Once upon a time dealing with a legal matter was straightforward. You just spoke to your family solicitor or went to one of the many local solicitor practices on every high street in every town. They would deal with matters for you and if you could not afford to pay, legal aid was available.
This is no longer the case. The high street law practice with local solicitors known and respected by all has largely disappeared to be replaced by large firms with many offices and departments and lawyers specializing only in particular areas of law. Legal aid for civil and family disputes is a thing of the past. The law is now a business often owned and managed by non-lawyers and devoted to profit rather than helping those in need.
This book is a short guide to dealing with the first problem when you have a legal problem. How and from where legal help and advice can be obtained which is practical and affordable.
