Court Support
Information about how you can access support through the court process.
Support through Court
Support through Court provides a safe space for people facing court alone. Our volunteers will listen to your story, help you to problem-solve and decide next steps, source reliable legal information, explain complex procedures, complete court forms, and talk to you about how to speak in court.
Citizen’s Advice
You might be able to get help with legal costs depending on your income, if you have any savings and investments and how serious your case is. Citizen’s Advice goes through all the options.
Advice Clinics – University Pro Bono services
You might be able to get some advice from an advice clinic.
