Find a solicitor

Use our Solicitor Finder tool below to search for registered solicitors who may be able to provide advice and represent you. You can only apply for legal aid through a solicitor. We do not provide legal advice.

Please note: solicitors can decide if they are able to take your case or not - even if they are registered for legal aid. More information: Find a solicitor FAQs
