It is becoming increasingly difficult to bring claims in court. Many people decide to act as a litigant in person if they cannot find free advice, which can be fraught with difficulty. The law reports are littered with case where litigants in person have cases struck out and only a few cases where litigants in person are helped by the court

There has been a long history of the decline in the availability of free legal help in recent years.  There are many reasons for this, including:

  • the reduction in the availability of Legal Aid, either because the number of firms conducting this work has dramatically declined, or because the types of matter it is available for is now very small;
  • changes to conditional (no win no fee) agreements, which make them more expensive for people wanting to bring a claim;
  • increased court fees; and
  • the unwillingness of solicitors to help clients for free. 

Unfortunately, there is not much that we can do about the first three of these. However, we can and do offer free initial legal advice to clients wherever possible.

Our free legal services are as follows:

When we are able to, we will work for clients using conditional (no win no fee) agreements. In all other cases, we will be happy to discuss flexible funding options with you to ensure that costs are manageable.
