Individuals
Regrettably PLP cannot at this time offer an advice service directly to the public.
In limited circumstances, we may be able to give advice on individual cases that are referred to us by other lawyers, advisors, MPs or voluntary groups. Please see the voluntary sector and community groups page for further details.
You may be able to obtain advice from other advice agencies such as the Citizens Advice Bureau or law centres. You could also try contacting law firms to see if they can take on your case.
If you are claiming certain benefits or on a sufficiently low income then you may be eligible for legal aid to cover your legal costs. Further information on whether you may be eligible for legal aid is available here: https://www.gov.uk/legal-aid/overview. A search tool for finding a legal advisor who does legal aid work is available here: http://legaladviserfinder.justice.gov.uk/AdviserSearch.do
