Here are some of the people we have helped in the last couple of months. The details are genuine but the names of clients have been changed to protect their identity.
Daniel requested an initial consultation with a barrister. He was being taken to court in relation to a property dispute. After identifying the help that he needed he requested a how-to guide detailing the legal procedures. He received specific information about when a case could be struck out and the how to make a counterclaim.
Daniel: "Thank you so much. I don't know what I would've done without Can't Afford a Lawyer's help."
Ali had recieved a summons after speeding. This was not his first offence and he was concerned about "totting up". He requested a how-to guide in relation representing himself at the Magistrates' court. The whole process was explained to him. He subsequently requested a law report on the "exceptional hardship" test.
Ali: "Thanks for your quick responses. I have found the information extremely useful."
Tony wanted to know if he could claim damages under the Human Rights Act. Can't Afford a Lawyer could not advise him, but a law report set out examples of when claims have been made. It cited case law relating to his subject and alternative solutions to situations such as this.
Tony: "Many thanks for the info. I've just arranged an appointment with a solicitor."
