If Mrs S didn't get an advocate there is a risk that once yours had 'done her stuff' and got you what you wanted, Mrs S would turn round and say 'that's not fair, I didn't know I could have help, I didn't understand what was going on...blah blah blah' and you could end up back at square one. I believe (though I'm not 100% certain) that solicitors and advocates are under a duty to advise the other side to get representation for this reason.
Good luck for today.
