One hour of counselling with a lawyer costs from €1500 to €6000. Lawyers are usually slightly cheaper.

With proper preparation, you can get a lot out of an hour of counselling. Preparation can consist of first contacting a free legal resource and clearly articulate what the problem is and what your objective is in contacting a lawyer.

Some examples of free legal resources in Uppsala and online can be found below.

Things to consider before contacting a legal resource

• Be realistic with what you can expect. Keep in mind that it is a free service that often has limited time to help you.
• Be prepared! When you have limited time, you need to maximise it. Formulate your questions clearly and tell us exactly what you want to know.
• Consider the competence of the person answering your question. Is it a student, lawyer, solicitor? Does the person have practical experience? This may affect how you assess the answer.
