Legal Aid

Howards provides Legal Aid to clients that need financial assistance to ensure that they can access expert advice and representation.

At present we cover a range of legal areas such as personal injury and employment cases.

We are particularly well known for our Legal Aid work in representing clients in criminal prosecutions, be it a simple accusation of assault or a highly complex fraud case.

One individual, amongst a number, that stands out in our team of Legal Aid solicitors is Peter Eatherall. Peter, a founding partner at Howards, is one of an exclusive number of Legal Aid solicitors that is on a panel of advocates recommended and authorised to deal with the most serious of criminal cases by the Legal Services Commission – the body that runs the Legal Aid scheme.

Please note that we have a much-coveted Criminal Legal Aid Contract.
