reconsulted
Sought advice twice
Reconsulted is the past tense of reconsult, meaning to consult again—to return to a source, expert, or advisor for additional guidance or verification: She reconsulted the manual after the first attempt failed.
The word implies a previous consultation that proved insufficient or that circumstances have changed enough to warrant another look.
