Graham Fletcher is a Bristol McKenzie Friend. Based in Staple Hill he provides a support service to parents attending family court hearings at Bristol Family court for Child arrangement hearings, Non-molestation orders, Occupation orders and Divorce Finance Hearings (ancillary relief). 

Having a McKenzie friend support you means you are litigant in person and speak to the judge directly instead of a solicitor speaking for you - Graham's McKenzie friend Bristol service is cheaper and more effective than a family law solicitor.

Graham is experienced in coaching people to present their own case with over 10 years experience in Family courts and over 150 5 star reviews.
