Stay away.
Unfortunately, you cannot give 0. With all due respect I don’t care if you’re cheaper than a normal solicitor. Ail wasted over a week of my time taking my details & more. I’m dyslexic, but I’m not a fool. Speaking to him on the phone is completely talking to him on the email. Before I made any payment. We agreed £575 on cross examination & position statement & £349 is for attendance. Now speaking to Mariam, nice lady but she reads off the script. Now £575 is only for cross examination & £349 is only for attendance & gotta pay more for a statement literally 4 days before my final hearing. This is a terrible business. Keep your money away from these people unfortunately I can’t use profanity because of censorship. I guarantee you I may get a reply about my review telling me how I’m wrong or I got the wrong end of the stick. They do not like any type of criticism as they cannot take it. This is peoples lives. They are messing with. I expect a full refund as no work has been conducted only fake reassurances that things are in progress.
Very reassuring knowing you have people like Chris and Ali beside you.
The initial advice from Ali was reassuring.
I was passed onto to Chris R who was prompt in His replies to Me ., again very reassuring.
I felt as though I had someone by My side before heading to the family courts again.
The presentation of both My witness statement and position statement was very well presented.
Presentation at court is an important is of course important.
Very knowledgeable
Very knowledgeable, able to put me at ease. Very efficient, job well done.
Invaluable legal advice at a fraction of the cost
This company has provided invaluable professional legal help from start to finish.
If you have a fairly simple case with no significant welfare concerns then I would definitely recommend using a McKenzie friend from Family Law Decisions.
They were extremely good at cutting through the waffle and making my position / witness statements far better. Having their experience and guidance throughout the process I believe made a huge difference to me winning my case so if you can’t afford solicitors and in my opinion for simple cases you shouldn’t then using family law decisions is a fantastic way of getting professional legal help at a fraction of the cost.
I 100% advocate all fathers trying to get better contact with their children to use their services. From the initial call with Ali, to the background paperwork from Anthony and the measured experience of Jeff supporting me in person at each hearing, this company is a well oiled machine and takes the stress and doubt out of what needs to be done.
I can’t recommend enough. 5 stars.
A very happy Father and Son.

The service I received from McKenzie friends was outstanding, excellent service. Well recommended.
Thank you
Anthony, was great help!
I cannot thank Anthony enough for the support he provided throughout my case. From the very beginning, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring.
I was extremely nervous about attending court, but Anthony helped me feel much more comfortable and confident throughout the process. He took the time to explain everything clearly, prepared excellent statements on my behalf, and made sure I understood what to expect at each stage.
His support made a huge difference on the day of the hearing. Having someone there who was calm, organised, and genuinely invested in helping me made a very stressful situation much easier to manage.
I would highly recommend Anthony to anyone looking for legal support. His professionalism, preparation, and ability to put clients at ease are second to none. Thank you again for all your help.

Thank you
Family law …
I am currently going through a family dispute following a separation and came across Anthony Eleftheriou. I have been very impressed with his professionalism, efficiency, and prompt responses.
Following my court hearing, I can confidently say his support and expertise were invaluable. I would highly recommend his services.
Professional and Reassuring
}
I cannot thank Anthony enough for the professionalism, care, and reassurance he has provided during an extremely difficult and emotionally overwhelming family court process.
From the outset, Anthony has been thoughtful, balanced, and incredibly knowledgeable, always taking the time to explain matters clearly and proportionately without ever escalating conflict. What stood out most to me was not only his legal understanding, but the genuine compassion and humanity he showed throughout.
At a point where I felt emotionally exhausted and overwhelmed by proceedings, Anthony went above and beyond by preparing a detailed safeguarding summary to support my MIAM process without even being asked. The document was exceptionally well written, balanced, child-focused, and professionally framed, and it immediately helped me feel calmer and more confident moving forward.
Anthony has consistently approached matters with integrity, kindness, and strategic insight, whilst always keeping the children’s welfare at the centre of discussions. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone navigating difficult family proceedings.
Thank you again, Anthony — your support has genuinely made a very difficult situation feel far more manageable
Great trustworthy service
Great trustworthy service, followed up with a great consultation shortly after I reached out and were very helpful!
Exceptional support from Ali and Anthony
My initial consultation was with Ali. I had been calling around to several firms for initial free consultations and can say that the time, effort and genuine support offered by Ali was outstanding and far exceeded other initial calls.
I engaged the firm officially and worked with Anthony. His responsiveness, attention to detail and time spent to answer all my questions was also exceptional.
Dealing with a family crisis and needing genuine, trustworthy and reasonably priced services to support me through this difficult time, I can say that this firm delivers.
Many thanks Anthony and Ali!
Ali was extremely genuine
Ali was extremely polite, genuine, and warm throughout the process. Their support made a very difficult and stressful situation much easier to manage. They were professional, reassuring, and helped me feel comfortable and supported at all times. I am very grateful for their help and the way they handled everything.
Complex case
I recently used the services of a McKenzie Friend, and I found the support to be invaluable. Anthony was with me in court and was outstanding — calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly reassuring throughout. His presence made a stressful day much more manageable.
The team, including Ali and Christopher, provided professional, clear, and practical guidance. They helped me understand my rights, organize my evidence, and prepare for court. Their advice was easy to understand and gave me confidence at every step.
I truly appreciated the combination of practical guidance and personal support, and I would highly recommend this service to anyone needing assistance with family law matters.
⭐ Exceptional support...
⭐ Exceptional support during a very stressful time
Anthony at Family Law Decisions has been outstanding, providing support and reassurance throughout a very stressful legal process.
I had a difficult start with communication at Family Law Decisions, which was stressful during urgent moments. However, working with Anthony completely changed that experience.
Overall, my case and the court process have been very stressful over the past two years, but Anthony has gone above and beyond in supporting me throughout, including late hours and weekends when needed.
I suffer with anxiety, and legal proceedings can feel overwhelming, but he has always communicated with patience, clarity, and genuine kindness. He responds to emails very quickly and explains everything in a way that helps me feel calm, reassured, and supported.
Anthony never makes me feel rushed, always listens carefully, and approaches every situation with professionalism and care. Knowing that he is handling my case has given me confidence and peace of mind during an incredibly challenging time.
I am truly grateful for his exceptional support and advice. I cannot thank him enough for everything he has done for me and continues to do. I would highly recommend his services to anyone seeking reliable, compassionate, and professional legal support.
I rate my experience with Anthony 5 stars without hesitation.

Ali Mohammed and Christopher Riley have been incredible. Professional, helpful and what above and beyond their service to me. There knowledge is amazing and explaining legal matters to me so I could understand was extremely helpful throughout the period that they supported me. Nothing was ever too much trouble and they were so prompt with every email response and every phone call sometimes out of their normal working hours.
I would highly recommend family law decisions and more importantly, Ali and Christopher who were outstanding from start to finish .

Truly helpful and speedy legal help
I cannot thank enough Anthony E. for his help with my recent legal issue related to child arrangements order. Despite short window to make a decision to proceed with the application, I received a very professional help. All documents have been prepared within 3 days since I shared all necessary inputs. I welcomed the clearly stated position statement which made me feel confident in my case. Anthony was very kind and speed of his response into late hours of the evening was truly outstanding. Anthony also drafted for me an email to the court and checked on my case daily, simply because he knew how important my application has been. This doesn’t happen often, the touch of humanity in such difficult times. Thank you again. It means a lot.
I am also grateful to Ali Mohammed who initially walked me through the process, explained my position and outlined the work required.
I highly recommend the Family Law Decisions company.

I'm currently fighting to have more…
I'm currently fighting to have more contact with my daughter, it's so stressful and I didn't know what way to turn . I was trying to get legal advice and help,but every law firm I spoke to was asking for so much money, tens of thousands of pounds, thousands I didn't have, I felt so alone and scared that I would never have legal advice and help to guide me through the family courts, it was like being in a dark tunnel with know light ahead . Just as I fought I've got know chance , I rang family law one day and spoke to a man called ali, and I couldn't believe my luck,I fought I'd never find professional help that don't just want to take all your money off you, I could get this professional help for a reasonable amount of money, I remember getting off the phone to ali that day with such hope, all of a sudden there was a light at the end of that tunnel . Family law actually care ,they listen ,and have the arm around the shoulder touch, and I'm so grateful for family law. I'm still fighting for more access with my daughter and still in that tunnel, slowly moving forward towards the light,with family law standing next to me . I've been to court once so far , and have another hearing coming up, ali sent one of his best colleagues to assist me in court Antony, who is so professional, and guided me through the hearing, and I'm very happy and feel reassured that Antony will be with me on my next court hearing. Also what reasures me is family law after care, always touching base with me in between hearings , seeing if I need anything or any advice or help with anything about the family courts process. If your a father or mother like me fighting for your child and need professional help that cares, not trying to take your life savings off you, then family law are the ones you need to reach out to. Thanks ali and Anthony, best regards bennie

I highly recommend Family Law Decisions. They assisted me in obtaining a non-molestation order very quickly and are currently supporting me with my child arrangements case. They respond promptly and are highly knowledgeable and experienced. Their fees are also very reasonably priced. Their clear guidance, reassurance, and professionalism have made a very stressful time far more manageable.
