Why choose a McKenzie Friend?

McKenzie friends are helping thousands of people with affordable support for their family court cases, and are with increasing frequency becoming the 'go to' choice for Litigants-In-Person. This is especially the case since legal aid cuts meant that solicitor representation became something that only the wealthy can afford. Indeed, a recent report indicated that 57% of people going through family courts opted to reject the support of a traditional lawyer in favour of self representation, often relying upon a McKenzie friend to assist and offer advice on points of law and support.
