Are you in the Loughborough area and trying to find a legal aid solicitor? If you have never had to turn to a solicitor for help, you may not know that some crimes and court matters are covered by Legal aid. Our expert solicitors are here to make public funding easier to understand.
Our Derby Legal Aid lawyers can not only defend your rights when you have been arrested or accused of a crime but we can make sure you get the financial help you need.
There are certain situations in which individuals are eligible for legal aid. These are based on your financial circumstances and may cover all of your legal costs or only a part.
From an age perspective if you are under 16 years of age you will automatically qualify for funding in criminal cases. The age limit rises to 18 if you are still in full-time education.
You could be eligible to get legal aid for the following;
-
Crime & Criminal matters
-
Welfare cases
-
You are being harassed or are subject to discrimination
-
Immigration and asylum applications
-
Domestic violence and child care proceedings
-
If you have been arrested, cautioned or charged by the police
-
Debt matters, if you are at risk of losing your home
-
Family, divorce and mediation issues
-
If you are dealing with an Educational Needs appeal
With respect to legal aid for crime and criminal matters you have the right to free independent advice from a duty solicitor at the Police Station.
