Odd request
« on: May 23, 2009, 05:56:16 AM »
Someone has requested help about something I'm not particularly knowledgeable about, so I'm hoping someone here knows something:

Does anyone know much about Freedom of Information Act Requests, and legal help available?

The problem being he doesnt have much money, and he's having a hard time finding anyone to give him info on lawyers willing to do it.  He's actually having trouble finding any lawyers who are knowledgeable about FoiA requests at all.

I assume you mean the American one, rather than the annoyingly identically named British one?  If so, I'm afraid I have no idea.
