Is Legal Aid free?
Legal Aid is funding your legal fees upfront, without you worrying about how you can finance your lawyer. However you may have to pay those fees back or contribute to them.
Am I eligible for Legal Aid?
To find out, first you will need to show that the circumstances of your case justify Legal Aid and also that your income falls within the relevant earnings threshold.
Exceptional Case Funding
You may still be eligible for legal aid in other exceptional cases, if you can show that being refused Legal Aid would infringe your fundamental Human Rights.
