Legal Aid Information
Funnell and Perring Solicitors hold Legal Aid Franchises in both Family Law and Criminal Law.
This means that we are authorised by the Community Legal Service to offer legal representation and assistance at public expense, for divorce, children and family financial matters, as well as criminal representation.
To establish whether or not you qualify for Legal Aid, a calculation is made by reference to your income and available assets, making allowances for any dependant children, your housing costs and any maintenance payments that you are making.
For general advice on a range of legal issues and a list of local Legal Aid providers the following link is to the Governments Community Legal Advice Website from which you will be able to see who is able to help you with what in your area: http://www.communitylegaladvice.org.uk/
If you wish to check whether you are likely to qualify for Legal Aid, the Community Legal Services website provide an on-line eligibility calculator which you can access via the above link.
