Mods, KLAC will not help foreigners and this should not be a sticky. The problem with making a sticky of it is that individuals in need of legal counsel will spend time and effort contacting and trying to communicate with them, only to find out their efforts have been wasted. Perhaps it is time to rethink why it is here.
May I suggest a healtchare sticky in its place? |
Why won't KLAC help foreigners?
I would go to Seoul Bar Association on a Monday, but this really can't wait... |

I don't have the minimum 25 posts for PMing so I can't PM you Captain Corea. I need an English speaking lawyer. I'm in one of those 11th month contract termination situations. Could you PM me with the contact info?
Thanks |

| I know an English speaking lawyer. I heard that she was an English teacher and translator before the Bar. She's quite good, honest and decent with good understanding on the expats' life. I think she's specialized in family and labor law. I came to know her when my friend divorced her sucking Korean ex husband. |

This lists several places you can go:

If you aren't up for paying a couple hundred for an initial consultation then you'll mostly want to stick to the Global Centers' pro bono clinics and KLAC.
The Itaewon Global Center particularly has Nomusas (labor attorneys) for labor cases. (You don't need an attorney for most labor cases unless there's a collection problem, the attorney is often too expensive, difference is explained therein.) |

This. I have firsthand experience visiting KLAC, and despite their politeness, they proved to be unhelpful. Since I wasted my time and effort, I must second Trevor. |

From an article in the KT:
| Quote: |
The government and a group of lawyers plans to expand a free legal counseling service ― so far limited to Korean citizens ― to foreign residents from this week, officials said Sunday.
The Justice Ministry and Korea Bar Association said they would run the neighborhood lawyer service for foreigners as a trial project from Monday. The service will be launched first in 10 communities in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province with large foreign populations. This includes Daerim-dong, Gwanghee-dong and Hyehwa-dong in Seoul and Seonbu-dong in Ansan, Gyeonggi Province.
Introduced in June, the neighborhood lawyer service offers free legal counseling in remote areas. The service, available by phone, fax and online, has been limited to Korean nationals. A total of 57 lawyers will participate in the trial service, the ministry said. Before applying for the service, reservations must be made through the ministry’s call center at 1345. Twenty languages are available at the call center.
As of last year, about 12,000 foreign laborers filed petitions to reclaim overdue wages. The number of foreign nationals involved in domestic lawsuits reached 6,300 in 2013, the ministry said. |
