Top 10 of 125 law firms for Legal Aid Defence Work, Legal Aid

Law firms ranked by client reviews

This work covers the provision of publicly funded defence in criminal matters in England and Wales, where a solicitor helps clients access legal representation through the Legal Aid Agency. A solicitor practising in this area handles applications for legal aid, interviews clients to gather information, negotiates with the Crown Prosecution Service, prepares defence strategies, drafts and files documents for court, represents clients at police stations, magistrates’ courts and the Crown Court, and coordinates with expert witnesses and instructing counsel where needed. The process is shaped by means testing, eligibility checks and the availability of funded defence.
