LEGAL AID

What is Legal Aid?

Legal Aid provides financial support for legal advice, family mediation, and representation in court or tribunal proceedings. It ensures that everyone, regardless of their financial situation, can access justice when faced with legal issues


Eligibility for Legal Aid is determined based on two main factors:

  1. The type of case
  2. The applicant's financial circumstances

To qualify, you must demonstrate that your case is serious and that you cannot afford to pay for legal services. Financial eligibility is assessed through a means test, which considers your income, savings, and assets.

Generally, you may be eligible for Legal Aid if:

  • Your gross monthly income is below £2,657
  • Your disposable monthly income does not exceed £733
  • Your disposable capital (savings and assets) is less than £8,000

Certain benefits, such as Universal Credit, may automatically qualify you for Legal Aid

At Family First Lawyers, we are committed to providing high-quality legal services to all our clients, including those eligible for Legal Aid. To ensure the best possible representation, all our Legal Aid cases are processed through BG Lawyers LLP, a firm with over 35 years of experience in family law.

BG Lawyers LLP holds a contract with the Legal Aid Agency, allowing us to offer Legal Aid services in various areas of family law, including:

  • Child law
  • Family mediation
  • Domestic abuse cases


This partnership ensures that our Legal Aid clients receive expert legal representation while adhering to all necessary regulations and standards set by the Legal Aid Agency.

If you believe you may be eligible for Legal Aid, please contact us to discuss your situation. We can guide you through the application process and help determine if you qualify for this valuable assistance.
