We merely require the defendant to ask for 'Bobbetts Mackan' and we can then proceed to give advice over the phone or attend in person for interview. Both of these are free of charge. Historically, Legal Aid for criminal cases in the Magistrates Court was not 'means tested'. Cases in the Crown Court were however subject to a contribution at the end of a case where the defendant was convicted.
