Claire McKeegan admits to being “in and out of police stations a lot”, but this is no career criminal we are talking about.

“Rarely does someone go to see a solicitor to discuss something great,” the 34-year-old Co Antrim woman told the Belfast Telegraph.
“Usually they’re highly stressed, and as a last resort they come to me.”
