Your voice, heard. Your journey, supported.
Welcome to DAVID RAYNER McKENZIE FRIEND. I understand the challenges and anxieties that come with court matters. My mission is to provide compassionate, affordable guidance, ensuring you feel confident and empowered every step of the way. Discover how my personal journey led me to advocate for yours.

From personal challenge to dedicated advocate
As a Dad, I faced my own challenging family matters, experiencing first hand the heartbreak, stress, and overwhelming financial costs. This deeply personal journey inspired me to study Law at Bangor University, where I graduated with an Honours Degree in 2022. Now, as a McKenzie Friend, I offer cost-effective support, applying the same legal principles and following the rules and regulations that solicitors and barristers follow. Your voice can and will be heard in court, even without expensive legal representation.
My Primary areas are Family and Welfare law, Criminal law and Contract law
My Law degree also covers the following areas
- Company Law
- Land Law
- Intellectual Property Law
- International Law and Contemporary Issues
- Sports Law
- European Union Law
- Tort
- Equity and Trusts
- Jurisprudence
- Roman Law and Legal History
- Legal System England and Wales
- Public Law
- Legal Ethics

Empowering you in the courtroom
Court can be daunting, but you won't be alone. I'll sit by your side in the courtroom, offering quiet support and guidance. Prior preparation is key; I'll explain the day's proceedings and potential outcomes, easing your anxiety and ensuring you're prepared for all possibilities. Uniquely, as a "Lay person" supporting you, I can accompany you in Cafcass discussions if all parties agree – a privilege often unavailable to solicitors and barristers. My aim is to help you navigate these challenging times with confidence.

Achieve your potential, with unwavering support
My guiding belief is simple: You have the ability to achieve. With my help, support, and guidance, that can become a reality. At DAVID RAYNER McKENZIE FRIEND, based in Prestatyn, North Wales, I am committed to ensuring you feel heard, understood, and capable of navigating your court matters effectively. Let's work together to achieve the best possible outcome.
