The lawyer is also fake, and is part of the scam. Scammers invent many fake reasons for you to send money to them. You can read about some of these here:

Overview of Au Pair Scams

This scammer often pretends that you need to make a Proof of Sufficient Funds or Confirmation of Sufficient Travel Allowance by transferring money using Western Union or MoneyGram. This is bogus - the genuine UK Home Office never requests that proof of sufficient funds is made in this way.

If money is transferred by Western Union or Money Gram, and the details of the transfer, or a scan of the receipt, is sent to the scammer, the scammer will collect this money and steal it. The scammer is able to do this, regardless of which name the transfer is made to.

Never send any money by Western Union or Money Gram on the instruction of a host family, or on the instruction of anyone who they have introduced to you.
