From my initial contact with Nikki, when I was desperate for help, she made me feel that she truly understood everything I was saying. She was incredibly compassionate and understanding. Not only did she provide me with professional advice, but she also encouraged me to look after myself and reassured me that I was coping well. I felt genuinely listened to, supported and cared for throughout our conversations.”

Instant Action & Support! 100% Trust.

Nicola ‘Nikki’ got upto speed really quickly with my case and history, working along side Paul Reay her colleague, who i have worked with since 2019. Paul had a family holiday arranged and rather than leaving me waiting with the anxiety of not seeing my children, Nikki picked up my case. She called me first thing Monday Morning 9am and got to action instantly. Iv never known a solicitor so responsive, reassuring and instant action. She was reassuringly calm and said don’t worry we will get this sorted for you. She’s amazing. From a hostile mother and no contact as usual over the weekend, she managed to negotiate some contact with my children by Wednesday, navigating a very hostile parent, making lots of accusations and reasons not to allow contact. Along side this, she was gathering background, evidence, in constant contact and construction court documents to enforce an existing court order. She made herself available for contact, by email , phone and in person at anytime possible. She doesn’t speak in solicitor language, she speaks open, human, and in real world language also. She gives you her honest view on what she see’s going on and makes the relevant strategy for you and your children. McAlister Law, Paul Reay and now Nicola Bradley have always got me the correct result in the end over long and protracted , hostile and my case where iv had to deal with accusation after accusation. I put my 100% trust in these guys. Thank you!

The Best Person I Could Have Had in My Corner.

We managed to achieve something that honestly felt almost “impossible” at times, and I truly believe that Nikki’s strategy, hard work and constant support made such a huge difference in helping us achieve our goals. Honestly, I can’t thank Nikki enough for everything she has done for me. She has been absolutely amazing from start to finish, not only incredibly knowledgeable and professional, but also genuinely kind, supportive and easy to talk to. An exceptional professional and an incredible human being. I’m so grateful to find her. I couldn’t recommend her enough. Thank you for everything, Nikki! I’m already missing you! I wish you a wonderful future filled with happiness, success and everything you deserve.

Eternally grateful!

Over the last 12 months I've worked with both Nikki and Ruth on what was one of the most stressful times of my life in a CAO dispute. Nikki and Ruth had my back at every turn, kept me focused and offered both personal and legal advice. These 2 ladies are genuinely 2 of the most wonderful people I could ever have wished to of met. They got me through the darkest times and ultimately got my children back with their dad. If any dad or mum out there is wondering whether they would be the right fit and could get you the right outcome read no further pick up the phone and take the step. You will not be disappointed. Again thankyou to these 2 amazing individuals for all your help, guidance and advice over the last 12 months myself and the children will be forever grateful and I certainly will never forget what you have done for us.

Outstanding

I cannot recommend Paul Reay highly enough. An exceptionally clever and knowledgeable family lawyer who knows the law inside out. But what really sets Paul apart is his compassion, honesty and humanity. Throughout an incredibly stressful, lengthy process, I always felt I was in safe hands. He’s always pragmatic, strategic and fiercely effective in court, while also genuinely caring about the children he represents. His advice has always been clear, realistic and trustworthy, and Paul has always balanced his professionalism with warmth and a brilliant sense of humour when it was needed most. If you need someone who is both passionate about achieving the right outcome and deeply supportive along the way, Paul’s outstanding. Have him in fighting for you and your child.
