Agata NaporaPaul Reay

Tagged solicitors Agata Napora and Paul Reay

I had a consultation with McAlister Family Law when I was engaged with another reputable law firm after the situation escalated significantly. During the initial consultation, Agata Napora and Paul Reay came up with a list of things that have to be done immediately in order to prevent the worst outcome. The complicated law matters were explained clearly from the beginning, even though I did not know the process. Paul was really honest, confident and proactive, which made me feel like I was the winner of the case already. Paul and Agata took the time to answer all my questions and made the whole process stress-free. In just a week, we got the maximum result that I could only have wished for a week ago.

Lauren Riley

Tagged solicitor Lauren Riley

When faced with the difficult decision to seek an enforcement order for a child arrangement order, I knew I needed a solicitor who was not only legally sharp but also deeply understanding of the sensitive nature of the situation. From the moment I instructed her, Lauren Riley proved to be exactly that and more. The process of enforcing a child arrangement order can be incredibly stressful, and Lauren handled every step with a perfect balance of legal assertiveness and genuine compassion. She listened carefully to my concerns about the breaches of the order and meticulously gathered the necessary evidence. Lauren’s guidance was invaluable, as she clearly explained the legal requirements and what to expect from the court proceedings. Her communication was excellent; she was always available to answer my questions and provided regular updates, which gave me immense peace of mind during a very anxious time. Lauren's ability to present a clear and compelling case to the court was instrumental in the positive outcome we achieved. She was a tireless advocate for my child’s best interests, and I felt completely confident in her representation. Thanks to Lauren's expertise and dedication, me and my child are getting required building blocks put in place by the court . I wholeheartedly recommend Lauren Riley to any parent who needs a solicitor to navigate the complexities of child arrangements and enforcement. She is a compassionate and formidable lawyer who truly fights for what is right."

Preeya Rampersad

Tagged solicitor Preeya Rampersad

I engaged KLR to administer my divorce proceedings, these turned out to be lengthy! I dealt solely with Preeya Rampersad throughout. Preeya gave me clear , concise, accurate advice which she always fully explained. This gave me the ability to respond to any questions with full information. She was always positive and certainly kept me on point at times when things dragged ie during Covid. All of the staff at KLR that in encountered whether by phone, email or in person were always helpful, cheerful and always professional. I made an excellent choice for my legal council.

Tagged solicitors Alec Hodgkinson and Nicholas Edward Upright

I can’t thank Nick Upright enough for all his help and support with my recent family matters. Nick is approachable, honest, and very knowledgeable. He always took the time to listen to my concerns and explain things in a way that was easy to understand, which made a difficult situation feel much more manageable. What I appreciated most was his straightforward advice. Nick’s guidance throughout the family court process was invaluable. I always felt he had my best interests at heart and that I was in very capable hands. Family matters can be stressful and emotional, but Nick remained professional, supportive, and reassuring throughout. Thanks to his expertise and dedication, everything was resolved positively. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nick to anyone looking for a solicitor who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about his clients.
