Legal aid helps people pay for the cost of getting legal advice. Certain criteria will help determine whether you are eligible for Legal Aid such as:

• the nature of your case
• your financial circumstances
• how much help you need

Legal aid may not cover the full costs incurred by your case. You may also have to pay back the money you get as legal aid if you win any money or property from your case.
