Hi everyone,

To introduce myself: I was convicted a few years ago and was sentenced to a community order. I have a law degree and, and as you can imagine, I found getting work within the sector very difficult. I also didn't want to study post-graduate because of the fear of disclosing my conviction to universities. So, I widened my knowledge of EU Law and emigrated. I plan on returning once my conviction is spent but at the moment I have quite a happy life.

I'm here primarily to offer advice to others on legal issues. The feeling of being powerless is horrible. I hope to make members here feel a little more in control by offering what advice I can. It is disappointing that with the new rules I am limited on what advice I can give.
