Affordable Professional McKenzie Friend - available at convenient times, including evenings and weekends.

Navigating family court can be stressful, overwhelming and costly. Whilst regulated lawyers can help, many people can't afford one, and Legal Aid is harder to access – leaving someone to represent themselves in court as a Litigant in person (LIP).

Family Court McKenzie Friend – Kent & London provides affordable, practical advocacy from Professional McKenzie Friends to help litigants in person navigate the family court with confidence. We provide step–by–step guidance so that your voice is heard at every stage.

" Where conversations empower those through the Family Court system."
