A: Yes, you can find a less expensive lawyer. You can also try Legal Aid to see if they can assist you. I don't recommend that you convert it yourself. Good Luck!

A: You can hire a less expensive lawyer. You can also do it yourself but I highly recommend not doing so. It is quite technical and you will be billed to the same standard as a lawyer if you do.
