Legal Aid may be available in exceptional family law cases, including child protection, child abduction, domestic abuse cases, and for children involved in family court proceedings. Eligibility also depends on a means test assessing income and capital.

We’re one of the few firms with a Legal Aid Agency contract and can help guide you through the process.

If you fail to provide driver details when required to do so the court will impose 6 penalty points and can consider a disqualification from driving. It is viewed as more serious than the offence that is being investigated i.e. speeding, as it is seen as an attempt to thwart the court process.

Our lawyers have extensive experience in defending these cases. The procedure in these cases needs to be considered carefully. Failure to follow the right procedure can result in the case against you failing.

If you are arrested on suspicion of committing a criminal offence and as a result of a personal search or a search of property, your cash (in the form of coins or bank notes) is seized by the Police, this cash can be subject to forfeiture.

The Police can hold the cash for 48 hours before applying to a magistrates court for an extension of time. The magistrates must justify a decision to extend, but it is ultimately for the person whose cash it is, to prove that it has come from a legitimate source.

Our lawyers are experienced in dealing with such applications before the magistrates court and will fight, on your behalf, for the return of any cash seized.

Having a solicitor present at your police station interview can make a significant positive difference to the eventual outcome of your case. If you attend alone, you will be interviewed without any prior knowledge of what evidence there is against you.

One of the key benefits of being legally represented is that we can obtain the evidence before your interview, discuss its strengths and weaknesses with you and advise you in relation to the legal implications of your account before you decide whether or not to give it to the police.

If your case falls within a category that remains in scope for Legal Aid, it will also be necessary for you to pass a means test. This test will consider both your income and capital.

We are one of very few firms that continue to hold a contract with the Legal Aid Agency and can guide you through the eligibility process.
