Seongnam City in Gyeonggi Province is expanding the number of free legal consultation slots for citizens from 24 to 35 per month.

To this end, Seongnam City has moved the start time of the legal consultations held every Monday from 10:00 AM to 9:40 AM in the meeting room on the 6th floor of City Hall.
