HS about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend
I was able to get in touch with Sundeep at the last minute and within 48 hours before my hearing, he was able to quickly get to grips with my case and wrote my position statement which clearly communicated, in a child focused way, what I wanted from the court. Sundeep was able to attend my hearing at such short notice which was a god-send! He was available any time I needed to speak with him and he was able to speak to the other party Barrister and be firm with our position. The Judge was extremely grateful for the position statement and went on to state that she can see my intention was wholly in the best interest of the child. I was able to achieve almost everything I requested in my statement. Sundeep was able to coach me on what to say and was able to help me calm my nerves. He was very good at getting the Judge to look at issues outside of the scope of the hearing and putting them in the order – the other party was not happy about that one bit! Clearly Sundeep knows what the Judges are looking for. I highly recommend Sundeep and will continue to use him for my case. |

SM about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend
From day one until now Sundeep has been an unbelievable support for me in so many ways. In the early days he spent so much time explaining things to me and ensuring that I understood that there is light at the end of the tunnel even if I cannot see it. I have never had any dealings with the legal system before and did not know my left from my right. I can single handedly say my survival through all this is down to his dedication, patience, calmness, determination, openness, articulation and empathy. I am so grateful that he was available on text or a phone call whenever I had a thought, question or was daymares. He called more than my friends did (and they disappear fast). Sundeep has been a phenomenal. Just get in touch with them and speak to human beings who genuinely believe in, might for you and will do everything possible to support you. |

Louise about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend
Sundeep was able to draft a contact order as part of my position statement and request that a final hearing to be discharged and in its place a final order by consent. With Sundeep’s help, I was able to agree with the other party something that I felt was fair and was conducive to what I required. The court were grateful for this detail and we were able to get a final order without having to go through the emotional rollercoaster of a heated final hearing. I believe this would not have been possible without Sundeep’s input. He clearly knows what the court expects and how to articulate what I needed within a court friendly way. |

J S about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend
I am very pleased that I was assisted by Sundeep. I had not seen my child for over a year, and despite a Cafcass recommendation for there to be a fact finding and a report, we were able to convince the judge with sound argumentation to dispense with fact finding, have the social worker do a S7 report to cut length of time and have supervised contact in a contact centre in the interim. I am very pleased with the outcome and feel things have turned around for the better. |

Emma D about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend
Sundeep provided a stellar service. The judge was very impressed with the statement he prepared and gave him right of audience, allowing him to speak to the judge instead of me! This was a huge weight of my shoulders. He managed to make a persuasive case for me. I’ve made more progress in this one hearing than I have in the last two years! Sundeep was great at dealing with the other side barrister and he was really reassuring, transparent with what to expect and what it will cost. He knows his stuff and he clearly looked at favourably by the courts. The judge advised for me to have him at my next hearing and I have! |

Alice C about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend
Sundeep was able to quickly take stock of my situation and was able to quickly turn around a position statement for my FDR hearing, setting out clearly my position and situation. He was also able to look at my documents for my financial remedy and give me some much needed advice, particularly around proposals and counter proposals. |

Frank J about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend
He provided invaluable guidance, suggesting courses that supported my application and delivering comprehensive witness and position statements complete with relevant case laws, which were greatly appreciated by the magistrates. Sundeep provided much-needed reassurance, emphasising the importance of my child's well-being and offering guidance on areas where I might have faltered. I've already recommended Sundeep to two others facing similar challenges, confident that he will provide them with the same exceptional service he offered me. While my ex spent thousands on solicitors and barristers, Sundeep's fees were reasonable, affordable, and, importantly, flexible in terms of payment. I wish all solicitors and barristers shared Sundeep's child-focused approach. He had my back throughout, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. |

Kelly H about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend
Sundeep was able to write my statement on the same day we had spoken. It was very professional and he was able to demonstrate that the other party application for non-molestation order did not meet the threshold. He used really good case laws to make the point and help me turn it into my own voice. Sundeep explained everything to me and was available in the evenings over phone, email and whatapp. He was very reassuring and I was able to check in with him regularly! You don’t get this with a solicitor! He attended my hearing and was able to help calm my nerves and prompt me when needed. I was worried I would forget what to say but Sundeep is always on the ball! Needless to say, the court was able to dismiss the other party application and I believe this was only possible by Sundeep’s efforts. I highly recommend Sundeep to anyone! His fees were very reasonable and he goes the extra mile, always reassuring and available. Have already recommended him to others! |

Avri about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend
I strongly endorse McKenzie Friend, Sundeep Gill. He helped me through the toughest time of my life going through family court. Whereas, with a solicitor or barrister, you receive the necessary support, with Sundeep I received empathetic and compassionate support and advice. He was accessible throughout the week and at weekends when emergencies or emotional lows struck. Sundeep learned my case like the back of his hands, and assisted me where needed including looking at the draft orders and advice on rectifying them. I felt that my children was his primary concern. I was happy to hear if he disagreed with my views, helping me stay child focused and not get embroiled in a battle, which can be all to easy to do. I know for a fact you don’t get this with a solicitor. I could not have been more satisfied. Sundeep exhibits utmost professionalism, great oral and written communication skills, demonstrating an extensive understanding of family law and a keen awareness of the potential tactics employed by the opposing legal team. |

I'm thrilled with the service I received from Sundeep! He was incredibly helpful, completing my C100 quickly and efficiently. I was pleasantly surprised by the professional quality of his work—it truly looked like something written by a solicitor. Sundeep took the time to speak with me over the phone, patiently going through everything and providing invaluable support. I would highly recommend him to anyone considering seeking legal assistance. His knowledge and ability to explain things clearly and simply made the process much easier. Thank you, Sundeep! |

Kamrul H about Sundeep
Gill McKenzie Friend
What a superstar. From the get go you could tell Sundeep knew what he was talking about, he made me look at things from a more legal standpoint and helped me prepare documents for my next hearing. I am so glad I reached out to Phil and his team as a result of watching a video on his page which was exactly what was happening to me. Sundeep listened, helped me focus and prepare a great statement and I look forward to using him going forward until my case comes to a conclusion. Thank you Sundeep, I really appreciate it. Props to you and the team Phil, you are doing a fantastic job for people like me who cannot afford legal representation. |
