Deborah Gibbins & Co secured a Legal Aid Franchise in the specialist area of family/matrimonial work on 22nd October 1999 .  Advice is provided to both Legal Aid (Publicly Funded) clients and private paying clients.

 In securing a Legal Aid Franchise is it necessary for the firm and legal staff to meet specialist quality standards imposed by the Legal Services Commission (formerly the Legal Aid Board).  Accordingly the firm has been awarded a specialist quality mark to reflect this.
