Hi all

Continue to be out of my mind with all of this.

Can anybody say if they continued with the legal aid solicitor or if they ended up paying for a specialist firm? Legal aid guys don't seem very proactive and I can never get to speak to anybody there.

We are still with CPS and the wait is agonising. I am really not coping at all. He was 15, 18 now, surely they have to see that? Help!!!

We switched to a private solicitor after getting frustrated with the legal aid one who refused to do anything at all unless and until person was charged. We needed advice, and knew the solicitor would need time to build up the case, so we went private, and are so glad we did! Some people are lucky and get a good legal aid one, but if you are not one of those I would suggest you go private if you possibly can.
