Founder

Tracey McMillan.

I'm probably not the lawyer you were expecting.

I call a spade a spade and an arsehole an arsehole.
That's not everyone's cup of tea.

I won't tell you everything will be okay.
I won't tell you what you want to hear.

I'll tell you the truth.
Sometimes that's uncomfortable.

It's also what gets people through Family Court.

I'm not an accredited specialist. I don't use that word, and the regulator wouldn't let me if I tried. I just have three decades of doing this work. That's enough.

Why Forge exists

I've spent thirty years watching good men walk into Family Court blind. I couldn't change the system. But I could build something that helps men navigate it.

That's why I created Forge.

If you believe every father deserves to understand the rules before they pay the price for not knowing them…

Share Forge.

One conversation could change someone's future.

One body of work, four front doors.

Forge is the legal practice. The book, the speaking, and the podcasts are how the same work reaches men who aren't ready for a lawyer yet, and a few who never will be.
