Our Story

Why did you start Friendly McKenzie?

Having experienced the divorce process first hand both Andy realised how the traditional approach to divorce disputes, via solicitors, was both expensive and ineffective. Unaffordable for those on low or no income and wealth depleting for those who can afford it, it was clear to both that a different approach was needed. Practical support combined with knowledge of the court process could help people self-representing get the right outcome at a fraction of the cost.

So Friendly Mckenzie was created to bring the right support to individuals self-representing. Weather acting as a McKenzie Friend in court alongside you at hearings or providing ongoing support through the court administration process, we can help you achieve the right outcome for you and your family and within an affordable budget.
