depends what it is for. Last time I had one, £150 an hour. But compromise agreements paid for seperately, or no-win no-fee may be an option, or you may be covered on your house insurnace or through your trade union.

Some solicitors offer an initial half hour for free so that you can find out if there is a possible case.

There are also community law centres etc that will sometimes offer professional advice for free to people with limited means.

If there are medical issues (I note your red signature line) then it is possible some help may be available from a charity such as Mind.

There are also organisations that provide help and support to people with mental health issues in the workplace. The Richmond Fellowship is one such example.

Can I suggest you sit down and try to write a short summary of the situation (no more than one well spaced out page) as this is often the easiest way to explain the problem to an advisor as quickly as possible. This is not an easy thing to do for yourself when you are closely involved so it may help to get a friend's input.

You could then post the summary on here (leaving out any names etc) and we may be able to offer more advice.

House insurance sometimes covers employment issues.

Also try CAB for guidance on the other health related organisation that may be able to help.


As has been said a writen summary might help speed up the process with anyone you get in touch with.
