With Legal Aid virtually unavailable and solicitors charging around £200 an hour, more and more people are acting for themselves when they need to bring court proceedings or deal with a legal matter.
Affordable Law For You will equip you with everything you need to ensure you have the best chance of success without breaking the bank.
We are a firm of lawyers who work online providing assistance to Litigant in Person in preparing, issuing and serving legal documents in civil litigation matters and providing you with information on how you can recover some of your costs as a Litigant in Person.
Research service helping you make a considered approach
Many cases brought by Litigant in Person are lost - and not necessarily because they have bad cases. The English and Welsh legal system can be complex and confusing, and legally trained opponents can take advantage of technical or procedural errors. Not only can we assist you with each step of the Court process but we can also assist you by undertaking research, providing you with details of up to date case law, and reporting to you on the key points of relevant law which will enable you to support your arguments in Court.
Professional, expert assistance for Litigant in Person
We aim to make access to the law easy, convenient and affordable to you as a Litigant in Person. We provide legal assistance to people to enable them to deal with progressing their legal issues without the expense, stress and inconvenience associated with instructing a traditional law firm. We are not a firm of solicitors but are independent, experienced lawyers who believe in making law accessible to Litigant.
Affordable Law for You can take the worry off your shoulders
Our lawyers can assist you whether you are Claimant or Defendant by preparing documents in the correct format required by the Court in accordance with the Civil Procedure. All work is undertaken by lawyers with many years of experience and is totally confidential. When necessary we can put you in touch with experienced advocates who can represent you at competitive prices.
Do you need practical and moral support at your court hearings?
The Courts have agreed that Litigants in Person can have a Mackenzie friend with them at hearings. A Mackenzie friend can:
Provide moral support for personal litigants
Take notes with the permission of the judge
Help with case papers
Quietly give advice on any aspect of the conduct of the case which is being heard
A Mackenzie friend can not:
Conduct the litigation, acting as the personal litigant's agent in relation to the proceedings
Manage the personal litigant's cases outside court, for example by signing court documents or
Exercise a right of audience by addressing the court, making oral submissions or examining witnesses unless this has, in very exceptional circumstances, been authorised by the court
If you require us to assist you by attending Court with you we can supply a Mackenzie friend to attend Court with you. Click on the link for more details.
What People Are Saying
“WINNERS! After years of anguish, Deborah brought clarity and confidence to our legal matter, helping us reach a brilliant resolution in only a few weeks. Don't hesitate - she's every bit as strong as the expensive London lawyers!”
— Katie Hardy
“I was shocked to find myself having to defend a claim, there was no way I could afford any of the solicitors who I'd already been in contact with. With no experience in the legal system, I was feeling overwhelmed and out of my depth until I came across Affordable Law For You. I am very grateful to Deborah for making so much time for me at such short notice and it was a huge relief to have somebody with so much experience on my side drafting most of the paperwork and giving advice. Even with all of Deborah's help, I still had to pull an all-nighter to get everything submitted to the court on time. I can't imagine what I'd have done without her.”
— B Rose

Affordable Law makes it easy for you to make a decision on next steps. Whatever your decision, Deborah E Aloba stands by you every step of the way. In the 3 years that I've used their services for university issues while studying in the UK, I have found Affordable Law to be a quality service at an affordable price with a warm heart. 🥰”
