The volunteers on the panel who provide the service are all solicitors of considerable experience. Each solicitor is rostered and two solicitors are on call at all times. Whoever calls the helpline (01 284 84 84) will hear a recorded message giving the contact details of those on call.
Or if preferred you can call any of the volunteers on our panel. Callers can remain anonymous throughout.
