Do I qualify for Legal Aid ?

In many cases legal aid is available to cover your legal advice at the police station, representation at the Magistrates’ Court and in the Crown Court. We will be able to advise you at an initial interview whether legal aid is available for your case or, if it is not, we can provide you with a fixed fee or estimate so that you will be fully aware of the costs involved.

If you think you qualify for legal aid, please bring evidence of any benefits, income or capital which you may have, to enable us to proceed with your matters as soon as possible.

Our reviews

I could not have wished for better legal representation that was provided for me by Katie and her team. You are all first class, consummate professionals. Special mention to Shelley, Clare and Leanne also. Keep up your fantastic work. You should all be proud of yourselves! Special thank you to Lloyd also. Lloyd has dealt with me on a previous case, so I was immensely relieved to have him with me at the start of this case. Thanks also to Chris.

Had an initial call with Justin after completing the web form. First chat was good, had a clear understanding of my issue and was clear on options going forward. Once the court date arrives Justin went over the details and was well presented and got a very good outcome, better than expected. Can only recommend and day good things for the service I had in my case.

Chris Hogg and his assistant Clare were totally brilliant. They updated me and really worked with me to get things moving. They were very professional and caring. I cannot recommend them enough. Thankyou.

I used another firm for my matter initially, however after a bad experience I came across to Chris Hogg at Sills & Betteridge. Chris was very thorough in his approach, was really helpful, provided lots of explanation for how the process would work. Chris was very impressive the way he communicated and put my case forward in court, very glad I got to work with Chris.

From day one I was treated with the up most respect and compassion. I was able to discuss my case in detail and depth even in short notice phone calls where returned if Katie / Shelly were unable to talk straight away. I was kept up to date at all times and advised as what to do next which put my mind at ease. I can’t thank Katie / Shelly and staff enough thank you Sills & Betteridge for having a great team.
