Burton Legal Aid Solicitors

With offices near Burton, our crime solicitors are able to provide assistance on a Legal Aid basis.

If this is your first time seeking legal help, you may not realise that certain criminal and court matters can be covered by Legal Aid. Our Burton Legal Aid solicitors are here to guide you through the process and make public funding easier to understand.

We will defend your rights if you have been arrested or accused of a crime, and ensure you receive the financial support available to you during this challenging time.

Eligibility for Legal Aid depends on your financial circumstances. It may cover all of your legal costs or just a portion. There are also specific age considerations: anyone under 16 automatically qualifies for funding in criminal cases, and this extends to under-18s who are still in full-time education.

You may be eligible for Legal Aid in the following circumstances:

 Criminal offences and related matters

 Welfare cases

 Immigration and asylum applications

 Domestic violence and child care proceedings

 If you have been arrested, cautioned, or charged by the police

 Debt issues, particularly if you are at risk of losing your home

 Family, divorce, and mediation matters

 Educational needs appeals

Under Legal Aid, you also have the right to free, independent advice from a duty solicitor at the police station.

To discuss your situation in more detail, contact our Burton Legal Aid team on 01332 370473 or complete the enquiry form on the right, and we will call you back to provide advice and guidance.
