Dear
@Godswill,
thank you for addressing your situation here in the community.
AS for your question:
1. in regards of the appeal you have to wait;
2. The lawyers can get the financial assistance for the cost from the state( Prozesskostenbeihilfe) in these cases you do not need to pay.
I hope I could help you, if you need further guidance please let us know.
Best regards,
Nilab
