Legal Aid
Legal Aid
From the outset of your case, we will discuss the availability of legal aid for you.
Representation via legal aid is free where Care Proceedings have been initiated by the local authority, if you are a parent or someone with parental responsibility.
Legal aid may be available in a range of other family law matters – subject to assessment(s) and subject to meeting certain criteria set by the Legal Aid Agency. Eligibility is dependent on a variety of important factors, most prominently both the type of case and your own financial circumstances. In some situations, legal aid does not always cover all of your cost and you may be required to pay some of the costs back or pay a financial contribution upfront.

Exceptional Case Funding
There may be cases which do not meet the necessary criteria for legal aid however, in situations whereby human rights are at risk, our team can help explore the possibility of exceptional case funding.
We have successfully obtained exceptional case funding in a number of cases which have allowed us to represent parties who might otherwise not be eligible for legal aid, and who will be severely disadvantaged without access to legal representation.
