Lack of funds is probably once of the most common reasons for refusal of a spouse visa. Which country is your husband applying from...some are tougher than others? Is he employed in his own country at present , as the ECO will also look at his work history? I think that your solicitor is right. There would be little point in appealing if you can't show that the ECO was wrong in saying that you don't have sufficient funds without a job to support your husband. If you are on benefits, and until your husband can find work here, you would need to claim more benefits in order to survive...which is why they have found it easy to refuse you the visa.
