Scunthorpe Legal Aid Solicitors

Public funding has undergone several major changes in recent years, but it is still available for some people in certain situations.

Our Scunthorpe Legal Aid solicitors are here to help if you wish to apply for funding. As specialist criminal defence and bail solicitors, we have a nationwide network of lawyers dotted around the country who will be there for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

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. Legal Aid is not available to everyone and if you are eligible, it will help pay for the costs of a solicitor or barrister to represent you in court or at a tribunal.

Areas covered by Legal Aid;

• Debt
• Eviction
• Community Care issues
• Asylum and immigration
• Council tax reduction schemes
• Divorce and Family law
• Mental health
• Education and Special Educational Needs appeals
• Arrested, questioned, or charged by The Police

Our specialist legal aid lawyers will determine whether or not you qualify and provide you with legal and moral support throughout your case. We treat all our clients with respect and dignity regardless of their financial means and reason for requiring representation.

To find out if you might be entitled, contact our Scunthorpe Legal Aid solicitors today. You can speak to our team on 01159 419 141, email mail@thejohnsonpartnership.co.ukor complete the online enquiry form and we will get back to you at the first available opportunity.
