Funding for Legal Services

Most of our work is publicly funded through the Legal Services Commission.

Public Funding
For publicly funded work you have to pass a means test. When we see you for the first time we will take you through it to see if you qualify.

With Legal Help we can investigate your case, advise, write letters and negotiate for you. You can check whether you are eligible for Legal Help here.

With Legal Representation, better known as Legal Aid, we can run a court case for you.

Private Funding

If you do not qualify for publicly funded help we can work for you privately. We charge on an hourly basis. The rates vary according to the type of case and level of caseworker. Please contact us at info@hansenpalomares.co.uk for details.

Conditional Fees
In some cases we offer "no win - no fee" or "no win - lower fee" arrangements. Check our information sheet.

Costs if you lose
Publicly funded clients are usually protected from paying their opponent's costs if they lose.

For privately paying and conditional fee clients we can usually obtain insurance against paying an opponent's costs. Normally this will not cost you anything.
