Sonn Macmillan Walker conducts work on behalf of legally aided as well as privately paying clients.

You are entitled to consult with a solicitor free of charge whilst detained at any police station in England & Wales.

In the Magistrates Court, you may be entitled to legal aid subject to a means and merits test. If your disposable income exceeds the limit then you will not qualify for legal aid and , if you want to instruct a solicitor, you will have to pay privately. Legal aid in the Crown Court is now means tested. You will normally be granted legal aid but, depending on your means, you may be required to pay a financial contribution.

Many clients prefer to instruct us on a private fee paying basis and we undertake a considerable amount of work under that arrangement. 

Please telephone us and we will be happy to advise you on the most appropriate way to fund your case.
