Trained and Trusted McKenzie Friend Jamie Edkins

My journey to becoming a McKenzie friend with the family court process came from 4 key areas in my life:

1. Working with people in personal development and trauma based therapeutics.
2. As an elected Parish Councillor.
3. Community volunteering, helping people with consumer rights matters.
4. Acting as a McKenzie Friend for some criminal court matters.

I understand how to communicate effectively, how to organise & prepare paperwork, how to support people through what can be an intimidating process.

As an elected Parish Councillor, I've seen first hand how overwhelming "the system" can feel. I've assisted many people in many different situations, including keeping their homes when facing eviction with social housing providers.

These experiences taught me that having someone with you who understands both the procedures and your personal circumstances makes a huge difference.

It's your case which you are in charge of, but as your McKenzie Friend, my approach is to empower you with easily understandable knowledge, support you with practical help, and stand alongside you as you navigate the system.
