If you would like to be represented in court by a solicitor but
cannot afford one, you may apply for legal aid by completing a
form, which can be obtained from your solicitor or from some
Citizens Advice Bureaux. Don't wait until
the day of your hearing.
Further information about legal aid can be found from the
Legal
Services Commission and from
Community Legal Advice. Community Legal Advice
is the new name for Community Legal Service Direct.
Community Legal Advice is funded by the Legal Services
Commission and delivered in partnership with independent advice
agencies and solicitors.
