How Legal Aid eligibility works
Legal Aid is not automatic. Eligibility depends on the type of matter and the stage of the case. In many criminal matters, advice may be available at the police station stage and may continue if the case goes to court.
A solicitor will confirm what applies, what evidence is needed, and what options you have if Legal Aid does not apply.
