1pm, Sat 30 May, outside Duncan Lewis (corner Balls Pond Road and Kingsland Road)
Duncan Lewis take Legal Aid contracts for types of cases that community law centres and Citizens Advice Bureaux cannot afford to take. In many cases that we’ve heard about, they seem to manage to do this by cutting corners and letting their clients down.
In the next few months, the government will award a new round of contracts for legal aid provision.
We think it’s really important that people’s bad experiences at Duncan Lewis are publicised so that others don’t make the same mistake and so that the government can no longer claim that the money it allocates for legal aid is enough for a decent service.
Come along to our Speak Out event at 1pm on Sat 30 May to share your story in person, to listen to others, and to talk about what we can do! Spread the word further by sharing your story anonymously online:
