If you have been arrested or invited to a police interview, you may need to contact our experienced Burton Legal Aid Solicitors
We will defend your rights and check your entitlement to financial help from the Legal Aid system.
At the Johnson Partnership, our Burton solicitors are committed to getting you a fair hearing and, as we are a specialist Legal Aid firm, you might want to consider us your first port of call.
We would always advise that you have a lawyer present if you are interviewed by the police as this initial questioning can prove crucial if the case against you proceeds.
Our duty solicitors are available around the clock, throughout the year, and if you find yourself in the frightening position of being detained at the police station you can get immediate access to our criminal defence lawyers.
In order to qualify for Legal Aid, you will need to prove that you cannot afford to pay your legal costs.
In criminal cases, you are automatically entitled to Legal Aid if you are under 16 years of age. This age bracket rises to 18 if you are still in full-time education or are in receipt of certain benefits.
Our Burton team can help with the following;
If you have been arrested, cautioned or charged by the police
Debt, for example if you are at risk of losing your home
Housing – for example if you are being evicted
Family issues, mediation if you are getting a divorce
Education, if you are dealing with a Special Educational Needs appeal
Community care, if you are unhappy with the care of an elderly or disabled relative
If you or a member of your family has been arrested and need representation our Burton duty solicitors are available on 01332 370473.
