McAlister Family Law

I recently sought Jason's support during a difficult break up involving a shared property and children. From our first meeting, Jason demonstrated exceptional knowledge, professionalism and a clear understanding of the legal complexities involved in non-marital separations. He provided expert guidance at every stage, ensuring I was fully informed of my rights and options. His advice was always measured, practical and rooted in achieving a fair and balanced outcome. Thanks to his support, I was able to navigate the process with clarity and confidence and we reached an agreement that was both reasonable and sustainable. Jason is clearly an expert in his field and his calm and measured approach made a real difference at a challenging time. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him to anyone in need of sound legal advice and representation. All the best Jason and Thank you for your help.

Amanda is over familiar wants to talk about going skiing with you, rather the details of the case. My case was multimillion pound divorce case. Amanda could never spell my ex-husbands name correctly in documents. Amanda completely re-named his business something else entirely in her correspondence. Amanda could not add up spreadsheets, Amanda asked for X in monthly maintenance but the spreadsheet added up to Y. The errors were unbelievable. Ananda did not tell advise my court date, I found out via my ex husband I called up Amanda to find out and she was on holiday. Amanda promised she would return my call and never did. I terminated Amanda and she begged and pleaded and offered discount but I had no confidence in Amanda whatsoever. I am pursuing Ananda legally. Amanda has offered me some compensation but this was unsatisfactory. Amanda was also 30 mins late for a meeting that lasted an hour, Amanda charged me for 3 hours! Her bills are very inaccurate.

I don’t know where my daughter and I would be now without Nikki. From the off she has been honest, compassionate and on the money. I echo all reviews and their glowing feedback - she is incredibly child-focussed; driven to ensure the the child and their welfare is kept front and centre throughout the process. She isn’t just an amazing solicitor with excellent legal knowledge she is also a wonderful human being who will go out of her way to make sure her client is consistently informed, empowered and able to make the right choice with the correct and relevant information to hand. An excellent, dogged advocate and empathic human being is a rare combination - this is Nikki and I’d recommend her to anyone you are safe in her hands.

I had the pleasure of working with Paul Reay on a case involving a child arrangement order, and I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Paul was instrumental in getting the key point of our case agreed upon, and when we went before the judge, we were able to step out confidently, leaving the judge to simply order in our favour.

Throughout the process, the other side attempted to derail proceedings with petty and unnecessary points, but Paul handled them swiftly and decisively. He was fair, composed, and respectful, yet he dominated the room when it mattered most. His calm authority and strategic approach gave me real confidence, and I was truly grateful to have him on my side.

I highly recommend Paul to anyone needing strong, focused, and effective legal support.

very helpful and understanding!
will definitely be back in the future if needed

I’m really glad that I was put in contact with Paul, as from my first phone call he went above and beyond. He talked me through the options I had available in a calm manner, making sure that I could understand the process fully. He took the time to answer all my questions and really helped relieve the stress of an uncertain and difficult situation. He gave me clear advice and worked on a solution that was suitable for my situation as it developed. It was reassuring to know he was a phone call away when I needed legal advice. I would highly recommend.

Had to bring in Paul and Aggy in my CAO where mother and her legal representatives were so difficult and unreasonable. Lots of false allegations made by mother during our divorce- including r*pe and child abuse. 80 weeks of exhilarating legal proceedings! Paul and Aggy helped me navigate the situation and final hearing ruled in my favour.

I can't recommend McAlister Family Law enough, especially the incredible work of Melissa. From the moment she took control of my case, I felt a real sense of relief. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and understanding of what was best for my child were second to none. She made a very stressful situation feel manageable and always made me feel comfortable and supported.

On the day itself, I was attended by Georgina, who had been recommended by Melissa – and rightly so. Georgina was exceptionally well-equipped, providing calm, clear advice and unwavering support throughout. I genuinely felt like I was in the perfect hands with both of them. The outcome was exactly what we knew was right for my child, and I’m absolutely made up with how everything was handled. Melissa and Georgina are both a credit to McAlister Family Law.
