There is a 24 hour legal advice line available for advising

or held by the police in custody.

In addition to free initial advice by telephone or interview (where practicable), legal aid will be applied for where applicable and even if legal is refused the Criminal Law Solicitor will charge in accordance with the Legal Aid rates.
