As legal aid contract holders we can complete an eligibility assessment and provide you with advice regarding the availability of legal aid under our contract with the Legal Aid Agency.
Non-means-tested Legal Aid is available on behalf of P in challenges brought under section 21a of the Mental Capacity Act 2005. These are cases in relation to Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards (DoLS)
In other welfare cases, eligibility for legal aid is subject to a means and merits assessment. Please contact us to discuss eligibility further. Alternatively, please refer to the Legal Aid Agency’s eligibility check at https://www.gov.uk/check-legal-aid
We offer free no obligation initial telephone consultations and where legal aid is not available a range of fixed fee and private fee / reduced fee options. Please ask us for further details.
