Free Legal Advice Centre (FLAC)

Free legal advise service offered on a forthnightly basis by appointment.

FLAC is a confidential legal advise service, free of charge and targeted at those who cannot afford their own representation.

There are no application forms and you just make an appointment with Tullamore CIC.

Qualified lawyers who volunteer their expertise and time operate the centres.  In Offaly, eight solicitors have volunteered their time and goodwill to run a FLAC centre in Tullamore CIC and the service is offered every second Thursday.

A person has to make an appointment to see the Solicitor and service is targeted at people who really need legal advice and who do not have their own representation.  The Solicitor will not represent the client but will give them some much-needed legal advice. 

The Volunteer Solicitors are as follows:
