Real People at Reasonable Prices
The court process can be stressful and emotional. Court hearings are often traumatic for people going through divorce. Hiring family lawyers can help but they can can be very costly. Especially when your case is complicated and time consuming.
Representing yourself can leave you feeling anxious. You might not understand the law or find it difficult to navigate. Having somebody there to help and encourage you through the entire process makes a tremendous difference.
It is important to understand that there are alternatives to family lawyers. Other people can offer emotional support and advice. These people offer the experience you needed for a better court experience. They are called McKenzie Friends.
What is the difference between family lawyers and a McKenzie Friends?
McKenzie friends can be anybody from any kind of background. They are usually:
- Family members or friends who provide moral support in court and do not charge a fee.
- They can also be voluntary helpers, part of institutions or charities, and will typically not charge for their help.
- There are also fee-charging McKenzie Friends. These are usually the most helpful because they will usually have some speciality in different legal areas (such as family law) and can support you throughout the court proceedings. In addition to giving, you that essential emotional support.
But why would I want a fee-charging McKenzie Friend? If I am going to pay, indeed, I should pay family lawyers?
Indeed, family lawyers will have advanced knowledge of family law matters. However, they can be overwhelmingly expensive, and McKenzie Friends can have that same specialist knowledge whilst being much more affordable.
