Professional Possession Claim Support & McKenzie Friend Services
Navigating the eviction process can be complex, but you do not have to do it alone. As a specialised McKenzie Friend, I provide practical, expert assistance to landlords and agents handling possession claims in England.
While I am not a solicitor, I specialise strictly in housing possession. This focus allows me to guide you efficiently through the court system as a litigant-in-person, saving you from exorbitant legal fees while ensuring your paperwork is handled correctly.
Why Landlords and Agents Trust My Services
- Proven Expertise: I focus exclusively on possession claims in England. Because of this dedication, I don't need to advertise; most clients come directly through word-of-mouth recommendations from other landlords and agents.
- No Upfront Cost: I will never ask for money before we speak. Your initial consultation is entirely free. If your paperwork has a mistake, I will tell you how to fix it. If a case is unfixable because of prior errors, I will be completely honest.
- Reliable Support: I am committed to a hardworking, transparent ethos. If an urgent issue arises outside of standard business hours, I am accessible and ready to answer your call.
Your Rights: What is a McKenzie Friend?
Under official UK court rules (Practice Guidance: McKenzie Friends), you have the legal right to manage your own eviction process. You also have the right to receive reasonable assistance from a layperson—known as a McKenzie Friend.
How I Can Help You:
- Document Preparation: Assist you in organising, reviewing, and preparing your case papers.
- Offer guidance and strategy throughout the process
- Legal Boundaries (What I Cannot Do):
To comply with court regulations, a McKenzie Friend cannot act as your formal legal agent, sign court documents on your behalf, or speak directly to the judge during a hearing.
The Legal Journey: When to Use a Solicitor
My role is to manage the heavy lifting, procedural strategy, and administrative preparation from the very start of your eviction journey.
If your case proceeds to a final hearing that requires formal oral advocacy, that is the exact moment to hand your meticulously prepared paperwork over to a solicitor. They can step in at the finish line to represent you in front of the judge, ensuring your case is won efficiently.
