Legal Aid

Public Funding or Legal Aid is available for many types of legal work. Whether you are entitled to help with some or all of your legal costs usually depends on how much income and any savings you have.

We work closely with the Legal Services Commission and have contracts in Mental Health, Immigration and Crime.

To check if you are eligible please use the Legal Aid Calculator on the Community Legal Advice website.

For details of Criminal Legal Aid Eligibility please see the Criminal Defence Service sections of the Community Legal Services website
