we are encouraging every one who has e mail access to sign up to the on line petition because the government is busy attacking legal aid. They want to reduce the total number of firms that offer criminal legal aid from 1600 to 400, prevent clients choosing their solicitor and confining us to work within county boundaries. They are also attacking barristers. The petition can be found at
http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/48628If the legal trade hadn't spent the last 20 years ripping the pi** out of the legal aid budget, then the cutbacks wouldn't have happened.
If anyone wants to see the depths of the problem I suggest they visit a magistrates court and see all the 'ambulance chasers'.
