"Legal aid" describes the services available for people who cannot afford legal assistance to resolve a legal problem. Provided you are eligible, a "grant of legal assistance" can help fund a lawyer from Victoria Legal Aid (VLA), or a private lawyer, to:
- give you legal advice;
- help negotiate an agreement
- prepare legal documents; or
- speak for you in court.
Grants of legal assistance are allocated by VLA. Legal aid also includes free general legal information and some free legal advice.
