What is a McKenzie Friend?
A McKenzie Friend is an amazing ally in court, during family law cases! They provide invaluable support and guidance, helping you navigate legal processes, take notes, and offer emotional encouragement along the way. Named after the groundbreaking McKenzie case in the UK, this role allows individuals to have a trusted companion by their side without needing a qualified lawyer. It's a fantastic option for those representing themselves, known as litigants in person, making the journey feel a little less daunting!

A McKenzie Friend can provide invaluable support during legal proceedings by offering guidance and emotional reassurance. They help you navigate the complexities of the court system, ensuring you understand your rights and options.

Real Stories, Real Results
Excellent service. Kat helped me with my divorce. She completed all paperwork and all I had to do was sign some forms throughout the whole process. The fees she charged were a fraction of the costs I had been quoted elsewhere. I was unsure at first as she is not a solicitor but I could not fault the service provided by Kat and do not believe a solicitor would have offered any better service. I totally recommend anyone uses her if they want an expert affordable service.
MATT K.
Excellent service by Kat during my Child Custody case. Things were so bad between my son's mam and me we could not agree on anything and I never saw my son for over a year. With Kat's help I have been to court and got regular access ordered by the court with the aim to increase to overnight stays in the near future.
