Get legal advice
	Advice Guide Advice Guide gives you basic advice and information on your rights. It can provide you with a broad outline of where you stand and what you can do. Excellent as a first step in understanding your rights.
	Compact Law A very good UK based legal portal that offers free advice and information about a very wide range of different situations. The site is organised into categories within which there is a wealth of relevant and up to date information. Well worth a look.
	Law on the Web This is an excellent legal portal that provides free advice and information in a very wide range of different categories. From here you can also access a number of other very good legal sites. Law on the Web is well written, comprehensive and very useful.
	Legal Advice Free As the name implies, this site offers free legal advice and links on a wide range of different topics. The advice is usually up to date and whilst it is no substitute for personal advice from a solicitor it can be a very useful guide to where you stand.
	The Community Legal Service The CLS was set up by the government in order to try and ensure that people can get information and help about their legal rights and understand how to enforce them in the right place and at the right time. A very useful site that can be of great use.
	UK Legal A legal site that offers a wide range of links to organisations, websites and individuals who can help you with most aspects of UK law. It's not the most comprehensive site as it relies somewhat on people advertising their services but still worth a look.
