My Legal Aid certificate (Certificate of Public Funding) has been discharged and I’ve been told to re-apply – can you help to get it reinstated?

It depends why your certificate was discharged. If your means have changed and you are no longer financially eligible then you will not be granted public funding. If your certificate has been discharged for reasons related to the merits of your case then we may be able to review the work which has been done and, if we feel it was of an inadequate standard, we may be able to re-apply on your behalf. The LSC is used to granting applications where work has been done by non-specialists, who were until recently allowed to undertake clinical negligence work with public funding. However the fact that the work was done by a non-specialist doesn’t mean it was necessarily inadequate. We will have to be able to show specific failures. I’m not happy with my present solicitors because they are non-specialist/taking too long and I would like to transfer my case to your firm. Do I risk losing my public funding/legal aid certificate if I transfer to you? No. Non-specialist firms cannot make applicatio
