Legal Aid

Find Out What Our Legal Aid Service Consists Of

Despite the changes to Legal Aid that came into force on April 1st 2013, which reduced the amount of public funding for many areas of the law, we still continue to offer the services where applicable and the government will still pay all or part of your legal costs for different types of cases and legal problems, depending on your eligibility.

Unfortunately, your eligibility is determined by the legal aid agency and not us as your solicitors. For those who are not entitled to the costs being fully paid, you may be required to contribute to the costs, or repay the costs if you receive money or property from a settlement. In exceptional case funding, however, the costs may be covered by the government if certain criteria are met.

We are currently able to offer legal aid for family matters if you have been the victim of domestic abuse or your child has been assessed as at risk by the other parent. We are also able to offer legal aid on care matters.
