Mckenzie Friend – Support When You Are Representing Yourself
Dalton International brings professionalism, investigative insight and a calm, structured approach that helps you stay grounded and in control.
How a McKenzie Friend helps
Dalton International offers calm, capable support that helps you feel prepared and confident at every stage of the court process. As your McKenzie Friend, we can:
- Provide practical support by helping you organise documents, understand procedures and stay focused on what matters.
- Be a steady presence beside you in hearings, offering reassurance when the process feels overwhelming.
- Take clear notes so you have an accurate record of what was said and what the judge requires.
- Explain paperwork in straightforward, accessible language.
- Support you in preparing statements by helping you organise your information and present your points clearly.
- Help you communicate your position by rehearsing what you want to say and ensuring your key messages are ready.
What a McKenzie Friend cannot do
McKenzie Friends are not lawyers, and Dalton International always works within the legal limits set by the courts. We cannot:
- Speak for you in court
- Conduct litigation or manage your case as a solicitor
- Sign documents for you
- Give legal advice or interpret the law
- Negotiate on your behalf
- Handle confidential documents independently
These boundaries protect you and ensure the court process remains fair and transparent.
How Dalton International adds real value
Within these limits, Dalton International provides support that genuinely strengthens your position:
- Clear explanations so you know what to expect
- Organised evidence and timelines that keep your case on track
- Guidance with drafting your own statements
- A calm, professional presence in hearings
- Investigative insight when reviewing information
- Steady, structured guidance during stressful moments
This approach helps you feel prepared, confident and supported, while keeping you firmly in control of your case.
