You dont automatically get legal aid, the criteria changed not that long ago its a lot more stringent now than it used to be. I made enquiries a few months back to see if I qualified but didn't, and one thing I didn't know which the solicitor told me, is any legal aid you do get has to be paid back, it isn't free as I always thought.
