Legal Aid is no longer available for the majority of personal injury claims. For information on alternative forms of funding please see funding arrangements

We hold a Legal Service Commission Franchise for Family, Crime and Personal Injury matters and are able to offer public funding (Legal Aid) for those who are eligible, dependent on the nature of your claim and your financial circumstances. Public funding helps those who cannot afford solicitors' costs. The Legal Services Commission has on its website at www.clsdirect.org.uk a calculator which you can use to determine whether you might qualify financially for Legal Aid. Alternatively, we would be happy to advise whether you qualify and if so help you to complete the application forms. For further information on Legal Aid please contact Stephen Walker at s.walker@ashfords.co.uk

Interviewees describe this firm as “a well-organised team which is diligent in its service to clients.”
