It really does depend on which CAB you go to and what your situation is. CAB has immense resources and the volunteers are often trained professionals who have great knowledge and practice in specific fields. They will be able to help you with any matters regarding legislation, such as harassment laws, disciplinary hearings, pay issues, etc).
However, if your issue is specific and has small (yet crucial) details to it (such as correspondence, verbal contract issues etc.), you might be better off with a solicitor who will be able to tell you whether or not you have a case. Sometimes a CAB office will have solicitors who have the necessary specific training volunteering for them, but if not, you might find it useful to get a free consultation with a solicitor (many of them will have a free session to assess your situation and tell you whether or not you are eligible for anything).

CAB are free, but they are very busy. You could try calling a few solicitors to see if any will give you a free 30 minute session for basic advice - many will. You could always contact your union if you have one.

Solicitor's sometimes do Free Legal Surgeries - where you can go and talk to a Solicitor free of charge, if they think you have got a valid case they will outline there charges (either hourly or a fixed fee).

The C.A.B is a good place to start. I had a problem with my Employer, the Union I am in would not entertain the problem and said I had no chance of winning my argument with regard to performance pay . The C A B, were very keen to learn of this and more than willing to help.Good luck
