Matrimonial finances legal aid solicitor

Hi
I desperately need a solicitor that accepts legal aid for divorce finances. I have legal aid but am struggling to find a solicitor that accepts it.
The solicitor can be anywhere in England. I would be grateful for any recommendations.

    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    Unfortunately legal aid rates have been frozen for so long, andthe process has such a high administrative burden  than many solicitors no longer offer it as it  isn't economical to do so, ndthose solicitors who do accept it tend to be very busy. 

    You can try seraching using Resolution's find a professional https://resolution.org.uk/find-a-law-professional/ - if you use the 'advance search' option you can filter for 'accepts legal aid' 
    You can also try the LAw Soiety's find a solicitor https://solicitors.lawsociety.org.uk/ - again, if you click on 'more search options' you can filter by wrok type and whether someone accepts legal aid 
    All posts are my personal opinion, not formal advice Always get proper, professional advice (particularly about anything legal!)
