Hi,
My solicitor engaged a barrister who lost my case. I said I wasn't happy with the barrister's performance and wanted to appeal. My solicitor then engaged the services of another barrister, from the same firm as the original barrister, to provide advice on whether I should appeal. She advised against it.
With hindsight, I don't think it was ethical to ask a barrister from the same firm as her opinion may have been biased in support of her colleague. Do you have any opinion on this situation please?
