Free legal advice at the police station in Kent
Yes: it's free. Every suspect, regardless of income, is entitled to free independent legal advice at a Kent police interview under caution.
No Bill To You
Our fees for police station attendance are paid directly by the Legal Aid Agency. You'll never receive a bill from us for police station work.
No Means Test
Unlike court legal aid, police station advice is non-means tested. It doesn't matter if you're employed, unemployed, or a millionaire.
Why go alone?
It costs you nothing, so there is no good reason to sit the interview without a solicitor.
Legal Basis: Advice and Assistance at the Police Station is funded by the Legal Aid Agency under the Standard Crime Contract.
Authority: Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012.
