Legal aid solicitors in Carlisle and Penrith...

Committed to legal aid

Public funding (Legal Aid) exists to ensure that the less well off have access to justice, and not just the rich. Although it is increasingly difficult to find solicitors who underake legal aid due its lower levels of pay, at Williams and Airey we are committed to providing legal aid.

Evidence required for legal aid

During your initial consultation we will assess your eligibility for legal aid.  If you are eligible we will undertake your case under legal aid. Please bring to your appointment evidence of your income, including:
  • Pay slips for the last complete month
  • Bank statements for the last complete month
  • State benefit award letter e.g. Income Support, Tax Credits, etc..

We will not be able to complete the legal aid assessment and sign you up for legal aid without evidence of your income.

Online legal aid assessment

What if you are not eligible?

If you are not financially eligible for legal aid, we offer a number of Fixed Fee options including a fixed cost initial 1/2 hour consultation for £50+VAT.
