I think I may be eligible for legal aid - what are my choices?

Legal aid for family matters, other than in connection with family mediation, is severely restricted and is only available in exceptional circumstances, for example where there is serious domestic violence or child safety concerns.

We do not operate a legal aid contract for family law through the LAA agency. If you are looking for a legal aid family solicitor and believe that you may qualify under one of the remaining exemption criteria then we would suggest that you contact Resolution http://www.resolution.org.uk/
