Legal Aid Uttoxeter

Are you in the Uttoxeter area and are trying to find a legal aid solicitor?

If you have not previously had to turn to a solicitor for help you may not know that certain crimes and court matters are covered by Legal aid. At the Johnson Partnership we are here to provide support and will advise you whether you are eligible for public funding.

Our Uttoxeter Legal Aid lawyers will not only defend your rights, when you have been arrested or accused of a crime, but they will endeavour to get you financial help.

There are certain situations in which individuals are eligible for legal aid and these are based on your financial circumstances. They 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.

To discuss matters in further detail please contact our Uttoxeter Legal Aid team on 01332 370473 or complete the Enquiry form on the right and we'll call you back to discuss your situation.
