Recommendations: Disability discrimination lawyers

I’m looking for recommendations for a lawyer within Greater/Glasgow area who has experience in dealing with disability discrimination cases.

I have spoken with the Legal Services Agency in Glasgow, but they are inundated with potential cases and mine is in a list waiting to be looked at. They recommended that I look for someone else in the meantime as they can’t guarantee they’ll be able to help within the timeframe i.e., the deadline for taking a discrimination case to court.

It would likely also require someone who can take on legal aid clients - it’s a big ask, I appreciate that it’ll narrow things down significantly.

Thank you for any recommendations or just advice in general.

Edit: this is regarding a customer-local authority issue, not workplace! I should’ve stated this originally, sorry

Looks like they are no win no fee

Might be worthwhile sending them a message to ask if they do legal aid.

Thank you for sharing those links with me! I’ll have a look to see what they offer. I should’ve updated my post to say that this isn’t an employee-employer thing, it’s to do with a local authority.
