At Bates Wells & Braithwaite, we understand that getting legal advice can feel daunting, especially if you’re not sure what you need, or whether it will cost you just to ask a question. That’s why we offer free legal consultations once a week in Hadleigh, giving you the chance to speak to one of our experienced solicitors with no obligation.
Whether you’re dealing with family matters, Wills and probate, employment issues or something else entirely, we’re happy to help.
Where and when?
You’ll find us at Hadleigh Library once a week, offering 30-minute legal consultations. These are held:
- In the morning by appointment only – please call ahead to book your slot
- In the afternoon as a drop-in service – no booking needed, just pop in
Although you can drop in, we do recommend booking in advance where possible to avoid waiting and to make sure we have time to talk through your issue properly.
What can we help with?
During your free consultation, you can speak to a qualified solicitor about a wide range of legal topics. This includes:
- Divorce and family law
- Wills, probate and powers of attorney
- Employment advice
- Property matters
- Disputes and litigation
- Business and commercial law
We won’t rush you but we will give you a clear idea of your options, what the next steps might be, and how we could help if you decide to take things further.
Why speak to a solicitor?
We often find people delay getting legal advice because they’re worried about cost or unsure if their issue is serious enough. A free consultation is a simple way to understand your position without any pressure. And if you do decide to take the next step, you’ll already know who you’re working with.
Our solicitors in Ipswich regularly work with clients across Hadleigh and surrounding areas, so you can rest assured you’re in safe, local hands.

You can also drop in during the afternoon session but as it can get busy, we do recommend booking if you can.
