Family law advice from our Luton office
"I don’t know what I would have done without The National Legal Service’s help. Within only 9 days from first speaking with a solicitor the order was granted."
Our Luton office supports people facing difficult family law issues, including urgent safeguarding concerns, disputes about children and proceedings involving children’s services. We understand that many people looking for family solicitors in Luton need clear advice quickly and may be worried about cost, safety or what will happen next.
NLS advises clients locally and across the wider region, including Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire. If another NLS office is better placed to support a particular issue, our teams work together so that clients receive advice from the right department.
Legal aid at our Luton office
Legal aid may be available for some family law cases handled through the Luton office. This can be especially important where a person needs advice about domestic abuse, care proceedings or urgent children law issues.
For domestic abuse protective order applications, the Legal Aid Agency waives all upper eligibility limits for orders protecting from domestic abuse or forced marriage, although a contribution may still be required. For care proceedings, parents with parental responsibility may be covered by a non-means and non-merits tested legal aid route, depending on the proceedings.
A solicitor can explain:
- whether your case may be within legal aid scope
- whether evidence is needed
- whether a means assessment applies
- whether a contribution may be required
- what documents may be needed
- what happens if legal aid is not available
If you are unsure whether you qualify, do not assume that legal advice is unaffordable. Ask for an assessment so the correct route can be checked.
