Tallinn offers free legal advice consultations

Tallinn offers free legal advice consultations

This year, Tallinn is providing residents with free legal advice during 17 consultation days scheduled across all districts. In February, consultation days are on the 22nd, from 2 pm to 6 pm at the Nõmme District Government and on the 29th, from 9 am to 2 pm at the Haabersti District Government.

City Secretary Priit Lello explained that free legal advice has been accessible to residents for years. "The service format remains the same as before, but we've made it more flexible for those interested and increased the frequency," Lello commented.

"All residents of Tallinn are welcome to attend the consultation days, where they can receive initial legal consultation on various legal issues. Everyone deserves fair treatment and protection of their rights and interests, regardless of their financial ability to hire a lawyer or advocate," he added.

During the legal advice day, free legal advice is available on family law, inheritance law, obligations law, contract law, employment law, tax law, consumer protection, enforcement proceedings, and issues related to housing associations, as well as interactions with local governments or state agencies.

This year, specialists from the Estonian Lawyers Union – notaries, jurists, advocates, and bailiffs – will provide the legal advice. Consultations will be available in Estonian, Russian, and English. No pre-registration is required.

Last year, 392 residents of Tallinn utilized the free legal advice service. The most inquiries were about inheritance law (138), followed by obligations law (70), family law (62), and issues related to housing associations (58). Less interest was shown in property law (28), employment law (18), social law (13), enforcement proceedings (4), and commercial law (1). Services were provided in Estonian to 138 people, in Russian to 252 people, and in English to two individuals.
