Support Through Court

Support Though Court is a free legal support charity and can offer support with any aspect of civil legal proceedings such as family, money and housing/evictions among others. Support Through Court is comprised of volunteers who are available to listen to your case, help with form-filling, discuss next steps and can even accompany you into court (however this is not representation- the volunteers are not allowed to speak to the judge).

Law Society

If you are not sure where to go next, the Law Society seeks to pair clients with legal professionals. The process of finding a solicitor is online and their website can be found below:
