Legal aid can't get the expected good legal service.
Generally speaking, legal aid is the guarantee of basic legal services and pays attention to the basic nature of services. Of course, in cases where legal aid is available, it is basically not difficult to win in the civil field.
However, in criminal cases and criminal private prosecution cases, the importance of lawyers is still obvious. In fact, legal aid providers are mostly young lawyers, because there is no source of cases, and because lawyers push them out to deal with hard work in order to meet the requirements of superiors. For young lawyers, one is to practice their hands, and the other is to earn a meager transportation subsidy.
Of course, if you are lucky enough, you may meet a very capable young lawyer when you enter the business, but you don't have the source of the case. You can help to start your brand.

How to apply for legal aid
Since legal aid is a free social service provided by the government, there is a special management department. In the local judicial bureau, there is usually a legal aid center, which is the way for the government to purchase legal services and provide them to those in need free of charge. You only need to bring your own evidence to the judicial bureau to apply, and it is easy to apply if you meet the conditions.
There is also a legal aid center in colleges and universities. This application is a bit difficult. Based on typical social cases and practices, they often provide help for complex and difficult cases and hot cases. In addition, whether the aid meets their selection criteria depends entirely on their wishes.
Of course, lawyers want to be famous, and many lawyers often struggle to help cases with strong social repercussions and hot issues of public concern. The essential purpose is to increase exposure and strengthen self-publicity, so as to obtain more case resources and good social reputation. This kind of assistance is usually that the lawyer takes the initiative to contact you.
