    Sorry about that...and thank you very much for the replys.
    We have already received the Advice on appeal from the barrister. Sought advice from another barrister from the same chambers but he also said there are no grounds to appeal. We have listed out all the discrepancies in the statements but do not know whom to approach. Contacted Stephen Cooper after searching on the internet but after seeing the opinion in the forum, decided not to get his help. Were quite unsure of the service and also about the huge fees. It is more than a month now, so we are desperate to find the right person to help us...
    Any recommendations of a barrister specialized in the matters will be most helpful...

    I didn't ask whether there are grounds for appeal I realise they say there are none otherwise you would not be here.

    I advised this:

    First you need a written "Advice on Appeal" so ask your current solicitor for that.

    His solicitor advised no grounds of appeal as the cross examination could not take place properly due to restrictions on questioning child.But parents were giving contradictory statements which his barrister could not bring it up to the attention of jury.
    so just dont know if there is any chance for him ?which will be the best way and who is the best person
    it is over 28 days now and he was getting Legal aid till the trial.

    Then make a list of things that you think went wrong at the trial and see if that is enough for him to get legal aid.

    he was getting legal aid during his trial so now i dont know how the system works,will he still be able to get legal aid but the barrister said no grounds of appeal,they only considered 5 year olds statement as evidence.
    we are trying everything to prove his innocence but not able to find proper people or just literally dont know if there is any chance?

    Is he eligible for legal aid or would he have to pay privately?

    If privately please be careful as there are some sharks out there, who will charge a small fortune for doing not a lot.

    A person whom I know very well is been convicted of falsely accused by 5year old girl. Jury made decision from the girls statement, nothing else against the person.IS there any way to get an appeal?
    do not know whom to approach as not sure if the people are genuine or fraud,
