Hackney Community Law Centre
Fellow: Mark McDonald-Loncke
HCLC’s provides help and assistance to people in the London Borough of Hackney and surrounding areas, particularly people experiencing hardship in their daily life through lack of sufficient income to support themselves and their families. We assist people by providing information, advice, and more active legal help through casework and representation if necessary. We have an excellent expert staff team practicing all areas of social welfare law.
