"Pre-Settled Status + Long Absences: Can I Bring a Lawyer to UK Border Control?"

I have pre-settled status (valid until 2026) but haven’t lived in the UK continuously—just short visits (~1 month/year). I’ve heard Border Force can question residency.

1. Can I bring a lawyer to passport control if I’m flagged for long absences?
2. Has anyone been denied entry with pre-settled status for similar gaps?
3. Would showing bank statements/flight emails help if I lost boarding passes?

Context: I work abroad but want to keep visiting family. Not eligible for settled status yet.

Thanks for any advice!
