Going into this new year with a new job, new mind set and new standards. No "new me"... because I've fought hard and faced a lot of trauma to be the person I am today.
Where is the Legal Aid help in the UK? Because over the last week I have contacted over 25 solicitors firms in the southwest. 19 so far have responded to say they have no capacity for any more legal aid cases. I don't understand, whats going on? Where is the help?
