Legal Aid Solicitors Lincoln

If you have had to turn to a solicitor for help you may be aware that certain crimes and court matters are covered by Legal aid. Our Lincoln Legal Aid solicitors are here to make public funding easier to understand.

 

We will not only defend your rights at the point you have been arrested or accused of a crime but we can make sure you get the financial help you need during this difficult time.

 

There are certain situations in which individuals are eligible for legal aid and these are based on your financial circumstances. They may cover all of your legal costs or only a part. From an age perspective if you are under 16 years of age you will automatically qualify for funding in criminal cases. The age limit rises to 18 if you are still in full-time education.

 

You may be eligible to claim for legal aid in the following circumstances;

 

 Crime & Criminal 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 matters, specifically if you are at risk of losing your home

 Family, divorce and mediation issues

In regard to legal aid you have the right to free independent advice from a duty solicitor at the Police Station.
