Liverpool PSU celebrated 10,000 client contacts back in July 2016 and we are continuing to grow, the needs of Litigants in Person (LIPs) are higher than ever since the severe restrictions in legal Aid have come about.
PSU currently have 340 or so client contacts per month at Liverpool and we have now opened up in Chester on Wednesdays and Fridays, and this is generating a further 30 contacts a month. We expect the demand for PSU will increase as the on-line court develops and LIPs need help with digital applications. At the present time 86% of our work is Family.
We are looking for Law firms to partner with us in providing some Probono representation for the most vulnerable of our clients and to support us financially. Can your firm partner with us?
We encourage our clients to employ formal legal advice and representation, or advise them if they might qualify for legal aid. Sadly, the majority of our clients are either on minimum wage or unemployed, and very few qualify for legal aid.
If you can help, please contact Dave at PSU. Dave can be contacted on 0151 296 2296 or by email at liverpool@thepsu.org.uk
