You should NOT be handling this yourself. This isn't meant to be harsh or sarcastic but from your posts - it's just a fact.

Where exactly did you read this? It would appear that reading is not one of your stronger suits. Noorah and Janadeen have both advised you that the G-28 is completed by your attorney, trust them on that.
You have also been advised to call Catholic Charities as you have no other means to engage an attorney. Have you done this? As you haven't given your location here are a few links to these organisations. You will find similar in your area by searching Google or your local phone book.

The couple of lawyers that you spoke to, and the 50 thru out Ohio that you contacted, NONE of them deal in payment plans? Not one?
What of your wife's resources - does she work?
It's perfectly fine if you don't want to share - totally understnad - but I'll ask anyway.

I also spoke to a couple of lawyers too and they confirmed that the I-130 should still be valid.

What I was wondering was if I submitted the I-485 and then later got an attorney, can I submit the G-28 (or can the laywer submit it) at a later stage. Wait...don't tell me...I need to ask a lawyer that question right!

I am in Ohio, that's why I contacted lawyers in Ohio. Perhaps reading is not one of your stronger suits

Reading - Perhaps not, but then I'm not the one asking for help am I

Don't know what or where the problem is but I did read your post that you are not a comprehensive reader. The instruction sheets tell you exactly what documents are needed to go with each one and in that regard are simple enough.
Don't know what your complications are other than having previously filed for AOS and then not followed up on an RFE, left the country and then returned and are remaining to try to adjust status once again. While I find it difficult to believe that you re-entered without having the thought of staying here in your mind, that does not mean that the examiner will think the same, although they might and that is certainly a very big complication.
You've yet to touch on the affidavit of support. If your wife is not working and has your family includes kids, can she qualify for the financial sponsorship of you as an immigrant? If not, do you have a joint sponsor in line to fulfill the requirement?
Perhaps you might be best off returning to the UK and returning back to work and doing the finalization of adjustment through the US Consulate in London with your previously approved I-130. This way you can have some money to play with and return to the US as a resident.

It just occurred to me, that the OP is saying he has applied for AOS before (doesn't say how long ago, but shouldn't have been too long since the I-130 is supposedly still valid). Yet here he is asking for direction in how to do it (how many G-325A's and such).
Wouldn't the OP already know what to do, considering he's done it once before? And hopefully kept copies of what they previously submitted?
To the OP, if the only thing wrong with your previous AOS was that it was lacking the medical, then just do exactly the same thing you did before, but this time include the medical. Easy as that.

I don't see anywhere on any of the forms i'm submitting that the co-sponsor has to submit a G-325-A!!!
I still don't see how you come up with three for me. The I-485 requires me to complete one G-325-A. The I-130 requires one G-325-A for me and another for my spouse.
It doesn't say anything about G-325-A on the I-864 affidavit of support form.
Sorry to still be going on about this but I just wanted to clarify.
