Public Funding (Legal Aid)
TMJ Legal Services LLP would like to make sure that everyone in the community has equal access to our expert legal services and to further this objective we hold Legal Services Commission Specialist Quality Marks in the areas of Family Law, Debt and Housing.
Financially eligible clients will gain free advice and assistance in these areas of law. We find out if you are eligible at the first interview and ask you to come with evidence of income by way of 4 weeks’ wage slips, tax credits or evidence of benefits received from the DWP.
This scheme, more commonly known as "Legal Aid", is available on a full range of matters including:
- Divorce
- Separation
- Children Issues
- Domestic Violence and Civil Injunctions
- Debt
- Housing
- Wills (in some circumstances eg over 70, disabled or single parent wishing to appoint a testamentary guardian)
Legal Services Commission funding is available to people on low or limited incomes. A whole range of factors are taken into account in determining whether somebody is eligible for Legal Aid and our experienced solicitors can advise you as to whether you qualify at your first initial appointment.
As most legal issues can easily become a costly business Legal Aid at TMJ Legal Services LLP means that everyone can get the best possible service for the best possible price.
