Legal Aid Immigration Solicitor
Legal aid is critical to enable equal and fair access to justice for people who may be at high risk of exclusion from the legal system. Unfortunately, due to significant government cut backs, it is estimated spending on legal aid has shrunk by more than £1bn in five years.
The vast bulk of immigration matters do not attract legal aid and legal aid immigration solicitors work in the following areas where legal aid is potentially available such as detention, deportation, applications to stay in the UK as a trafficking victim, SIAC (special immigration appeals commission), asylum applications, indefinite leave to stay due to domestic violence and terrorism prevention and investigation measures. In order to be eligible for legal aid, you need to pass a means and merits test.
The effect of legal aid cuts has resulted in a high number of people representing themselves and as a result, these individuals can miss out on vital legal advice or representation.
Vestra Lawyers have a dedicated immigration and asylum team that specialises in Immigration, Asylum and Nationality law.
Vestra Lawyers deal with a wide variety of immigration matters including detention, asylum, deportations, trafficking, human rights, appeals and judicial reviews. We have a fantastic track record and over 20 years’ experience, so you can feel rest assured that you are in safe hands. We appreciate that every case is different and work tirelessly to help achieve the best result for you.
