Raleys Solicitors

Raleys Solicitors are delighted to offer a free legal surgery for Goldthorpe residents.

Lawyers from Raleys Solicitors will be available to advise residents on their legal queries including how to proceed in the event of an accident at home, at work or on the road, as well as how to make a will or start a compensation claim following an occupational illness. The initial consultation will be completely free of charge.

The next advice session will take place at the Dearne Enterprise Centre, Barnburgh Lane, Goldthorpe on Friday 4th June between 10am and 2pm. There is no charge for initial consultations and as this is a drop-in session there is no need to make an appointment.

Raleys Solicitors are working with the Yorkshire area NUM to offer regular one to one advice sessions to Yorkshire’s mining communities. Past and present miners, their friends, family and neighbours are all very welcome.

“These surgeries are open to all residents of the Goldthorpe community, ” said Debra Allen of Raleys Solicitors, who will be co-ordinating the sessions. “You don’t have to be an ex-miner or union member to come and speak to us. The surgeries have proved really popular and are a great opportunity for people to come along and seek advice on any kind of legal matter.”

Local NUM members can contact Joe Gaskill on 01709 881 181 for more information about the surgeries. For non-union enquiries, contact Debra Allen on 01226 603 207
