Legal Aid and Finding a pro bono lawyer

Legal Aid is available for some cases. This includes Criminal, Asylum and Domestic Violance matters.
If you do not qualify for legal aid, a solicitor may be able to take on your case as part of their pro bono work.

Pro bono work is free legal help for people who:

  • cannot afford to pay for legal services and
  • do not qualify for legal aid

Solicitors work pro bono to help make sure everyone has access to justice when they need it.

Pro bono work is voluntary and there’s no obligation to do it, although many solicitors choose to.

LawWorks

LawWorks is a charity which connects lawyers with people who cannot get legal aid. It can provide free advice on issues such as:

  • debt
  • welfare rights
  • housing matters
  • employment law
  • consumer disputes

You’ll need to make an appointment to see a lawyer at one of LawWorks’ legal advice clinics.
