The 'Legal advice and legal aid' section explains about all the options to consider for legal help - not just legal aid.
This includes information about getting free help with legal problems, finding a solicitor and applying for legal aid.
All the following links in this section open on the external mygov.scot website. You can go the start or choose a section below to find out more about:
Who can help you if you need advice about a legal problem, such as debt, housing, benefits, employment, divorce or claims for money.
Help with the costs of legal advice and representation in court if you can’t afford it.
If you have a dispute with someone or an organisation, there may be ways to deal with it without going to court.
Solicitors can give you legal advice and representation at court.
