A new office of the State Legal Bureau has opened in Chkalovsk.

      In Chkalovsk, the 18th structural subdivision of the State Legal Bureau for the Nizhny Novgorod Region (Gosyurburo NO) has begun operations. Residents of the district can turn to this office to receive free qualified legal assistance without traveling to the regional center. The reception is conducted by state lawyers who possess the necessary authority and work experience. "The opening of an additional office in Chkalovsk is a real mechanism for increasing the legal protection of socially vulnerable categories of citizens. The state lawyers of the new office provide free oral and written consultations on family, labor, housing, pension, and social issues, help draft claims, complaints, and petitions, as well as represent citizens' interests in courts and government agencies," noted the director of the Gosyurburo of the Nizhny Novgorod Region, Maxim Fomichev. He also added that the opening of the Gosyurburo in Chkalovsk continues the federal trend towards decentralizing free legal assistance. According to the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation, in 2025, the number of appeals to regional Gosyurburo increased by 26.4%, with the main growth coming from small towns. Low-income individuals, first and second group disabled persons, unemployed pensioners, veterans of the Great Patriotic War, disabled children, orphans left without parental care, combat veterans, participants in the Special Military Operation (SMO), and their family members, as well as other categories of citizens, have the right to receive free legal assistance in accordance with federal and regional laws. To contact the Gosyurburo, a passport and a document confirming the privileged category are required. A complete list of privileged categories entitled to free legal assistance, as well as a list of necessary documents, can be found on the official website of the Gosyurburo: gosurburo.nobl.ru.

      Let us remind you that the development of state legal bureaus providing free legal assistance was supported by the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, at a cabinet meeting on May 13, 2021. The new office in Chkalovsk is located at: Lomonosova St., 59. Additional information and appointment scheduling can be done by phone: 8 (83160) 4-10-27.
