Gwangjin-gu 'Legal Home Doctor (Lawyer)' Free Consultation for Vulnerable Groups on Claims and Wages
The 'Legal Home Doctor' Project Enters Its 6th Year... Continuously Selected as Deployment Institution Since 2019
Ministry of Justice Lawyers Stationed at District Offices Provide Free Legal Consultations for Vulnerable Groups
Covering Debt, Wages, Compensation, and Everyday Issues... Operates by Appointment on Weekdays from 10 AM to 5 PM
Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) has been selected as an operating institution for the 'Legal Home Doctor' program for six consecutive years since 2019, continuing to provide free legal consultations for vulnerable groups.
The 'Legal Home Doctor' is a project where lawyers affiliated with the Ministry of Justice work at the district office to provide free legal services. It targets socially disadvantaged groups such as basic livelihood security recipients, multicultural families, and people with disabilities.
Consultations are conducted according to the needs of the recipients. They provide information on various aspects of daily life including claims and debts, labor relations, wages, compensation for damages, and personal rehabilitation. The program helps prevent disputes by guiding solutions, procedures, and key information related to legal issues.
Support is also available for drafting legal documents. Assistance is provided for preparing documents such as petitions for adjudication, applications for litigation support, and contracts. Additionally, on-site consultations at comprehensive social welfare centers will be conducted to enhance user convenience.
Consultations take place on weekdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Civil Welfare Building of Gwangjin-gu Office. The service operates by appointment and consultations can be conducted via phone or in person. The consultation room is separately partitioned to ensure privacy and allow comfortable inquiries.
Kim Kyung-ho, Mayor of Gwangjin-gu, stated, “The Legal Home Doctor is a system that protects socially vulnerable groups who lack ways to resolve their issues even when they need help,” and added, “We will actively support minimizing unfair damages or inconveniences.”
