.... probably professional. If your (or your friend's) clients will depend
on this database to stay out of prison, and you (or your friend) will
depend on it to stay in work, then don't you think it would be a good idea
to start with someone who knows what they are doing?

Sorry to sound negative, but this sounds like a really scary way to run a
solicitor's office...

Best wishes

I have to agree with Tim. If I had a fairly complex legal problem to
solve, I'd be inclined to consult a professional attorney rather than
winging it on my own with some amateur help (even with support from a
legal professional's newsgroup).

Don't go cheap on this: cheap is expensive, often!
