More information from Richmond Legal Advice Service

RLAS has prepared a "Useful Information and links" document which contains the following topics:

How do I know whether I am financially eligible for legal aid?
Where can I get internet access in the London Borough of Richmond without paying?
Where can I find sources of free legal information?
I am a tenant/lessee and I need a specialist firm of solicitors
I need help with evicting a tenant or my tenant is not paying her/his rent and I cannot afford to pay the normal fees charged by a lawyer
Are there any books which I mind find useful if I want help with my problem?

This document is updated from time-to-time.

RLAS has also prepared a leaflet indicating which firms of solicitors in the London Borough of Richmond of Thames and immediate surrounding area provide legal aid. This leaflet can be downloaded from here.

Note: The firms of solicitors who provide legal aid changes from time-to-time, and whether they can provide it will depend on a number of factors, including whether they can take new cases on (as well as the usual criteria of whether a person has a good case and the person's financial eligibility).
