HI CONOR,I BOUGHT A  PROPERTY IN MILAN WITH A LOAN FROM MY PARENTS, AND HAD WORK CARRIED OUT BY A BUILDER WHO TOOK AND VERY LONG TIME AND DID NOT COMPLETE THE WORK, I WITHHELD HIS FINAL PAYMENT AND NOW HE HAS ANOTHER BILL ON TOP WHICH IS WORK I DID NOT AUTHORIZE OR HAD ANY KNOWLEDGE OF.  I GAVE HIM AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPLETE THE WORK AND RETURN MY KEYS WHICH HE DID NOT DO, SO I FINALLY HAD LOCKS CHANGED.  THE BUILDER IS NOW BRINGING CHARGES AGAINST ME, AND THE MONEY I WAS TO GIVE HIM I HAVE NOW SPENT ON SEEKING LEGAL ADVICE IN WITH AN ENGLISH LAWYER.  I AM CURRENTLY A STUDENT IN MILAN AND NEED HELP FROM SOMEONE WHO SPEAKS ENGLISH IN EITHER A NO WIN NO FEE BASIS OR LEGAL AID.
