Legal
It is very important that you have a qualified solicitor (legal practitioner) to advise you on your claim for asylum. Scottish Refugee Council can direct you to solicitors working in asylum law in Scotland. You can also search for a qualified solicitor on the Law Society of Scotland's website.
