Appeals and ongoing case support
If your case is already underway, speak to a solicitor about appeals, continued funding, and next steps under Legal Aid rules.
Clear guidance on deadlines, options, and what you may need to provide.
Support when your case is already in motion
If you are partway through a case, it can be hard to know what happens next and what options are still available. A solicitor can review where things stand, explain deadlines and appeal routes, and advise on continued Legal Aid funding where it applies.
Appeals and ongoing case decisions often involve strict time limits and specific procedures. Getting advice early can help you understand whether an appeal is realistic, what evidence is needed, and what steps you should take now.
Note: Legal Aid depends on the type of case, the stage, and eligibility rules. A solicitor will assess your situation and explain what support may be available.

Frequently asked questions
Do appeals have strict deadlines?
Often, yes. Time limits can be short and can vary depending on the type of case and the court or decision being appealed. Speak to a solicitor as early as possible if you are considering an appeal.
Can Legal Aid continue if a case changes stage?
It may do, but it depends on the case, the stage, and eligibility rules. A solicitor can explain what may apply and what information might be needed.
What should I prepare before speaking to a solicitor?
It helps to have any paperwork, court dates, outcomes, or reference numbers you have. If your case is underway, a short timeline of what has happened so far can also be useful.
