Dallas & Richardson Solicitors have a legal aid contract with the Legal Aid Agency.

As with each and every client, we will firstly consider eligibility for legal aid (representation order). In the Magistrates Court this is subject to a means test. In cases before the Crown Court are also subject to a means test, but that would be with a view to assessing whether or not you would have to make a contribution towards the grant of legal aid.

If any client is ineligible for legal aid then it is this firm’s policy to charge fees at the legal aid rate. The excellent level of service is exactly the same but we do not believe it is in our client’s interests to have to pay over and above the legal aid rates that the practice would have received if you were eligible for legal aid.
