Legal aid
Legal aid is government funding that helps individuals who cannot afford a lawyer to access legal advice and representation (legal aid is not available to businesses). Whether someone qualifies depends on their income, assets, and the type of legal issue. Legal aid is not always free and some or all of it may need to be repaid.
The Legal Aid Lawyer Finder tool is also available to find the contact details for legal aid lawyers.
