I cannot recommend James Newport highly enough. James was my McKenzie Friend during a child arrangements order case, and his support throughout was outstanding.
From our very first phone call, James gave me 30 minutes of his time and offered helpful advice, which immediately made me feel more at ease. Once we agreed to move forward, he sent over a document clearly setting out exactly what would be charged and what services were included. This made everything very clear from the start and gave me confidence in the process.
Throughout the case, James was always available for a phone call or email whenever I needed advice. He carefully looked over documents and guided me all the way up to the court date, which gave me a huge amount of reassurance during a very stressful time.
On the day of the hearing, James met me at the front of the court and immediately put me at ease. I was delayed by two hours, but James stayed with me the entire time. He was patient, supportive, and took the time to chat with me about our careers, interests, and families, which really helped calm my nerves. I genuinely could not have asked for a nicer person to have by my side, especially someone with such a strong background in child-related work.
Once we were in the courtroom, even the judge commented on how qualified James was for this kind of work, which says a lot about the level of professionalism and experience he brings.
After the court date, James continued to stay in touch and go through documents with me, exactly as he promised he would. He kept his word every step of the way.
For anyone who cannot afford a solicitor but still needs reliable advice and support, I would recommend James without hesitation. He provides an excellent service at an absolute fraction of the price, without compromising on care, professionalism, or commitment.

James provided invaluable support throughout the preparation of my documents and offered clear, practical advice ahead of my final hearing for a child arrangements order.
He demonstrated a high level of professionalism, efficiency, and expertise at every stage. He was consistently responsive and readily available to address any questions or concerns, which gave me great confidence during a challenging process.
I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone seeking reliable and knowledgeable support.
