Legal aid and financing of litigation

Legal aid and financing of litigation

If you are worried about the costs incurred by legal consultancy or a court dispute, a variety of options are available. For persons with low income, the law provides for the possibility of a reimbursement of consultancy or litigation costs. In more complex cases with positive chances of success, the financing of the proceedings by a litigation funder may be a reasonable option.

Legal aid for consultancy and litigation - special options for persons with low income

Persons with low income can obtain consultancy services from a lawyer of their choice, for a fee of ten Euro. This applies, for instance, to persons drawing any form of welfare aid, i.e. Sozialhilfe, Arbeitslosengeld II or Hartz IV. It also applies for benefits under the law for asylum seekers (Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz).
