Legal aid allows you to receive funding for legal advice and representation. The help that you can get will depend on a number of factors, namely; the nature of the charges you are facing, whether or not you are in custody and whether you plan to plead guilty or not guilty.

Should you qualify for legal aid then you will not have to pay towards the cost of your defence. Should you wish to find out more about Legal Aid then visit the Scottish Legal Aid Board website.
