Re: legal fes
If as is not uncommon you are unable to obtain public funding (legal aid) you will be responsible for the costs of any legal representation you choose to instruct. Whether those instructed would agree to postpone payment until you receive a settlement is a matter for negotiation with them but I have to say in my experience this would be unusual.
Let us know if we can help you further.
