21/04/26 Carlton from Northolt about McKenzie Friend Nigel Yates


I cannot recommend Nigel Yates highly enough for his support during my child arrangements case. The preparation he provided leading up to my hearing was exceptional.

From the outset, Nigel helped me understand the process clearly, He supported me in preparing my documents, structuring my approach, and framing everything in a way that was appropriate for both CAFCASS and the court.

What stood out most was his consistent support throughout—not just before the hearing, but also afterwards. He took the time to follow up, explain next steps, and help me process the outcome in a constructive and focused way.

I would strongly recommend Nigel to anyone navigating family court proceedings who needs reliable, knowledgeable, and supportive guidance.

Rosie has been an incredible support in helping me in family court. Firstly, it has been extremely helpful to speak with her regarding my situation, I feel able to speak honestly, without judgment. She has supported me with writing my position and witness statement and given me fantastic guidance on what will happen, plus the cost for her time has been extremely fair, even generous. I can see she has an understanding of people and her knowledge of the court system, have been immeasurable for me and I feel very lucky to have found Rosie and that she was able to come with me to court.

I was completely lost and did not know where to turn, sitting on a boat in the middle of the north sea searching the web. I then came across McKenzie friendsby chance online. I sent an email and was reached out to the next day.

Having spoken to Natalka for half an hour I was in a much better head space with some information and a plan. That itself was worth its weight in gold.

I am still at the beginning of my journey but no longer feel over whelmed or lost as I have Natalka there to run things past. I cannot recommend her enough as she has been a blessing so far.

15/04/26 Emily from Chudleigh about Lisa and Karen


I cannot recommend Lisa highly enough. As my McKenzie Friend solicitor, she went truly above and beyond in supporting me in my divorce from an abusive partner. Coming from a low-income background, I was incredibly worried about navigating the legal process on my own. Lisa not only brought exceptional knowledge and professionalism, but also compassion, patience, and unwavering support. She took the time to explain everything clearly and her dedication made a situation that felt overwhelming and isolating much more manageable. Thanks to her expertise and commitment, I was able to successfully complete my divorce and move forward with my life.


If you are looking for someone who genuinely cares, fights for you, and delivers outstanding support, Lisa is simply exceptional.

01/04/26 Lee from Portsmouth About McKenzie Friend Lisa and Karen


I had the pleasure of working with both Lisa and Karan, during a very difficult time as a single parent navigating the family court process. From the very beginning, they were supportive, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about how the court system works.

As a single parent, the process felt overwhelming and stressful, but having someone there to guide me through the paperwork, explain what to expect in court, and help me stay organised made a huge difference. They were patient, approachable, and always took the time to make sure I understood each step.

What stood out the most was their genuine care and understanding. They recognised the emotional strain that comes with family proceedings and provided reassurance while still remaining clear and practical in their advice. Their support gave me confidence when speaking in court and helped me present my case much more clearly.

I would highly recommend their services to any parent, especially single parents who may feel alone or unsure about navigating the legal system. Having a McKenzie Friend by your side can make the process far less intimidating, and the support I received was invaluable.

I requested help of a Mackenzie friend and was contacted by Anna within 10 mins.

Before I spoke to Anna I felt completely lost and in panic as my first court appearance was just 10 days away and perpetration had not been done. We had a very good conversation about what things I needed to do and information I needed to gather. Anna assisted me in all my paperwork, answered any questions I had and always responded to my emails promptly with the relevant information i required. She also accompanied me to my court hearing, explaining everything along the way helped me feel calm and confident that I knew what to say and helped me if there was anything I might have missed or forgot . Her knowledge was that of a highly trained professional. She was clam and smoothing and mostly helped me be comfortable and confident
. I will be using Anna again in the future and would highly recommend her services to anyone.

From the first call and throughout, Debbie was understanding and did not rush any of our conversations. I found her to be timely with the completion of forms and statements and when she said she would call. A £400 + VAT family law solicitor from whom I sought advice stated that Debbie's written statement to the court was 'excellent'. On the hearing date, Debbie was very supportive and reassuring. She has a wealth of knowledge, manages expectations very well without causing a loss of hope, and listens compassionately. I have no doubt about giving my full recommendation for the help and support Debbie is able to provide.

30/03/26 Karen from Rugby About McKenzie Friend Lisa and Karen



After initially appointing a solicitor to act on my behalf, I found that it was going to cost me more than I could comfortably afford, so I opted for the assistance of Family Harmony, who in my opinion provide all that you need to see you through the court process and more at a fraction of the cost of a solicitor, I was reassured and felt at ease from the beginning and throughout the process, the responses I received were always prompt and extremely helpful, I was fortunate enough to have had a resolution after the initial court hearing and therefore my McKenzie Friend was not required to attend court on my behalf but I would most definitely have requested this assistance should it have proceeded to another hearing. The support I received before, during and after the case has been exceptional and I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone who finds themselves in the same situation, to Family Harmony.

Anna was a life saver. Her help and advice saved my case in my upcoming final hearing, FDR. Not being able to use the services of a Solicitor or Barrister due to financial difficulties, I contacted McKenzie Friend and I promptly received a response from Anna. I was extremely close to my hearing date and Anna helped me to sort out the most important papers to file immediately and then helped me work through the rest and get it all filed in time.


The hearing went very well and I have emerged after 2.5 years of legal fighting on top and with a very fair outcome. I would not have been so confident going into the hearing without Anna’s help. Anna is worth her weight in gold. Good luck to anyone else in the same position, I wish the best for everyone. Thank you Anna

24/11/25 Stretch from Staffordshire about McKenzie Friend Siobhan Jarvis


Siobhan has been an amazing support, in preparation and running through MY bundle and giving helpful tips has been invaluable. The difference of a McKenzie friend has been different to a solicitor - which generally embarked upon creating more paid work - this wasn't the case for me by using a McKenzie friend as I can "call the shots" / control the money etc. Most court processes when self representing are exhausting - and I was exhausted. Siobhan gave me uplift. I was fed up and considered walking away from the process to see my children. Meeting Siobhan changed this. She reviewed my bundle and added suggestions, she came to court with me - what Id have to say there is I had rightly been surrounded by people who where emotionally involved and that is tiring. My McKenzie friend picked that up and I felt listened to rather than questioned.

She has consistently gone the extra mile to make sure I’m well prepared and supported, often anticipating what needs to be done before I even ask. Always ensuring that I meet important deadlines and present my arguments clearly and coherently. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine care have made a real difference during what has been a very stressful and complex process. I would wholeheartedly recommend Anna to anyone seeking reliable, knowledgeable, and compassionate support.

Anna has been so professional, knowledgeable and understanding from our first conversation up to my first hearing. I wished I had known about her sooner. Unlike a solicitor, which I had to dispense with due to running out of money to cover the costs, there is support and empathy. No offence to solicitors but it’s strictly business and the bill quickly builds up before you even get to court if you’re not careful.

I found Anna through an online search, and although I had consulted two other McKenzie Friends for consideration, it was Anna who reached out to me, offering a free initial consultation and, above all, genuine support and compassion. Her empathetic attitude, kindness, and professionalism have continued throughout my case. Most importantly, her presence at the hearing was deeply reassuring — I felt prepared, composed, and confident thanks to the time and dedication she devoted to helping me present my case effectively.

I can’t thank Lisa Hiddleston enough for the incredible support she provided me throughout my family court proceedings. As my McKenzie Friend, Lisa was a lifeline during one of the most challenging times in my life.


She produced a well-written, detailed, and powerful statement on my behalf, making sure every key point was captured. No phone call, question, or issue was ever too much trouble for her—she was always available, approachable, and genuinely committed to helping. I never once felt like an inconvenience, which is rare and invaluable when you're going through something as emotionally draining as family court.


With extremely limited funds and no access to legal aid, I truly believe this is one of the best options available. Lisa’s help wasn’t just professional—it was compassionate, and it made a real difference.



I’m incredibly grateful for everything she has done and would highly recommend exploring this option if you're struggling with family court. People like Lisa are rare, and I’m thankful she was there when I needed it most.

Dan has provided stead fast practical and emotional support, he has attended court hearings with me and again explained the process to me guided me so I felt confident, comfortable to express the information required without becoming overwhelmed. Dan offered regular telephone input throughout this time.

I cannot recommend Deborah Jones highly enough as a McKenzie Friend. From the start she has been incredibly supportive, helpful, and knowledgeable. Her thorough approach and clear guidance made what could have been a very stressful period feel manageable.

As a litigant in person, navigating the court process on my own is, at times, quite overwhelming, but Deborah’s expertise and calm reassurance gives me the confidence I need to get on with it. She explains everything thoroughly, ensures I am well prepared and is always there to answer questions and provide encouragement promptly.

Her professionalism, attention to detail and genuine care makes all the difference. I would not have managed the process thus far if it wasn't for Deborah. If you are looking for a McKenzie Friend who is really there for you, really knows her stuff and goes above and beyond then get in touch with Deborah.

Nigel reached out from my enquiry and from the beginning offered a warm, friendly relaxed introduction through the free 30 minutes consultation.

Nigel has made himself available at times to suit myself and my partner around work and child commitments and that flexibility has been invaluable to us as a working family.

In terms of the cases Nigel is helping us with, he is helping with both a child arrangements and non molestation order as applicants. In both cases Nigel has offered up valuable advice and taken time to research things to ensure that advice is as accurate as possible. As a litigant in person in both cases, Nigel has made the at times daunting and exhausting requirements of the court, along with the at times antiquated language used by courts in correspondence and orders, much easier to deal with and is able to explain things in a much simpler way.

Me and partner are incredibly grateful Nigel has, and continues, to support us as our McKenzie friend, I genuinely believe without his support both cases would have been withdrawn by now due to the difficulty and barriers individuals with no legal training or experience come up against.

16/07/25 Sonny from Chichester about Safina Bibi


There are no words strong enough, deep enough, or worthy enough to fully capture what this woman has done for me and my boys — but I’ll try.

When I was at the lowest point a man can hit — facing the loss of my children, my home, my family, and almost my will to go on — SAFINA stepped in. Not because she had to. Not for gain. But because her heart is built for battle, and her soul doesn’t accept injustice.


She dismantled a false non-molestation order, faced down overconfident solicitors who thought they had it in the bag, and stood firm in truth until a judge dismissed the entire case. Just like that — my rights as a father, as a man, were restored.



You’re family to me now. You always will be. From my whole soul, and on behalf of the two beautiful little lives you fought for — thank you. You’ll never be forgotten.

She was worth every penny and would highly recommended her to anyone going to court and representing themselves. She was ready to assist if and when required. She assisted when I had to go into a side room with the Ex husband to talk through and come to an agreement. Can’t recommend enough. Very worthwhile support.

Daniel is the McKenzie friend I never knew I needed, until I needed him. Dan has been excellent throughout my ordeal of outlandish lies from the mother of my children, aggressive and complicit solicitors, and the slow and arduous court process. Dan’s perspective and experience gave light and honesty in seemingly unknowing and dark times. Dan’s realism mixed with compassion was welcomed as I took steps into the unknown road to perdition, or that’s what was running through my mind. However as Dan has lived through the process, the recommendations, assistance and timeline of scenarios he provided gave me great reassurance. His services and experience are invaluable and were well needed, as solicitor talk and their nonchalant attitude at times was not helping to keep my mind at peace. Dan provided excellent advice and draft statements and other pieces of notary works. In summary Daniel Wilson is good man, who I highly recommend.

Deborah has supported me through my divorce, firstly with free initial consultation and then ongoing, with help completing all court forms required, and the court process. Deborah also attended the final hearing and kept a cool head while I was struggling and asked questions when I was unable too. I would highly recommend Deborah, she is not only good at what she does but also a lovely person but she is not afraid to tell you the truth even if it might not be what you want to hear and you need that through this awful process.
