Legal Aid Solicitors Castlefield

If you have been arrested or have a case going to court, our Castlefield Legal Aid solicitors can advise you on whether you are eligible for financial assistance with your legal costs.

Whether the allegation involves theft, fraud, a violent offence, or a driving matter, it is vital that you seek legal advice as soon as possible.

Legal Aid is not available to everyone, but if you qualify it can help cover the costs of being represented by a solicitor or barrister in court or at a tribunal. Even if your case does not go to court, Legal Aid may also assist with the costs of mediation, particularly in family matters.

If you are arrested in Castlefield and taken into police custody, or if you have been accused of a crime and are unsure where to turn, our specialist crime solicitors are available to provide immediate advice and support.

Legal Aid covers a wide range of legal issues. Even if you are eligible, you may still need to contribute towards your costs. Areas where Legal Aid may apply include:

 Criminal matters: if you have been arrested, questioned, or charged by the police

 Debt: for example, if you are at risk of losing your home

 Housing: if you are facing eviction

 Family law: including mediation during divorce

 Education: such as Special Educational Needs (SEN) appeals

 Community care: if you are concerned about the care of an elderly or disabled relative
