Everyman Justice provides practical McKenzie Friend support for people representing themselves in the Family Court across England and Wales, helping them prepare with greater confidence and clarity.
McKenzie Friend Support for Everyone in the Family Court
Everyman Justice was founded to help ordinary people feel more confident and supported throughout the Family Court process, without the overwhelming cost of traditional legal representation.
The service provides practical guidance, emotional support and help with court paperwork, helping parents understand the process and present their case clearly and calmly.
Support is available throughout England and Wales through online meetings, telephone consultations and in-person appointments where appropriate.
What Everyman Justice Does
Everyman Justice supports people representing themselves in family proceedings by helping them understand the court process, prepare effectively and present their case with confidence. Support includes:
- Explaining the court process in plain English
- Helping prepare witness statements, position statements and evidence bundles
- Supporting clients before Cafcass interviews and court hearings
- Providing practical preparation to help clients stay calm and organised
- Supporting people with child arrangements, divorce and financial remedy matters
Why “Everyman Justice”
The name reflects a simple belief: justice should be accessible to everyone, not only to those who can afford legal representation.
Everyman Justice exists to make the family court process easier to understand by providing practical support, clear communication and realistic guidance at every stage.
Our Approach
Every family situation is different, so support should never be one-size-fits-all.
Everyman Justice focuses on clear communication, careful preparation and practical support tailored to each client’s circumstances. The aim is to reduce unnecessary stress, encourage constructive decision-making and help people approach family proceedings with greater confidence.
More Than One-to-One Support
Everyman Justice is growing beyond one-to-one McKenzie Friend support into a wider family court information platform.
Through the McKenzie Friend Guide, Family Court Conversations and practical online resources, families can learn about the court process and hear directly from McKenzie Friends and other family court professionals.
The aim is to make different approaches, backgrounds and sources of support easier to understand, helping families make informed decisions before choosing the assistance that is right for them.
Professional Standards
Everyman Justice is committed to providing professional, transparent and confidential McKenzie Friend support.
The service maintains Professional Indemnity Insurance through Hiscox and is registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO). It also builds relationships with professional organisations and local business networks that support responsible practice and stronger community connections.
