LEGAL AID
​
Legal Aid
A grant of legal aid can be applied for through an application form with appropriate supporting documentation. A successful grant means that you have been appointed a lawyer to represent you in court. This can be either a lawyer employed by Legal Aid NSW or a private lawyer, like us, paid for by Legal Aid NSW.
​
If you want one of our lawyers to represent you, we suggest you contact us as soon as possible. We can even lodge an application on your behalf.
