If you have financial difficulties or need special protection, you can apply for legal assistance.
However, how should I apply? Will it have some cost?

These questions appears, while people look forward to apply for legal aid.
In fact, it is not difficult to apply for legal assistance; most times, you only need to cover partially. In special circumstances, the full amount will be covered.
