Funding legal services
Some solicitors in Chesterfield have the capacity to undertake publicly funded work (known as legal aid) which you may be eligible for under certain circumstances. This means that if your income and savings are sufficiently low and you pass other legal tests, you may be entitled to free legal advice and representation in court.
Other firms offer conditional fee agreements (commonly referred to as ‘no win, no fee’ agreements) and other types of funding options. These are mainly offered for personal injury cases, employment law cases and other civil law cases with high chances of success.
