Free legal advice is given about 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.

In February, sessions take place on February 22 and 29 in Nõmme and Haabersti. 

City Secretary Priit Lello said free legal advice has been accessible to residents for years but has become more frequent and flexible.

"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. 

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). Services were provided in Estonian to 138 people, in Russian to 252 people, and in English to two individuals.
