Reviewing your case

Once a caseworker has received your application form, we will begin to get to grips with understanding your case. We might need to contact you directly and collect more documents. When we have everything we need, your case will be sent to one of our volunteer reviewers, who will decide whether we can look for help. They will assess your case on financial and legal merits. This process takes several weeks and we prioritise cases with upcoming hearing deadlines.

Your case will either be accepted or rejected and we will email you to let you know. Occasionally we may need more information to be able to decide.
The reviewer's decision is final and cases are assessed on a step-by-step basis. This means that we can only agree to help you find assistance with one piece of work at a time.
Please note that assistance is not yet guaranteed at this stage because we still need to find a barrister to be able to help and this process can take time.

Advocate tries to find free legal help from barristers.

We can only assist if Legal Aid cannot be obtained and if you cannot afford to pay for legal assistance yourself. For more information about Legal aid go to: https://www.gov.uk/legal-aid. Please note that we will ask to see proof of your non-eligibility, Eg. a screenshot or email of the decision.

We need a minimum of 3 weeks' notice of any hearing date or deadline from the date all information needed is received.

In most cases, we can only help where an individual piece of work will take 3 days or less including preparation time for a barrister.

Our assistance is not guaranteed, and the conduct of the case remains your responsibility at all times.

Check if you are eligible
We cannot provide legal help to:

People with a deadline less than three weeks away
People who qualify for legal aid (click here for more information)
Anyone who can afford the legal help they need
People who have legal expenses insurance covering the problem they need help with

Legal Aid is money that you can apply for from the Government to pay for a solicitor or a barrister to help you. Advocate is not connected to this. We are a charity that helps people who cannot get legal aid. We find barristers who give free advice or representation in court but although we do our best to help, unfortunately, we cannot guarantee assistance because all of our barristers are volunteers.

Please bear in mind that we will ask you to confirm that you do not have access to the above options. Once this has been confirmed, a means test will be carried out to check your ability to afford legal help. This is carried out on a case-by-case basis. If you think you are eligible, please complete our application form with all the financial and other information requested in it.

If you are not eligible for legal assistance from Advocate, you may be able to afford a barrister through the Direct Access Portal. Alternatively, please visit our signposting page for more information on how to find the right legal help from another organisation.

Barristers can:

Represent you in any court/tribunal
Give legal advice in a meeting or over the phone
Give legal advice in writing
Draft documents such as skeleton arguments
Barristers cannot:

Prepare a case and paperwork for the court/tribunal
Lodge papers at the court/tribunal for you
Provide administrative support for you
Write letters on your behalf

How our service works
Advocate looks for free legal help from barristers for people who cannot get public funding (legal aid) and cannot afford to pay. Given that we rely on volunteers, we cannot always guarantee success, but if your case is eligible, we will try. We may be able to find you free legal help if:

You need a barrister to help you with your case.
Your case is based in England & Wales.
Your hearing or deadline is more than three weeks away after you submit a completed application along with all the documents we ask for.

In exceptional circumstances, we may be able to help with a case that has a hearing or deadline within three weeks if you are at imminent risk of:

Being imprisoned.
Losing contact with your children.
Losing your home.
Being deported.
