    I've sent you a DM
    This poster is entirely trustworthy: a solicitor (someone I know and have met in London), who is helping in certain cases pro bono (fee free) to make a difference and raise money for charity out of any costs recouped.
    PRIVATE 'PCN'? DON'T PAY BUT DON'T IGNORE IT (except N.Ireland).

  • Thanks so much everyone giving advice.  You are all incredibly generous people.  It really means a lot to me that you are ready and willing to give up your free time to help.  It is very much appreciated.  For those of us who don't do this on a regular basis it is very comforting to be able to run things by you all.
