Guide to Legal Aid

Legal Aid

We can carry out family and crime work under the Legal Aid Scheme. This means that if you are in reciept of a low income or benefits, some or all of our fees will be paid by the Legal Services Commission, although if you recover or keep property as a result of your case you may have to pay some or all of your Legal Aid costs back (this is known as the Statutory Charge).

We can calculate whether you are eligible for Legal Aid at your appointment or you can use the Community Legal Advice Legal Aid eligibility calculator by using the link below:
