It'd would be in the UK.

We might finally have an Inquest for my fathers death and they're asking if we will be having legal representation.

Not having done this before I dont know , do we need one? How do we get one?

Sometimes the direct path is the best path. Go "hire" a lawyer, if only for an initial visit. You can learn LOTS in an hour.

Yeah but doesnt that cost a fortune Pepper?

Perhaps. Some lawyers in the USA give free consultations. We have "Legal Aid" companies here that focus on quality advice, with sliding fees that match what you can afford.

Look at it this way, if you DO need a lawyer for the inquest, the hour you pay for now will be just a part of the fee for the entire inquest.

Hmmm, just thought, we also have online legal sources here that help you do a lot of the work yourself. Why pay a lawyer's firm so their clerks can go stand in line at the court house to file motions when you can stand in line yourself at a fraction of the cost!

Hmmm, there are enough questions about legal stuff that it may be a good idea to have legal aid phone numbers on the FAQ page!

    I'm not really sure how to phrase this, so I apologize in advance!My school counsellor says she thinks that I have depression and has told me to seek help from my parents, but my parents don't believe in mental sicknesses. The only time I've been to a therapist was when they wanted to 'get rid' of my social anxiety and general anxiety. I only went to a couple sessions before they stopped it...
