Legal consultation

Last Updated July 29, 2024

This is a consultation by a lawyer dispatched from the Kanagawa Bar Association. I can talk about legal issues.
However, it is only a general explanation of the law and does not resolve it here.
It is used as a reference or clue when solving a problem, and it is not possible to prepare documents such as contracts on this occasion.
※Nishi Ward doesn't currently provide legal advice over the phone. For free legal consultation in Yokohama City Hall, we also provide telephone consultation. For details, please refer to the link below.

Online consultation

As part of the digital ward office demonstration experiment conducted by Nishi Ward, we provide online legal consultation for those who are busy and unable to visit the ward office or who are difficult to visit the agency.
Please see the bottom of this page for face-to-face legal consultation.
