Legal Aid

Legal Aid is a fund that has been set up to make sure that everybody has the chance of fair representation, no matter what their financial situation might be. The application process is simple, and all that you will need to do is fill in a couple of sheets of paper. If you are one of the many people who find processes such as these quite daunting, then there is no need to worry, as we can help you with all of the application as and when you need us.

The speed of the process

Normally, this process is relatively speedy, however this can sometimes change depending on your own situation, and how complicated your finances are at the moment. If you have money coming in from more than one job, or you have other assets, the process may take longer. This doesn’t mean that you won’t get the aid that you need, though, so you should still make sure that you go through the process.

Our team can help you with every stage of your application, and this means that you will have the best chance of being accepted and getting the legal aid that you truly need.
