  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.

  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.

  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..

Dave rang me very quickly to discuss the case I needed help with.
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 future.
