Legal Aid

We are not prepared to work for the low rates paid by the Government for legal aid lawyers. We believe you need a properly qualified and experienced representative looking after you and, to be frank, you get what you pay for. As a result, we do not hold a Community Legal Services franchise in relation to Criminal Defence work and have no plans to apply for one. Should you wish to receive advice on how to apply for Community Legal Services funding you should contact the Court where you are being prosecuted.

To obtain legal aid you need to satisfy both a merits and a means test.  This means you must show them that it is serious enough to warrant legal aid and that you cannot afford to contribute to the cost yourself. For most motoring cases (with the exceptions of Dangerous Driving and Causing Death by Dangerous Driving) Legal Aid is not usually available. Should you believe you may qualify for Legal Aid then the following links provide information on getting criminal legal aid including links to the relevant forms with guidance and answers to frequent questions.

  1. Getting Criminal Legal Aid
  2. Interests of Justice Test (merits test)
  3. Means test

Don't wait until it's too late. Call Motor Defence Team now, on 0800 2800 912, for a fixed fee consultation with a specialist lawyer.
