Over the past few years there has been an alarming growth in the legal poverty gap. Increasing numbers of people have found themselves shut out of the Legal Aid system, unable (or unwilling) to pay for legal advice. The introduction of complicated 'no win, no fee' agreements and numerous high-profile 'claims company' scares, where thousands of accident victims have been left penniless, has undermined confidence in the system.

Law journalist and author Jon Robins guides you through the legal advice system; he describes how the legal process works, the various ways to get legal help, whom to see and how to get the best value for money.

About the Author

Jon Robins writes about legal issues for The Times and The Independent and is contributing editor of The Lawyer magazine; he also writes for specialist and trade magazines. Jon has been a legal journalist for seven years and in that time he has written more articles than he cares to remember about the problems that people have in enforcing their legal rights. Over recent years, he has seen at first hand how the drastic erosion of Legal Aid has denied many ordinary people access to justice and how the introduction of 'no win, no fee' arrangements has had mixed results for many consumers. For these reasons he has written this consumer guide on funding legal actions.
