We aim to support you as appropriate to your needs. You may be looking for information to solve your query. For example you may be wanting to report repairs to your landlord or complain about an item you purchased. We have sample letters for you to use. If your situation is more complicated, we’ll complete an assessment (by phone, email, webchat or face-to-face) with suggested actions to resolve. For more complex situations/needs we’ll book an appointment with one of our trained advisers. For those requiring legal assessment in areas such as housing, employment and family matters, we can offer a one-off, 30 minute assessment with a pro-bono legal adviser.

Helping us to help you
We’re here to help and we can best do that the more information you give us about your circumstances:
- let us know if there is an important date coming up for your problem;
- bring as much paperwork with you as possible to an appointment;
If you can’t make an appointment, let us know so we can offer it to someone else at appointments@caml.org.uk ( we cannot book appointments or provide advice using appointments@caml.org.uk).
And please remember…we don’t make the law, we just advise on it so we can’t guarantee giving you an answer that you’ll like. Good advice isn’t always good news.
