Legal Aid Barnsley

Public funding has undergone several major changes in recent years, but it is still available for some people in certain situations. Our Barnsley Legal Aid solicitors are here to help if you wish to apply for funding.

There is no simple way to define who will and who will not be eligible. If you are under sixteen years of age you will automatically be entitled to Legal Aid. Otherwise, the amount for which you may be eligible depends on age, income and lifestyle.

Our experts will need to ask you questions relating to your income, and any benefits you may be receiving, before determining whether or not you qualify.

Many people know that Legal Aid is available if you have been accused of a crime, but it is also available for other circumstances. Some of these are outlined below;

 Asylum and immigration

 Council tax reduction schemes

 Debt

 Divorce and family law, if there has been a history of domestic violence 

 Mental health

Our specialist lawyers will determine whether or not you qualify and provide you with legal and moral support throughout your case.

To find out if you might be entitled, contact our Barnsley Legal Aid solicitors today. You can speak to our team on 01302 360 606, email mail@jpdoncaster.co.uk or complete the online enquiry form to the right and we will get back to you at the first available opportunity.
