Finding a lawyer in the United Kingdom

A specialist lawyer changes an asylum claim. Finding one is hard, and it takes a lot of phone calls.

Start with the official directories: find-legal-advice.justice.gov.uk, filtered on “immigration and asylum”, and the law centres map on lawcentres.org.uk.

Look for local organisations too: search your town's name with “asylum support” or “migrant support”. Many of them know which firms are still taking cases.

Care4Calais answers on WhatsApp on +44 7519 773268. Asylum Aid gives free one-off telephone advice on +44 2073 549264: Monday 14:00 to 16:30 and Thursday 10:00 to 12:30.

Ask around you as well — friends, family, the people you share accommodation with. That is often how someone finds a firm that answers.
