compensation or your money back if something’s gone wrong.
Small claims are for simple cases that don’t involve complicated issues or large amounts of money (usually less than £10,000).
We can provide free initial advice to help you understand your rights about small claims and the steps you can take next. You’ll be advised by lawyers who volunteer their time to help people in our local community.
If you need advice, please get in touch using our contact form if you can.
Alternatively you can phone us on 020 8767 2777. Please note that our phone lines are very busy at the moment, and you may find it quicker to use our contact form if possible.
