Legal Aid & Pro Bono Assistance
Can't afford an advocate? Answer a few questions and we'll tell you what assistance you qualify for — a free pro bono advocate, a National Legal Aid Service referral, or a reduced-fee route. Everyone gets a next step; nobody leaves with nothing.
How this works
- Tell us about your situation and household income — this takes about two minutes.
- We run a transparent means test and show you exactly why you qualify (or don't).
- If you qualify for the pro bono panel, we match you with an advocate in your county immediately. Otherwise you're routed to NLAS or a reduced-fee option.
Some matters are always prioritised
Criminal defence, child custody, gender-based violence, constitutional & human rights, and succession matters are routed on the merits regardless of income, because proceeding unrepresented carries severe consequences.
