MUSINGS FROM DIANE:
Be very careful about anyone who offers to help with your legal situation. The consequences of any dramatic event, like the COVID-19 virus, are the creation of thousands of scams intended for only one purpose – STEALING YOUR MONEY. Prior to the Internet we worried about local scams, but now the scams are coming from the other side of the world. Do your homework. Rely on government sites, not on the press (I cannot tell you how many times I have been misquoted by the press). Always double-check sources when you best friend tells you about a quick fix. Again, be very careful out there.
