⭐ Gergely helped me with my divorce and financial consent order in London, including preparing the paperwork and guiding me through the financial settlement process. He explained everything clearly, was always practical and easy to understand, and made the whole process much less stressful. I really appreciated his support and would definitely recommend him to anyone dealing with divorce or family finance matters.

⭐ Top marks for Everyman Justice. I'm from Felixstowe but had my court case in Ipswich. Everyman Justice were brilliant. During the fact-finding hearing, the cross-examination questions they helped me with were amazing. They were spot on and really helped my case. If you need a McKenzie Friend who actually knows their stuff, use these guys. They made a massive difference.

⭐ For 10 long months I was unable to see my grandchildren, which was a very difficult and heartbreaking time for me. Gergely Fried supported my son throughout the whole process: he helped prepare all the documents, wrote emails to the other party, and gave constant guidance. Thanks to his work, at the first hearing a decision was made and my son was granted his access rights — so now I too can see my grandchildren again. He gave us not only practical help but also much-needed emotional support, and even travelled to accompany us to court. We are beyond words grateful to him — he made it possible for our family to be together again. I would recommend Gergely Fried without hesitation.

⭐ Gergely came to the rescue in filling up my divorce form at the most reasonable and affordable price I have known. He is so accommodating compared to other paralegals that suddenly shunned me off and their asking price is even expensive. I know I don't know anything about legal forms but Gergely made sure I was well assisted and supported plus he managed to finish my form in less than 2 hours. I will surely choose Gergely in the future for any problem I encounter about my forms. Thank you.

⭐ Highly recommended. I was so grateful for all Greg's support when he was my McKenzie friend. I was an absolute mess with stress and anxiety, and he really helped to calm me down and explain things clearly.

⭐ Emotional support at court. I had to go to a court hearing and I didn't have anyone to help me with advice or lean onto for support. Someone suggested me the McKenzie friend. I am very grateful for his support and encouragement. Without his help my court experience would have been traumatic. He led me with a sharp mind providing me sober clues never concealing the raw reality in front of me. His assurance comforted me and helped me accept what I cannot change.
Posted 17 Aug 2026
⭐ Professional, Supportive and Knowledgeable. Gergely was a tremendous support for me during my C100 application. He explained everything clearly, answered all my questions, and guided me step by step through the process. His knowledge, patience, and ongoing support gave me confidence and peace of mind. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs help navigating family court matters.

What clients say
"Absolutely brilliant service. Gergely supported me with my family court case and came with me to the hearing. He is responsive, helpful and explains everything clearly. He understands not only the court process, but also family dynamics and how these situations affect children, which was incredibly valuable.
