Getting legal help in Preston

Preston is Lancashire's administrative centre and the county's main legal market. Regional firms have offices here, and the Georgian streets around Winckley Square have long been home to solicitors. Between them, local firms cover commercial and agricultural work for Lancashire businesses as well as family, property, wills and crime for people in the city and the surrounding towns.

Preston's courts are split across two sites. The Preston Combined Court Centre on Ring Way handles county court claims and Crown Court cases, while family cases are heard at the Sessions House on Lancaster Road, Lancashire's main family court centre. Criminal cases start at Preston Magistrates' Court on Lawson Street. There's no employment tribunal in Preston: in-person hearings for Lancashire claims are held in Manchester, though many shorter hearings take place by video.

Check your letter carefully for which Preston court building your hearing is in, because there are two. If an employment hearing is in person, allow for the trip to Manchester, or ask whether it can be held by video. If local firms are busy, Manchester and Liverpool are both within an hour and many firms there act for clients across Lancashire. Legal aid is still available for some family and housing cases, so check the means test first.

Legal aid in Preston

Firms in Preston hold Legal Aid Agency contracts in Children and social services, Civil liberties and public bodies, Clinical negligence, Criminal defence, Domestic abuse and protection and Family and relationships. Legal aid is means tested and a contract does not guarantee a firm has capacity, but these are the areas where public funding is available locally.
