Legal Aid

Can you get Legal Aid?

It’s highly unlikely that anyone charged with what is classed as a “minor road traffic offence” will be able to get legal aid to fund their representation.

The court only tends to grant legal aid to people who are at risk of imprisonment.

At Patterson Law we only deal with cases on a private fee paying basis.

We try and make sure that our fees are as reasonable as possible and, if we win, we try and get as much of your fees back for you in the form of a defendant’s costs order.
