Duty solicitor

A duty solicitor is a lawyer who helps people who might not have their own lawyer. They are usually available for free or at a low cost, and they can help with things like talking to the police, going to court, and finding legal advice.

Imagine you're playing a game of tag with your friends. If you're "it" and someone tags you, you might feel scared or unsure of what to do next. But if you have a friend who knows all the rules and can help you feel more comfortable, it can be a lot easier.

In a way, a duty solicitor is like that helpful friend. They know a lot about the rules and laws, and they can help you understand what's happening and what your options are. They can speak up for you when you might be too nervous or scared to do it yourself, and they can make sure your rights are protected.

So if you ever need some legal help, a duty solicitor is a great person to have on your side!
