The Government is proposing changes to legal aid and to the way lawyers work.
The proposal is that if you earn under £37k you get allocated a lawyer who may not be a specialist in your case, he may be lazy, or have no interest in your case.
If you earn higher than £37k, and can afford it, you can choose which lawyer you want.
So, basically, the more money you have, the better your lawyer might be.
There are also plans to cut the legal aid bill in criminal cases even more [most legal aid for civil cases such as neighbour disputes, and family law disputes has already been cut].
If you do not agree with all this, please could you sign the e-petition in the link. Thank you.
