Please sign the e-petition below - if the government have their way 1200 criminal legal aid solicitors firms will close in England leaving only 400 England wide and only 38 in Greater Manchester. They also want to take away choice - meaning anybody thats arrested will be allocated a solicitor - they WILL NOT have a choice. Thousands of solicitors and support staff will be out of jobs with no hope of getting a job in the field that they were highly trained but poorly paid for. I'm not complaining, those who do Criminal Legal Aid work were never well paid but from next summer thousands wont be paid at all including us. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE sign the petition. All those who know Vic - can you really see him on a checkout at Tesco???? Time is running out. http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/48628

The MOJ should not proceed with their plans to reduce access to justice by depriving citizens of legal aid or the right to representation by the Solicitor of their choice
