What We can do
Explain the process, prepare forms, statements, chronologies and bundles, help you plan what to say, come to court with you, take notes and quietly advise.
What We can't do
We're not solicitors and can't run your case as your legal representative. We can only speak in court if the judge gives permission. You stay in charge of your case.
London family courts we cover
It depends on where you live and the type of case. Your court papers name the court. Send them to us and we’ll confirm it.
