It is always worth getting representation if you can, but you may struggle now that Legal Aid has been effectively withdrawn and you are already well into the appeal process, but it is still worth trying.

Where to get advice?

Failing that it is always worth having someone at the hearing with you, but do not expect your friend to be able to make any significant contribution to the proceedings as the vast majority of questions will be directed at you.

You might want to have a look at the following

Nothing on this board constitutes legal advice - always consult a professional about specific problems
