I initially instructed Paul Reay in order to gain more contact with my son. This was now a number of years ago and therefore in that time I have got to know Paul extremely well. As well as being a specialist in children law, Paul is someone who I easily connected with on a human level. Paul has extremely good knowledge and a deep understanding of the law, including Parental Alienation, which was crucial for my case. Prior to instructing Paul, my relationship with my son was hanging in the balance, yet having secured a significant increase in time with my son, things have all changed. On behalf of myself and my son, I want to thank Paul for everything that he has done for us.’

Strong, focused, and effective legal support.
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.

Highly recommend
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.

Outstanding Team
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.

Outstanding Professionalism and service
I recently had the pleasure of working with Paul Reay and his colleague Agata Napora at McAlister Family Law, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very first consultation, Paul demonstrated a deep understanding of my situation and provided a professional service that made me feel supported throughout the process.
His expertise in family law was evident, and he took the time to explain every step clearly, ensuring I understood my options. Paul was not only knowledgeable but also empathetic, showing genuine care for my concerns and circumstances. Agata complemented this experience with her professionalism and attention to detail, making sure that every aspect of my case was handled with care. Together, they created a supportive environment that made navigating complex legal matters much easier.
Overall, my experience with Paul Reay and Agata Napora was exceptional. Their professionalism, understanding, and dedication to their clients truly set them apart in the field of family law. I am grateful for their guidance and support during a challenging time.

Got your back
Paul and Frances were excellent for me. Switched from another law firm on the recommendation of a friend. I was met with a professional and enthusiastic attitude to a very difficult divorce case. I always felt that my case was dealt with sensitively and with a personal touch. It’s tough but both Frances and Paul were there to guide me through and I always felt they had my back. No hesitation in recommending them. Superb for me.
