The term "Point-justice" brings together public bodies and private associations that organize free legal clinics to inform the public about their rights and guide them in their efforts.

The "Point-Justice" offices are held in places belonging to the various partner organizations (communal social action centers, France Services, prisons, etc.). The organization of Justice Points varies according to the territory.

Some offices are open to everyone and others are sometimes reserved for a certain type of public (young people, hospitalized persons, inmates, etc.).

You can consult lawyers free of charge in the offices.

You can also consult other legal professionals (notary, Commissioner of Justice), as well as community workers, justice conciliators, representatives of the Defender of Rights, etc.

To find the "Point-Justice" closest to your home, enter your postal code, or the name of your city, department, or region:

Many insurance contracts provide for free consultation of lawyers via the guarantee legal protection.

If the dispute requires the use of a lawyer, the contracts may provide for the reimbursement of the lawyer's fees, via the guarantee defense and appeal.

But reimbursement is limited to disputes that are related to the field covered by the insurance and the amount of reimbursement is capped.

This is particularly the case for home, car and life insurance contracts.

In the event of a dispute, check whether your insurance policies provide for the reimbursement of legal advice and the amount to which this reimbursement is capped.
