Biscoes Forces Legal

Biscoes Legal Forces services offer a comprehensive legal; service for members of the Armed Forces throughout Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

We have experience of the particular legal needs of service personnel and understand the difficulties that can sometimes be caused by service life and regulations.

Biscoes Forces Legal is increasingly being recognised by senior members of the Armed Forces as providing independent specialist advice in relation to Armed Forces matters. We receive, therefore, recommendations from the Law Society (our Governing Body); the Royal British Legion; SSAFA; the Tri Service Welfare Authorities; the Tri Service Police; and from various units and individuals direct.

Biscoes operates a number of Legal Advice Clinics in Service Establishments including:

• HMS Nelson
• HMS Excellent (Whale Island)
• HMS Sultan
• HMS Collingwood
• Marchwood

Each of the Advice Clinics is attended by a Solicitor who provides a free initial consultation limited normally to thirty minutes. Thereafter, an individual may be seen on a normal private or Publicly Funded (Legal Aid) basis at one of our offices.

Serving and retired service personnel may be entitled to a discount of 10% on net profit costs [excluding any third party disbursements] if such cannot be recovered from a Third Party. Please contact us for details as to your eligibility for such discount scheme.
