Get help paying for our services

If you are in need of legal services but are worried about the cost, Draycott Browne will assist you in applying for legal aid. Legal aid is public funding to help you pay for the professional advice and representation you require. If your application for legal aid is successful, you will no longer need to worry about the financial repercussions of your case (though, if you are employed and your case proceeds to the Crown Court, you may be ordered to make a contribution towards the cost of your representation). If you have any questions regarding legal aid, get in touch with our team.
