Free legal advice in Amsterdam North
When and where
Every Tuesday and Thursday evening, from 6.30 to 8.00 pm (closed on public holidays), in the building of the Buurtteam (neighbourhood team): Meeuwenlaan 118, 1021 JL Amsterdam. Plan your route.
You can come with or without an appointment. People with an appointment go first. The conversation is free and takes about 20 minutes. You will speak with two law students. They are not lawyers. If your problem is too complex, they can refer you to a lawyer. A lawyer may charge a fee; you decide whether you want this.
