Gwangju Dong-gu Operates Free Legal Consultation Room Once a Month

Dong-gu, Gwangju Metropolitan City, announced on the 10th that it will operate a free legal consultation office once a month this year to assist residents facing various legal issues in their daily lives.

Since 2017, Dong-gu has been providing free legal consultation services to actively address the difficulties residents face in legal matters due to a lack of legal knowledge and burdensome consultation fees.

The free legal consultation officers consist of seven lawyers from the Gwangju area who possess a strong spirit of service, diverse experience, and extensive legal knowledge.

Legal consultations are available to any resident with an address or domicile in Dong-gu, and applications can be made through the Legal Audit Office.

Consultations are conducted through one-on-one face-to-face meetings with consultation lawyers in the small conference room on the basement first floor of the district office on the third Monday of every month. The scope of consultation covers a wide range of areas including administrative, civil, criminal, and family cases, as well as legal advice related to administrative dispositions, various legal interpretations, and matters related to daily life.

A Dong-gu official stated, "We will do our best to help residents who are struggling because they lack legal knowledge and do not know how to seek help to rightfully claim their rights," adding, "We will continue to expand the operation methods of free legal consultations so that residents can receive high-quality legal services."
