Legal Aid
Legal aid is one of the fundamental elements to guarantee free access to justice for all individuals, as provided for by the European Convention on Human Rights. This aid, provided for by Beekman Advocatuur, should allow citizens who do not have sufficient financial means, to be assisted for limited costs by a lawyer in judicial matters. Legal aid mainly concerns legal representation (before a court) or consists in legal advice.

Restrictions for granting legal aid exist. For example, for certain small cases it is not always possible to be granted legal aid. Furthermore, it is necessary to verify the financial situation of someone who requires legal aid. The Dutch authorities ('Raad voor Rechtsbijstand') use an income- and asset test to verify if legal aid can be granted.

Beekman Advocatuur offers You the opportunity of free access to justice for limited costs via the system of legal aid.
