On April 25th my son was found asleep in his car and when unable to rouse him the police were called. He was unable to provide them with a breath test and was subsequently arrested. Blood test show methadrone (?) and cannabis in his system and he has been charged with being in charge of a vehicle whilst unfit to drive through drugs. He is in court on July 14th and has been told he needs a solicitor. My son is unemployed - the solicitors he has approached have all quoted very high fees which he cannot pay. He is 24 years old and we do not support him financially as I am currently unemployed. Any advice would be good. Such as would he qualify for legal aid or would the court be able to provide him with free legal representation?
