Legal Aid
Legal aid is publicly funded help with legal costs in England and Wales, run by the Legal Aid Agency. Firms hold a separate contract for each category of law they cover, and whether someone qualifies depends on their financial means and the type of case. HCB Solicitors Ltd appears in the agency's published data as a provider in the categories below.
Defence representation for people arrested, charged, or facing prosecution, including police station, magistrates court, and Crown Court work.
Criminal legal aid covers the cost of a solicitor when you have been arrested, charged with a crime, or are facing prosecution. The duty solicitor scheme means anyone arrested can ask for a free solicitor at the police station regardless of income, with no means test. Once a case reaches court, eligibility for representation is means and merits tested.
Available at these offices: Evesham, Manchester, Warrington
3 duty solicitor schemes
Family law support where there is documented domestic abuse, plus care proceedings, child protection, forced marriage, and international child abduction.
Family legal aid covers domestic abuse, child protection (including care proceedings), forced marriage, female genital mutilation, and international child abduction. Routine divorce and child arrangements are generally not covered by legal aid since the 2013 LASPO reforms unless there is evidence of domestic abuse. Care proceedings are non-means-tested for parents; other family legal aid is means and merits tested.
Available at these offices: Bedford, Bolton, Leigh, Manchester and 3 more
7 procurement areas
Legal support for people identified as potential victims of trafficking or modern slavery.
Modern Slavery legal aid covers people identified or being assessed as potential victims of trafficking or modern slavery, including referral through the National Referral Mechanism, related immigration matters, and damages claims arising from their exploitation. The contract was significantly expanded after the Modern Slavery Act 2015, with its own dedicated allocation. Specialist providers handle most cases.

Specialist representation for people in prison on parole, sentence calculation, adjudications, and conditions.
Prison Law covers the legal needs of serving prisoners, including parole hearings, sentence calculation disputes, prison disciplinary adjudications, and challenges to treatment or conditions inside prison. Solicitors with this contract visit prisons regularly and know prison-specific procedure. It is a specialist add-on to the standard Crime contract; only around 10% of crime firms hold it, so finding a Prison Law specialist can be hard.
Available at these offices: Evesham
