If you have been accused of a criminal matter and need Legal Aid from a Lincoln solicitor our team are ideally placed to help.
At the point you have been invited to attend a police station we would recommend that you contact a solicitor. Not doing so could have serious implications if the authorities decide to pursue matters in the future.
Our duty solicitors are available around the clock, 365 days a year, and can provide support throughout the country.
Legal Aid is government funded legal assistance that is intended to provide support to those who are unable to pay legal fees. As part of our dealings with yourself our legal team will check if you are entitled to this funding.
If you are under 16 years of age, or 18 years if you are still in full-time education, then you are automatically entitled to Legal Aid in criminal cases. If you are in receipt of certain benefits, you will also be eligible.
Our Lincoln lawyers can help with the following matters;
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
In the first instance please contact our duty solicitors for Legal Aid advice if you, or a member of your family, have been arrested and need representation.
Please call 01159 419141 and ask for a member of the Lincoln crime team.
