To qualify for public funding your income and savings must be below a certain limit. If you are married, or you live with a partner, the income and capital of your spouse or partner will be taken into account. In some circumstances you may be required to pay a contribution to public funding from your capital or income.
If you already have public funding but you are dissatisfied with your present solicitors we can arrange for the public funding to be transferred to Duncan Lewis.
Please contact us so that we can assess whether you satisfy the Legal Merits Test and the Financial Eligibility Test, or to generally discuss your requirements.
We have also created “Means Tested Private Package” (MTPP) for those whose means are at the lower end but do not qualify for Legal Aid (proof of means will be required to be eligible for this) but require assistance for a Divorce only. If you believe you are entitled to this package please send your contact details, best time to call and a brief summary of your matter to familydept@duncanlewis.com. We will contact you to advise further.
