Attendance at Court / Professional McKenzie Friends

Helping your voice to be heard in Court

If you represent yourself in court, you are referred to as a ‘litigant in person'. We understand that having someone to support and encourage you in court can make a big difference. As part of our services, we can support and guide you before, during and after hearings, both in person and remotely.

As McKenzie friends we are permitted to sit with you in court, provide advice on points of law and process, take notes whilst supporting, and encouraging you through the hearings. We can also help organise court documents into bundles and draft statements in preparation of hearings. For more information about what McKenzie Friends can do please click here.
