ReviewSolicitors Suitability Check

How the Suitability Check works

The ReviewSolicitors Suitability Check is designed to help you understand whether a law firm may be suitable for your legal matter and to support you in deciding what to do next.

It brings together information from publicly available sources, regulatory data, and verified client reviews and ratings to make it easier to compare law firms and connect with a solicitor who may be suited to your needs.

ReviewSolicitors works with thousands of law firms across the UK, many of whom actively collect client reviews through our platform. We aim to make it as simple and seamless as possible for you to find, compare, and connect with a law firm that may be able to help with your matter.

However, the information shown here is based on data that is updated periodically. Solicitors can move between law firms, law firms may change the areas of law they offer, and capacity to take on new client matters can vary over time.

Checks on whether a law firm is accepting new clients are carried out on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on the information available to us. While this helps keep information up to date, we cannot guarantee that all details will always be accurate at the time you view them.

In some cases, a law firm may appear as “Not accepting new clients through ReviewSolicitors” because they are not actively engaged with us or have not confirmed their availability. They may still be accepting new clients directly, and if you are unsure, it is always best to contact the law firm directly to confirm their expertise, availability, and whether they have the capacity to handle your matter.

About this score

This rating is based on verified client feedback and compares how this firm’s value for money is perceived against the national average.

This comparison helps place client experiences in context when choosing a law firm.

About this score

This rating is based on client feedback and compares how satisfied people were with the result of their legal matter against the national average for similar legal services. While every case is different and outcomes can depend on the law, the facts, and decisions made by courts or tribunals, this comparison is designed to be like for like. When a firm has a large number of reviews, individual case differences tend to balance out over time. This makes the national average a useful benchmark for understanding how often clients feel the result achieved was fair and appropriate for their situation. Even small differences from the average can therefore reflect a meaningful difference in the overall standard of legal service provided.

Simply the best

I recently had the pleasure of working with Paul Reay from McAlister Family Law Limited on a family matter, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. Despite the short notice, Paul demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, efficiency, and dedication. After quickly instructing him, I was incredibly impressed with how swiftly he responded. Paul was able to arrange a court appearance via Teams at short notice, ensuring that all necessary actions were taken promptly. His preparation and command over the matter gave me great confidence during what was undoubtedly a stressful time. Throughout the process, Paul kept me informed, provided clear and concise advice, and was always available to answer any questions I had. His expertise and quick thinking were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome. If you are looking for a solicitor who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also highly responsive and reliable, I wholeheartedly recommend Paul Reay at McAlister Family Law Limited.

Children Matters

I’ve worked with McAlister family law for the last 3 years and they have all the knowledge, professionalism and expertise you would expect from a family law firm. What has set them apart has been the kindness and compassion they showed during one of the most stressful times of my life. Caroline was there from the beginning and has been a constant source of support. Paul helped bring our proceedings to a close whilst Caroline was on leave and was able to quickly grasp the complexity of the case, was able to provide containment but also showed sensitivity. Thank you to Caroline, Ruth, Paul and Melissa for everything you’ve done! The outcome would have been very different without you.
