Our last working day of the year will be Thursday 23^rd December and we will be re-opening our offices to clients strictly by appointment only on Tuesday 4^th January 2022. 

We appreciate that some clients may need assistance over the Christmas period. Our Legal Aid funded departments: -

• Criminal Defence department

• Family department (emergency Legal Aid cases only)

 will remain available for emergency situations whilst our offices are closed to represent individuals who require a solicitor. Please see below how you can make contact.

How to make contact with our Legal Aid teams over Christmas
