Hi dad2spot, I know lawyers are law to themselves, because they can charge what ever they like as most of them are self employed, is there no a system in your country like legal Aid? it for people who cannot aford a lawyer and the goverment pay the lawyer. Its just terriable for you. I am sorry. Tamara

Most lawyers will do a free consult. You need to shop around.

Yes, lawyers are very expensive. If you go to court with out a lawyer, you may be able to get a public defender which then you don't have to pay, depending on your income.
