Legal Aid

Legal Aid Queensland is funded to provide grants of legal aid to solicitors to assist people who, due to low incomes, or other reasons, are finding it difficult to obtain legal assistance with their matters.

Here at Wallace Davies Solicitors, we have been appointed as Legal Aid Preferred Suppliers. This appointment allows us to accept grants of aid to help people with their legal matters including:

  • Criminal
  • Family Law
  • Domestic Violence
  • Child Protection  
  • Mental Health Review Tribunal Hearings

As preferred supplier we have facilities to make on-line applications directly to Legal Aid on behalf of clients.

If you think that you may be eligible for legal aid we would encourage you to contact us to make an appointment.  These appointments are $55.00 and if legal aid is granted then there is usually no further payments to be made.

You should bring with you to this appointment the following information that will be required to lodge the legal aid application.

  • Statements for all of your bank accounts for the last 3 months
  • Centrelink Income Statement
  • Pay slips for the last month (if working)

Contact our Legal Aid team to help you through this process.
