Legal services in Scotland

Getting legal advice can help solve housing problems. You’ll usually need to hire a solicitor if you’re going to court.

Solicitors charge for their work. If you have a low income, you could get legal aid to help with the cost.

Some law centres also offer free advice. Law centres are often busy, and it's not guaranteed that they'll be able to take on your case.

This page lists law firms and law centres that provide housing and homelessness advice and accept legal aid.

There may be other legal services in your area that can help. Search:

• the Scottish Legal Aid Board for solicitors that accept legal aid

• the Law Society of Scotland for all solicitors practicing in Scotland
