I've had offers from The Law Centre and CA to represent me at tribunal. Who should I pick?

I was pleasantly surprised to receive an email from The Law Centre offering to represent me at a Tribunal. They've recommend a face to face one. Late in the day I also had the Citizens Advice say they would represent me (originally they said they couldn't do it). They've recommend a phone conference tribunal at the office. I now don't know who to go with. CA know my case and have represented me before and I am considering a phone tribunal as it will take perhaps a year for a face to face one. What should I do?

    @TeddyB22 if the ca know you and they can do a phone tribunal  maybe you should stick with the ca 

    The choice is yours though

    I'd go for the law centre...  But maybe my past experiences of CA has swayed that!  

    I don't think it's worth waiting for the face to face though, would they allow you the telephone one instead?

    @OverlyAnxious you would have to ask the law center

    @OverlyAnxious the law center gives advice over the phone and face time if that's any help I just looked on line
