    Solicitors vs McKenzie Friends: What Works For You?

    TRADITIONAL SOLICITORS

    This is how much stress and cost you might face with traditional solicitors:

     

    ◉ You’ll pay a minimum of £300+ per hour (plus VAT).

     

    ◉ Most law firms require £600+ upfront as a retainer.

     

    ◉ Solicitors are always busy. You’ll have to stick to fixed office hours.

     

    ◉ Their expertise is costly. You’ll get limited help unless you pay more.

    MCKENZIE FRIEND SERVICE

    This is how simple, affordable, and supportive your journey can be with us:

     

    ◉ We charge only £100/hour after a free 30-min session.

     

    ◉ No upfront costs. You only pay for the services you use.

     

    ◉ We work around your schedule, not the other way around. You’ll get a reply within 1 business day.

     

    ◉ We guide you through all forms, statements, and evidence at no extra cost.

    What A McKenzie Friend Can Do


    Divorce, child custody disputes, and non-molestation cases can be highly emotional. A McKenzie Friend can be there for you throughout the legal process, offering support and guidance during this difficult time.

    The UK legal system can be complex and confusing. A McKenzie Friend can help you understand the legal process and your legal rights, so you can feel confident navigating the system.

    A McKenzie Friend can support you in court, preparing your case and helping you present your case. This can be a valuable service for people who cannot afford a solicitor or who feel more comfortable representing themselves.

    A McKenzie Friend can give you general advice on your legal rights.

    What A McKenzie Friend Cannot Do


    A McKenzie Friend is not a qualified solicitor and cannot give legal advice. However, they can provide you with information about the law and your legal rights.

    Often a Mckenzie Friend cannot speak on your behalf in court, although in special circumstances your Mckenzie Friend may be given permission by the judge to speak on your behalf.

    You are always in control of your case and have the final say on all decisions. A McKenzie Friend cannot make decisions on your behalf.

    A McKenzie Friend cannot guarantee a specific outcome in your case. The outcome of your case will depend on the facts of your case and the law.

    Both Preenay and Klaudia were excellent in supporting me with my child arrangements order; from the very first call with Preenay to discuss my situation, to the final hearing which Preenay attended, he's been very professional and informative throughout. Klaudia has assisted me mostly throughout the last 18 months and has always remained non-judgemental, professional and very understanding of my situation.

    I have not seen my daughter in several years and did not have a great experience with the highly paid solicitors I used previously. I highly recommend using the services of this McKenzie Friend, who offer affordable advice and support. Preenay Chohan has been a rock throughout my journey and has worked tirelessly, sometimes very late into the night, for my case. Thanks a lot!

    This is a great option if you do not have the funds for a lawyer. As you are getting the right information that is required for each step of the legal process. Very reasonably priced as well. Preenay is a gentleman and his team are always on hand to help.

    Great advice from the first phone call, which then continues throughout each steps with clear explanations. Unlike some solicitors the terms used aren’t confusing nor is it stressful trying to speak to somebody to never receive a call back! A phone call is welcomed and if you leave a message somebody will always get back to you shortly.
