Yes, there will be big differences after 10/17. One of them will be that
your attorney won't file your case for the fee and costs they quoted you
before 10/17.

ha ha... legal aid!!! i tried getting legal aid a few years ago, as i am
a younger widow. i wanted to do a will & also wanted in writing tat my
daughter gets my house & she has to pay my son so much if i die...I live
in Pa. & called the legal aid society...i was told that was a luxury &
legal aid is only for if you get in trouble or arrested & don't have the
money for a lawyer !!!!
