I represented myself as a litigant in person in a very complex area of family law which involved international jurisdictions. I could not afford a barrister at trial as the costs were incredibly high. I, therefore, chose to use a Mckenzie Friend to act as support and provide suggestions when I was in court. Debbie was incredible from start to finish and even checked in with me after the hearing.
Representing yourself in court can be very daunting and nerves can cause you to forget important things for the Judge. Debbie was helpful in providing notes and prompting me with important questions I had for the judge.
I highly recommend using Debbie. Again, I was representing myself in an extremely complex area of law and Debbie was a great support.
