Bartholomew Fenwick

Director and supervising attorney

Bartholomew founded the clinic to give people on thin budgets the same preparation a paying client gets.

He spent years in private practice before building Lifeboat around guides and short, scheduled meetings. He reads every case file the week it opens and signs off on every filing.

He handles the contested hearings: custody trials, disputed divorces and appeals of support orders.

How Bartholomew works

He starts with the calendar: what dates matter, what has been filed and what is still missing. Then he picks the order of work.

He keeps one hour a week for new attorneys to bring him their hardest case.
