Legal Aid Service is a state organisation which provides free legal assistance for socially vulnerable citizens who would not be able to pay for attorney’s services otherwise. The Legal Aid Service was created in 2007 and as of today it covers almost the whole country through legal aid bureaus and consultation centres.
How can it help you
Legal Aid
The Legal Aid Administration can provide you with state paid legal help (the assistance of a lawyer) if you cannot afford it yourself (if you are registered as a person with a low income or you have other reasons why you cannot pay for the help yourself). You can receive legal aid such as:
- Free legal counselling on any legal issues
- Compiling legal documents (filing applications, mediations etc)
- Services of attorney free of charge during criminal proceedings for the accused, convict and acquitted
- Service of the attorney on cases involving non-consensual psychiatric treatment
- Services of the attorney for such administrative offences which may entail arrest
- Service of the attorney for those accused and convicts subjected to disciplinary proceedings in penitentiary institutions
- Service of the attorney free of charge on specific cases of civil and administrative laws
- Representation in administrative bodies
To receive state-paid legal aid, you must submit an application and other relevant documents about your income, and the substance of your case, to the Legal Aid Administration.
