⭐ Raj from Sheffield: "Like many people that are going through a difficult divorce, my initial route was hiring a solicitor. Having spent thousands of pounds, and literally getting nowhere I decided to go down the solo route, with the support of a McKenzie friend. Having no knowledge or experience in this field it was a mine field navigating all the forms, rules and processes. My McKenzie friend Deborah was amazing, she talked me through everything in normal terms, supported me through the whole process, right up to court. We successfully got our desired outcome and it was all thanks to her amazing support. To anyone going through a divorce that needs support with financial matters, or navigating the family courts process, I would highly recommend Deborah. Don't waste your time and money on solicitors."
