Excellent work
Excellent advice and friendly approach. Had a long drawn out process and was supported throughout with solid advice and support. Hope I never have to use family lawyers again but if I do I will know where to go.

Highly Recommended
Frances is a total professional, clearly knows her field and it was a relief to have her fighting my corner. She kept me updated every step of the way and I really felt she had got my back. She is so efficient, the minute anything needs doing it's done. Having her on my side definitely took away some of the stress of my divorce.

Divorce
My divorce has taken nearly 2 years and has been a very stressful experience mainly due to my ex wife and her solicitors very negative behaviour. My solicitor, Miss Frances Bentley, has been the absolute model of professionalism, empathy, forward thinking and has been the angel on my shoulder. Without Frances, the divorce would have been the most horrendous experience I’ve had for years, and I’m a firearms police officer in the Metropolitan Police, so that may tell you how griefy it has been.
Frances and her company have lived my experience with me but whereas I took the emotional hit, the help and assistance they’ve provided is second to none. If you need a divorcé solicitor and company, then I can’t recommend Frances and McAlister Family Law highly enough.

Excellent service
I cannot thank McAlisters Solicitors enough especially Frances. She gave great advice. We have laughed and I have cried on the phone to her during what has been a very difficult time. She never once made me feel like I wasn’t worth listening to. Frances truly had her work cut out with my ex’s solicitor who was so obstructive. She was very professional till the end. Brigid also took the time out to call me when I was having to deal with a distressing situation with my ex. I thank her very much because I kept her talking for a very long time and at no point did she try and rush me she dealt with me in a very professional and sensitive manner. And thank you to Lauren who I know did a lot of work for me behind the scenes. They are a credit to McAlisters.

Massive thank you to Katie and Fran who supported my divorce and finance agreement handled it very sensitively, explained all aspects of what was happening and what I needed to do and after a certain difficult divorce it resulted in an amicable and fair split.
