About this template
People looking for legal help are often stressed and unsure what kind of lawyer they need. This form uses everyday words, home or landlord, family or children, money or debt, and asks one question at a time so nobody faces a wall of fields.
Urgency is the first question, so an emergency can be seen and handled the same day. The person tells the story in their own words and says what they want to happen, which is often more useful than a legal category.
Contact details come last, when people have already explained their situation and are more willing to share them. Use it on a firm website, a charity page, or a community board.
Templates are a starting point, not legal or professional advice. Where a form carries consent, medical, or contractual wording, have somebody qualified review it against the rules that apply to you before you publish.
