How Can I Avail Services of A Legal Aid Solicitor

Various programmes are being established across the UK to help persons who need legal assistance, obtain the services of a legal aid solicitor at reduced or no costs. To be eligible for legal aid, you need to meet definite criteria so that you can obtain legal services without the obligation to pay. Steps through which you need to go through to hire a legal aid solicitor offering free legal aid are:

  1. Locate programs that provide legal aid, best option is, check online. Check the website of the local chapter of the state's legal association, where you can find a list of legal aid solicitors who participate in the programs operating in different parts of the state.
  1. Check for lists of attorneys providing free legal aid at your local courthouse, pick one up and make some phone calls or drop by the offices listed. 
  1. Once you find the solicitors of your choice, demonstrate your need and provide your legal aid solicitor your details in the form of documentation.
  1. Fill an application form, accompanying the complete documentation.
  1. You will be interviewed after form filling is accomplished, often at least twice, from where  you will usually learn if you have been accepted into the programme or not.
