Legal aid criminal lawyer needed for non attendance at school

Hello looking for recommendations for criminal legal aid
lawyers that deal with non attendance at school as I have been summoned to the magistrates courts . It’s been a nightmare and very stressful as most of the firms contacted are taking cases on privately and charging a lot of money. The ones I have contacted so far that are doing the legal aid seem to be out of London. I could be wrong.

You might look at education solicitors perhaps

You need a criminal solicitor. The vast majority will do legal aid (don't know you would qualify). You can search for crime and your area here: solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/

(Assuming you're England/Wales)

Sorry, what I mean to say is I'd start with the criminal firms in your area and ask them, rather than trying to find a specialist.
