What a McKenzie Friend Does

Professional Support Without the Cost of Full Solicitor Representation

A McKenzie Friend provides practical support when you are representing yourself in court. I can help you understand the process, organise your evidence and case papers, prepare clear court documents and hearing notes, and quietly advise you during a hearing.

 

Having supported clients through hundreds of Family Court cases, I offer a professional service built around thorough preparation, clear explanations and consistent support throughout your proceedings.

 

I work in partnership with you at every stage. You remain involved and in control of your case, while I help you understand what is happening, prepare thoroughly and approach each step with greater clarity and confidence. From the first court papers through to the final hearing, you have someone who knows your case and is there to support you throughout.

How We Work Together

Every client and case is different. I take time to understand your circumstances, explain the process clearly and agree a practical plan tailored to the stage your case has reached.

1

Free Initial Consultation

We begin with a free 30-minute phone or video consultation to discuss your circumstances, where your case has reached and how I may be able to help.

2

Understand Your Case & Priorities

I review the relevant information and court papers, identify any urgent deadlines and clarify the issues that need attention first.

3

Agree A Clear Plan

Before any work begins, we agree the priorities, scope and likely timescales. I then work with you to prepare the necessary applications, evidence, statements or hearing materials.

4

Support At Every Stage

You can use my support for a single task or work with me throughout your proceedings and hearings. Either way, you remain in control and have clear, consistent support whenever you need it.
