Legal Aid & Free Help
- GOV.UK — Check if you can get legal aid The official government tool to check legal aid eligibility based on your situation, income, and savings.

Scotland & Northern Ireland
Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own regulators, separate from England and Wales - use these instead of the tools above if you're based there.
- Law Society of Scotland The professional body and regulator for Scottish solicitors.
- Law Society of Northern Ireland The professional body and regulator for solicitors in Northern Ireland.
A note on staying safe: always verify a solicitor independently through the SRA's own record checker rather than relying solely on a firm's own website - regulators have repeatedly warned about cloned sites impersonating real, regulated firms.
