Legal Fees
Legal Aid may be available to cover the cost of legal representation in the Court of Protection. This means that your legal costs could be wholly or partially paid by the Legal Aid Agency.
If you’re subject to a Deprivation of Liberty and wish to challenge this, you could be eligible for non-means tested Legal Aid. In other cases, you could be eligible for means-tested Legal Aid.
Cartwright King will always advise you on whether Legal Aid is available to you. However, if you’re ineligible for Legal Aid, Cartwright King will discuss private fee paying options and payment plans with you. The priority is ensuring that you have access to the highest standard of legal representation.
