Boris K about McKenzie
Friend Dan Wilson Original Edited due to
length
Despite being a lawyer by profession, I have
no previous experience in the family court. Dan
Wilson has been fantastic. My natural instincts
were to defend myself and prove every single
allegation made by the mother to be false. After
reading my allegations against the mother and my
reply to the mother's allegations, Dan simply
advised that I withdraw my allegations and avoid
giving the mother's allegations credibility by
defending each and every single one. Dan pointed
out that best thing I could do was to reduce
conflict and he pointed out that dealing with
allegations in an adversarial way only increases
conflict. I must say that it felt like a leap of
faith withdrawing my allegations and only
focusing on some of the mother's allegations ----
and it paid off, ---- it was decided no finding
of fact hearing was necessary,'
I am very pleased with the support and
'advice' given by Dan. I plan to continue to use
his services. -----I would not hesitate to
recommend Dan to the next passenger on the family
court train. Thank you Dan.

Avri about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend I strongly endorse
McKenzie Friend, Sundeep Gill. He helped me
through the toughest time of my life going
through family court.
Whereas, with a solicitor or barrister, you
receive the necessary support, with Sundeep I
received empathetic and compassionate support and
advice. He was accessible throughout the week and
at weekends when emergencies or emotional lows
struck.
Sundeep learned my case like the back of his
hands, and assisted me where needed including
looking at the draft orders and advice on
rectifying them. I felt that my children was his
primary concern. I was happy to hear if he
disagreed with my views, helping me stay child
focused and not get embroiled in a battle, which
can be all to easy to do. I know for a fact you
dont get this with a solicitor.
I could not have been more satisfied. Sundeep
exhibits utmost professionalism, great oral and
written communication skills, demonstrating an
extensive understanding of family law and a keen
awareness of the potential tactics employed by
the opposing legal team.

Adam W about McKenzie
Friend Dave Barma Dave is knowledgeable and
reliable, and has provided me with a service I
wouldn't have been able to obtain without the
steep endless feed of a solicitor. He is very
understanding and has the best interests of his
clients at heart. He has been extremely helpful
throughout the process and has given me a lot of
confidence moving forward. I highly recommend.

Friend Nicola Wolff Nicki Wolff was
incredibly supportive and professional when
helping me with my case. I would most definitely
recommend her to anyone. She had a good
understanding of my situation and her advice and
professionalism was excellent. She was calm and
confident in her approach.
I built such a positive relationship with Nicki
and in return she gave the time, care, honesty,
and still managed to be available every step of
the way.

Louise B about McKenzie
Friend Angela Kanwar For the last 2 years I
have felt utterly hopeless, I have felt that I
had no where to turn to support. I paid a lot of
money for a solictor who was great. But I still
felt so anxious and like there was no way out.
Angeli had been supporting me for less than a
month and already I have a clear plan, and every
time I get a official email which would normally
send me in to panic attacks and anxiety Angeli
has made a call to me even if that has been a
hour or 3 minutes and it has taken that all away.
She is so professional and has a possitive, but
factual outlook. Her support with my Dv has made
the situation so much better for me and my child.
And I can't thank her enough. There is hope even
when it feels like there is no way out!

Lucy E about McKenzie
Friend Michelle Michelle helped read my
position statement and spoke with me before my
first hearing with my ex partner . In this
hearing she made me feel much more able to deal
with the situation, explained the process , dealt
with my conflicting emotions and totally
understood me where others would not , had they
not experienced it for themselves . A court date
is highly upsetting , stressful and unknown to
most of us . Michelle gave me the strength to go
ahead and achieve my desired outcome , to protect
myself , my family and my property for the future
, I would not hesitate again to ask her for her
amazing assistance . She is a diamond in a sea of
depression , sadness , unhappiness and worry .
Shes a true angel , ultimate professional
in her field and made the process as good as it
could be for me.

Kamrul H about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend What a superstar.
From the get go you could tell Sundeep knew what
he was talking about, he made me look at things
from a more legal standpoint and helped me
prepare documents for my next hearing. I am so
glad I reached out to Phil and his team as a
result of watching a video on his page which was
exactly what was happening to me. Sundeep
listened, helped me focus and prepare a great
statement and I look forward to using him going
forward until my case comes to a conclusion.
Thank you Sundeep, I really appreciate it. Props
to you and the team Phil, you are doing a
fantastic job for people like me who cannot
afford legal representation.

Steve R about McKenzie
Friend Curtis Clarke Curtis Clarke's
exceptional support as a McKenzie Friend
surpassed all expectations. His reliability and
dedication were evident throughout, providing
invaluable advice on a non-molestation order.
Curtis's non-judgmental nature and willingness to
go the extra mile, offering both professional
guidance and personal support, were truly
remarkable. His professionalism and commitment
ultimately led to the successful outcome I
desired. Curtis Clarke is a standout McKenzie
Friend, and I cannot recommend his services
highly enough.

Becci about McKenzie
Friend Gemma I honestly can not recommend
Gemma enough. She was able to fit us in last
minute to assist with a final hearing in a child
matter. We were up against a barrister for the
other side and still came out with almost
everything we wanted! Everything went smoothly
and nothing was too much trouble for her. She
always responds to emails and texts as soon as
she can. And she just makes you feel so at ease.
It still feels unreal that its over and
its thanks to Gemmas amazing
professional support! It is a fraction of what we
had already had to spend on solicitors and we got
more achieved with her!

children first.

Carl about McKenzie
Friend Dave Barma I reached out to Dave
seeking assistance with my Child Arrangements
case, and from our initial interactions, I've
been truly impressed. Dave's approachability,
politeness, and extensive knowledge in this field
have made our communication seamless. He
articulates complex legal concepts in a manner
that's easily understandable, demonstrating both
expertise and effective communication skills.
Dave's punctuality and efficiency have been
noteworthy; he's consistently been there exactly
when needed, ensuring our progress has been both
timely and thorough. As we move towards the stage
of preparing court statements, I have full
confidence that his work will be of the highest
standard.
In summary, my experience with Dave Barma has
been nothing short of exceptional thus far, and I
anticipate this level of professionalism and
support will persist as we navigate through the
remaining stages of this process.

Owen L about McKenzie
Friend Michelle Michelle has been amazing
offering guidance and support through a stressful
time. Knowing how and when to deal with
solicitors who are trying to antagonise the
situation has been priceless. Michelle has also
pointed me in direction of additional financial
support available to myself and family that was
previously unaware of. After spending 1000s on
solicitors initially I never felt like myself and
daughters welfare was being supported
holistically as it is now with Michelle. Can
highly recommend to others!

David W about McKenzie
Friend Dave Barma I think what is really
vitally important is to feel that someone is
actually listening to you and taking into account
the impact any situation could be having on your
own mental health and how life changing things
can be. I am a person and wish to be treated as a
person with feelings, emotions, fears etc. and I
have to say that Dave Barma was instantly
supportive and tuned into all those mixed
emotions and feelings I was having due to the
impact of what is happening in my life. It is
also nice to have someone who is trying to be
much more straight forward and honest about the
processes and how things can take much longer
than indicated. I feel I have someone who is
going to keep me informed of every stage and just
much calmer about everything. Dave is very
approachable and everything is based on what help
and support I need and at a time convenient to
both of us but with huge flexibility. I feel I am
now on a journey with someone who intends to be
there with me, rather than feeling I am all on my
own and I have no way of controlling any of that
said journey. Thank you.

Kulvinder S about McKenzie
Friend Dave Barma Position Statement for
Child arrangements court hearing
I needed help with writing a good position
statement as decided to self represent due to
wasting so much money on solicitors and
barristers during my case. I contacted Dave Barma
after initially seeing the YouTube video for
McKenzie Friends. The service was excellent, very
good communication, speedy response and the
charges were made clear upfront and I think they
are very reasonable compared to solicitors and
barristers. I was able to write a very good
position statement with help from Dave.

Friend Dave Barma I've had the pleasure of
working with Dave, and I must say, his positive
attitude, friendly demeanor, and readiness to
assist are truly commendable. Dave has been a
valuable resource for me.
One of the standout aspects of his service is its
affordability compared to traditional solicitors.
Not only is it cost-effective, but it also
provides a greater sense of security, making it
an excellent alternative to the conventional
legal route.
Dave's in-depth understanding of the court system
and his well-informed advice have been invaluable
throughout our partnership. His friendly and calm
personality makes collaborating with him a
breeze, and his professionalism is truly
top-notch.
I am thoroughly pleased with the experience of
working with Dave, and without hesitation, I
highly recommend him for any of your court
hearing needs. Dave is a dedicated professional
who is sure to deliver outstanding service.

Friend David Barma I couldn't ask for more
from Dave, he's been excellent so far! From day 1
he's been a massive help. Seems to know the
process and I'd say is the perfect person to have
on your side! Would definitely recommend!
Thanks again Dave!

Scott J about McKenzie
Friend David BarmaDave Barma has been
fantastic throughout my case, which is still
ongoing. Dave's support and guidance has allowed
me to progress through each phase knowing that I
am being safeguarded by his court knowledge.
Unfortunately, some organisations that work
alongside the courts (Cafcass) do not have the
fathers best interests at heart, therefore,
having Dave around has safeguarded me and my
case. Without this knowledge I feel my case would
not be as strong as it is now. In addition, Dave
is very thorough with his work and is very
honest.. |

Jack F about about McKenzie
Friend Dave Barma Firstly, I would like to
thank Dave for all his hard work and time he has
put in to help me with my court case and
paperwork, having dyslexia can be a struggle but
having Dave by my side and helping me step by
step has helped me a lot and Dave will tell you
more information then a solicitor would, he
generally cares about you and he actually cares
about you putting forward a good case to the
court and I don't think I could've done it
without him

He was very understanding and put my mind at ease
with the upcoming court case.
Dave is very knowledgable and gave great advice,
he was there when I had any questions and replied
quickly.
Would recommend him to anyone needing help in the

due to high costs but your support made sure that
I could make informed decisions myself. Your
advice was clear and unambiguous.

Amanda H About McKenzie
Friend Safina Bibi Dear Safina.
Im writing to you to give my thanks.
Your advice has directed me to include very
valuable details regarding my financial
resolution case whilst self representing. It
enabled me to include crucial details within my
S25 statement which was not available to me in my
own research.
You have th actual real
lifeexperience in this area which is
something I found very helpful indeed.
I could come to you with my research and you were
able to give me you professional clarity on my
work which provided me with the confidence and
reassurance that I had prepared as fully as I
could myself.
Self representation is extremely traumatic and
you have an excellent balance of compassion and
understanding that is personal and professional,
something so necessary in those times of
worry and uncertainty.
You have always been there if I needed you for
anything and you are always reliable. I person I
would recommend to anybody who is facing
uncertainty and needs a good knowledgeable &
savvy person to help them.

Lauren about McKenzie
Friend Dave Barma Honestly can't thank Dave
enough for his help and professional guidance. I
would have struggled to fight for my children if
it wasn't for him guiding me through and telling
me how to go about things. I've never had to deal
with anything like this before and he has just
put me at ease with it all and I feel a lot more
confident going forward. I would have really
struggled to pay solicitors fees but Dave's fees
are a lot less and he only charges me for things
that are needed. I wouldn't go with anyone else
now. Thank you so much

Becky W about McKenzie
Friend Lynne James What can I say. You will
never get the same support from a solicitor!
The emotional support and strength that Lynne
gave me was out of this world. I would never, as
a victim of domestic abuse, have had the strength
to represent myself in three hearings whist my
ex-husband had a barrister represent him at all
three, without the support of Lynne.
Lynne
was able to give me up to date information about
the case. She meticulously helped me scrutinise
all the evidence, discrepancies, and paperwork
that I had to go through.
I wouldnt have been able to get through the
case without Lynne and the emotional support she
gave me. Having the professional support AND
emotional support is something that I never
thought I would be able to get. The endless cups
of tea and biscuits and cuddles from Daisy
(Lynnes dog) were a great help!
Not only did Lynne help me "get the job
done" but she made me believe in myself.
During the very many moments when it was hard and
I was upset and ready to give up, she was there
offering support and encouragement.
On top of all that, she helped me achieve an
amazing financial outcome; I walked away with 60%
more than my ex-husband offered in his proposal!
Thank you, Lynne, not only have I finally escaped
an abuse marriage/divorce. I can move on and have
made a friend for life.

Review with Philip Kedge Phil offered some

I felt my solicitor should have (but hasn't so
far) offered me. It was exactly the kind of

feel more confident that I will be able to regain
some direction in a divorce process which
otherwise feels felt like it is wandering
aimlessly along. JC

Sylwia About about McKenzie
Friend Phil Kedge Phil was really helpful
from start, definitely has in depth understanding
about how the family court operates. A few times
I had some last minute emergency submissions and
I always felt his support; he even helped on a
weekend with a really short notice. One thing I
really have to highlight is Phil's honesty, which
was sometimes harsh, but that was what prepared
me for various potentialities, and prevented from
wasting my time on aspects that courts are
absolutely not interested about. NB. Had a
different independent Mc Kenzie friend initially
and he was not even half as good as Phil plus not
transparent about the costs, let me down several
times with deadlines, not easily accessible for
days. So if I ever have to go to court again, I
will go straight to Phil. Highly recommended

Friend Lynne James I cant put into
words how much ?Lynne has helped me and what an
amazing support she has been for me when going to
court for financial remedies .
Lynne is well informed and knowledgeable about
everything that I needed to do for my divorce,
and I wouldnt have been able to do it
without her.
On days when I felt I couldnt continue the
battle, Lynne was always there with her caring
and supportive help encouraging me to keep going.
My case is still ongoing but I believe with
Lynnes help I will get a great result.

Hayley T about McKenzie
Friend Michelle I simply could not of coped
without Michelles endless support through
the latter stages of my divorce and Child
Arrangement Order. My anxiety was so high
approaching court deadlines and opening up
solicitors letters but Michelle stepped in every
time,keeping me calm, keeping me informed and
well advised. She sent endless messages to keep
me buoyant and reassure me that I can do this
without expensive solicitors. And she was right.
I did cope, with her help and expertise but most
importantly, the warmth that I needed at a time
when I felt the most vulnerable and alone.
Solicitors bills have left me in debt but without
Michelle I would of been a further £25K in debt
as well. I cant thank her enough and would
urge you to contact Michelle if you are
struggling with divorce and children related
issues.
Michelle is knowledgeable, capable and calm and
sat through hearings with me quietly giving me
advise and prompts in my earpiece during the
hearings. I cant express enough how much
this helped and I simply could not of done this
without her.
She read through complicated forms and
interpretated them to me and wrote out superb
statements without causing aggression and
unnecessary conflict.
I wholly believe going through solicitors will
cause more harm, money and heartache and wished I
had of used Michelle earlier on in the process.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart Michelle.
I have made a forever friend.

About Family Court
Training : Click Here I thought this
module was excellent. The case was explained very
thoroughly and is probably very typical of many
cases in the courts so it was really helpful to
see how it progressed.
It might be useful to add as an additional
section, some other common scenarios. Not in the
detail that was done with the other case but just
some common features.

Tasleem about McKenzie
Friend Safina Bibi Hi, Safina has been
amazing, helped me through my application, which
I had no clue what to do. Would have cost me
thousands if I had a solicitor. She provided
emotional support and practical guidance and
hands on work like filling in forms for me with
the correct terminology. For ever grateful for
all you have done, especially the emotional
support.

Sidrah about McKenzie
Friend Safina Bibi Safina is a caring,
passionate and honest individual who has advised
me with her expertise during the most difficult
time in my life. I would be lost without her
support and honest advice on my case. She is very
reliable and has the clients best interest at
heart. No amount of questions is too much for
Safina as she is a good listener and
understanding too what the client is saying.

TC about McKenzie McKenzie
Friend Phil Kedge I have read a lot on how
to go through family court without a solicitor,
but it was overwhelming at times and I was not
feeling confident as a litigant in person. And
having the support and mentoring of a McKenzie
Friend before and during the hearing was
invaluable. It gave me the confidence I needed to
face the family court, and it lead to a great
outcome. My McKenzie Friend helped me keep calm
and remain child-oriented throughout the process.
I hope not to go through family court ever again,
but if I do so, it will certainly be with a
McKenzie Friend by my side.

1 hr Webinar Donna M 'Non Mol Orders
Explained in a Bite Sized Chunk' 16/09/21 I
have learned in this Webinar that applying for a
Non-molestation order can be daunting when having
to ruminate over incidents that have happened to
you.
It's important to take it slow and avoid angry
feelings that could impair a coherent application
to the courts.
This webinar takes you through a step-by-step
guide of the process and gives examples of good
and bad applications.
A well laid out format with useful information.

Mark about McKenzie McKenzie
Friend Phil Kedge After struggling with a
divorce which wasnt easy then after I though the
dust had settled I had to deal with an impending
custody court case. I found Phil's videos on
YouTube to immensly helpful and were exactly what
I was looking for in terms of learning what the
process involved, how it all works and how to
deal with it. I started to understand a lot more
and it opened my eyes to a process that was
unknown and frankly daunting. I was amazed and
grateful to be able to book a session with Phil
and speak personally about my case and concerns I
had. I found Phil to be easy to relate to having
going though this process himself. I was able to
face a meeting with CAFCAS with the right mindset
and be able to communicate effectively what I
needed to. I just want to thank Phil for taking
the time to listen and help me out.

Shane B about McKenzie
Friend Julie Edwards
I contacted Julie to help me with a child
arrangement order. Julie helped me write my
statements and set my expectations on what to
expect.
I had three court hearings, in which Julie
attended with me and was great support during the
whole process.
I thank Julie for her time and knowledge and
would not hesitate to make contact if needed in
the future. |

Friend Michelle Ive been working with
Michelle since around March 2021. There are no
words to describe how helpful and amazing she is.
I wouldnt be able to go through all my
court cases without Michelle. Its been a
very hard year for me but with Michelles
help and emotional support its been much
much easier. She is the best!

Nadeem C about McKenzie
Friend Safina Bibi I highly recommend Ms.
Safina Bibi who extended her services as a
McKenzie friend in my CAO case in the UK family
court . I approached her from Dubai for my case
in the UK family courts for Child Arrangement
orders. I wasnt happy with my solicitors
and of course was scared out of my mind as the
case had international factors to it. Ms. Safina
eased my mind about the whole process and made me
comfortable about the case . Definitely great
professionalism. I am also very happy with the
deal I got. She is affordable and advise you to
the point which can at times turn the tables in
the court. Her professional work on my case have
exceeded my expectations. At any time I needed
her for advise she was always available to help
quickly and a high level of professionalism
despite the fact that I am residing in a
different jusrisdiction and time difference.

Craig D about McKenzie
Friend Safina Bibi My McKenzie Friend
safina bibi was everything I needed and more in
an extremely stressful time for me, She was never
far away to answer legal questions I had and also
my shoulder to cry on. I had the utmost
confidence in everything I asked her to do. Very
professional, very patient and a brilliant
temperament. And when I was losing faith in
humanity she always restored it. She had my back
from day one and that's exactly what I needed.

Hi Philip, i contacted you back
in March/April time to get some advice about the
family court process in regards to my son. I
wanted to express my deep and sincere thank you
for your time and advice you gave me. I had my
FHDR today and the judge not only made the best
decision he could of for my son, he also praised
how much focus the hearing was on my sons needs
and not parents wants. I still watch your blogs
and videos even after having been through this
process now as i find them extremely interesting.
Your doing an amazing job and parents need to
know you are out there for the betterment of
their children. I will support your network any
way i can. Kind regards, Chris K

Family Court
Training : Click Here Unbelievable
Phil. Module 1 and 2 have been brilliant. This is
easily the best value for money I have spent on a
course! I have learnt so much about the court
process and life skills to reduce conflict.
The most important thing I have learnt is how
easy a parent can cause children harm if they do
not get on. Every parent should avoid hate and
look for the light...
Well done Phil you have produced an
exceptional training package and should be very
proud of what you have done.
I feel empowered to tackle the court process
without a Solicitor and I have not even finished
the course yet!! Chris

Family Court
Training : Click Here I
found the training so far excellent. I am
currently waiting to go to a Fact finding session
possibly next month and so it has been invaluable
in giving me an insight as what to expect. I
think the recent court judgement of giving
statements more weight will be of greater use.
The information provided has been excellent, i
have thoroughtly enjoyed with the training and
engaged with it. The documents and information
attached with each module has been perfect to
help with learning and that applies throughout
the training.
I dont have anything negative to say and feel
that you are doing a brilliant job and the money
has been well worth the knowledge and insight to
the court process with your experience. Zishan

Sarah N about McKenzie
Friend Julie Edwards I am very happy with
all the support Julie has given me. With emails
phone calls text messages. She took my case on a
couple of days before I had to summit documents
for finances. I wished I had known about mckenzie
friends sooner. Julie has been fab. I cant fault
any of her work she has done for me. She is a
lovely caring person and she really does deserve
the credit she gets. It is a relief knowing ive
got her support with my court case for my family
home. And the service is alot cheaper than a
solicitor and she is always at the end of the
telephone or email. I cant thank Julie enough for
the work she has done for me. And im feeling
positive for the outcome. So a big thank you for
your service you offer and a big thank you to
Julie x

Susan about McKenzie
McKenzie
Friend Phil Kedge I contacted Phil as I
was in great need of direction and support. It
was really east to make an initial appointment
via the website and when I spoke to Phil I was
very relieved. He helped me gain some perspective
on my situation and was really easy to talk to.
The first appointment was free. I would strongly
recommend that anyone experiencing a divorce and
or child care dispute should speak to Phil

Karen about McKenzie McKenzie
Friend Phil Kedge I have had an hour with
Phillip and he really has turned things around
for me. I decided to not to submit my scotch
schedule of allegations . Phillip helped me to
understand that I need to be the grow up and to
try to put an end to the war for my childs
sake . I feel a lot more comfortable with the
process, it will never be easy but with a
McKenzie friend I feel I can get through this
journey . I would def recommend a discussion with
Phillip to see how he can help you.
Thank you

Rukiya M about McKenzie
Friend Michelle Michelle has been amazing
since day 1. She has been so supportive in what
was a very stressful time for myself and my
daughter. She has been patient and guided me
through the process even though I am not IT
literate. I didn't know divorce proceedings could
be so simple until Michele took my case and
handled everything for me. Thank you so much the
service has been amazing

Jonathan about McKenzie McKenzie
Friend Phil Kedge Nothing prepares you for
this initial conversations with lawyers
and barristers were expensive and confusing.
Costs were out of control on top of the emotional
distress of having unpredictable contact with my
child.
What Phil provided was solid, clear advice and
reassurance. For the first time I felt anchored
and had a clearer sense of where things were
likely to go. Of course you get down, but
throughout Phils expertise and clarity was
excellent and made a big difference to my well
being.
During the court processes which were on line
and in person Phil was clear so that I was able
to conduct myself effectively and calmly
having Phil by my side massively helped me get
the outcome which we eventually got. You
dont need lawyers and barristers whose role
is by nature adversarial you need calm,
authoritative advice that is child centric and
authoritative.
Phils availability throughout has been
important and his support re the emotional impact
was important.
A huge thanks from me and my child. I cannot
recommend him highly enough.

Cat K about McKenzie
Friend Julie Edwards Julie has been an
incredible support to me in my current
circumstances over the past twelve months. Her
knowledge of the family courts and proceedings
has been invaluable. With limited funds to have a
solicitor or barrister at all times, the Mckenzie
Network is a brilliant set up for those who
cannot afford the costly legal fees but need some
support, guidance and help for proceedings. Julie
has become a very good friend throughout this
process and has been caring and compassionate but
also encouraging me to use my voice and stand up
for myself. Thank you!

Jean P about McKenzie
Friend Julie Edwards Retired Family Court
Magistrate
Julie gave me a reality check that helped me
find clarity in what's happening. It's difficult
to understand the court process because it
doesn't work based on what we're used to in daily
reality. So, having someone explain things to you
makes a big difference.
Now, I have a better understanding of how I need
to proceed. A heavy load has been lifted off my
chest thanks to Julie's insights. Even though I
still have a long way to go, I'm confident that
I'll achieve the outcome that's best for the
children.
