Local lawyer offering free legal advice in a coffee shop

WE’VE ALL heard the lawyer jokes, but like any profession, they are some great guys out there who know the value of giving back. One is Jonathan de Vere Tyndall. 

Mondays at Harvest Cafe in Newrybar sees Mr de Vere Tyndall and his team offering locals pro bono (free) legal advice. 
This fantastic community service of pro bono conferences is available for the next two Mondays from 10 am, on a first­come-first-served basis. 
Mr de Vere Tyndall has a team of young law students from SCU and Bond University assisting him and gaining experience as readers and researchers to speed the process. 

“I find that people respond to the informal environment of Harvest Café to deliver the free service of legal advice,” said Mr de Vere Tyndall. 
Some of the issues dealt with include help with wills, bankruptcy, drink and drive offences, immigration issues and family breakdowns. The next conference is Monday, August 1 and the last is Monday, August 8. 

Mr de Vere Tyndall is principal of Tyndall & Co Lawyers based in Federal with a new branch office in Surfers Paradise at 46 Cavill Ave.
