Legal Aid

Print this page

We are committed to defending individuals using public funding wherever possible. The Legal Services Commission sets the rules on eligibility for Legal Aid, but we believe that everyone is entitled to a first class defence whoever is paying for it. We fight very hard to ensure our clients receive their full entitlement.

Legal Aid funding provides for:

Free representation at the police station
Free representation in the Magistrates Court subject to means testing
Free representation for everyone in the Crown Court with a possible contribution order at the end of the case 
  and means testing in 2010.

Rest assured, we will explore all the options with you before we begin any work on your defence. We pride ourselves on being open, frank and realistic with our clients and you will know at every stage your entitlement to Legal Aid.
