McAlister Family Law

I highly recommend Lisa Brown, whose family law knowledge, expertise, experience and natural, friendly, approachable style, instilled me with reassurance and confidence from the initial first consultation, when I contacted McAlister family law specialists. Lisa listened and understood the long term challenging situation i’d found myself in, before providing realistic advice on the choices around the levels of intervention available, totally flexible as to what I needed, agreeing a solution focused plan and supporting step by step, during the lead up to the court financial dispute resolution process; including, advising on negotiations and finance, as to what can be expected, managing communications, also sourcing a highly proficient barrister and arranging all the necessary information. It’s said that divorce is one of the most stressful things in life to deal with, Lisa’s compassion and professional expertise definitely helped alleviate for me, I 100% encourage contacting Lisa, at McAlister, ‘built on delivering results’, which they certainly did for me. Thank you!

Hannah is an outstanding solicitor. She has helped me through a myriad of complex challenges as I navigate my way out of a very difficult family situation. Her intuition, understanding of family dynamics and knowledge of the law is second to none and I cannot speak highly enough of her empathy, patience, humanity and expertise when it comes to putting my children first. She is hugely capable, efficient, warm and kind. She works as my pace but is always ready to advise me on the issues about which I am unsure or hesitant. She has empowered me beyond belief and has helped me to get my life back on track. I would give many more stars in my rating if I could! Thank you, Hannah.

Lisa was excellent and very helpful in her advice and understanding of the situation.
I would highly recommend her.

I instructed McAlister Family Law to handle the financial settlement aspect of my divorce. My matter was handled by Lisa Brown, one of the partners at McAlister.

Right from my initial conversation with Lisa, it was clear that I was in excellent hands; throughout the process Lisa was always available and consistently provided clear, honest and professional advice. I was also kept fully up to date as the matter progressed, which is so very important when working through situations like these.

I would thoroughly recommend Lisa.

Lisa helped draw up a pre-nup for me. Very happy with the service received. Thank you.

Ruth worked on my case for around 18 months, having being recommended to me to support my long running and increasingly complex matter. Ruth is an outstanding professional, working incredibly my case. She is non-judgemental and importantly, highly communicative, providing regular updates and conferences. Ruth did not hesitate to get stuck into the case from the start, focussing objectively on the issues of key importance to both my child and I. Ruth worked brilliantly with carefully-selected barristers and maintained constant communication with them to ensure collectively, we were up to speed at all times. This had been an extremely stressful experience for me, for a number of years, however, Ruth's depth of experience has been clearly apparent throughout. Ruth and her team were at hand to break the issues down into a way I understood, and guided me carefully through statements, reports and hearings. Ruth took time to assess every new piece of information and gave full consideration to every document, sentence by sentence, whilst setting my mind at ease and managing my own tendencies to get lost in detail and the legal process. I am extremely grateful for Ruth's support in achieving the best possible outcome for my child, thank you Ruth!

Nicola has worked on my case for over a year and has been outstanding throughout what has been an extremely complex and challenging matter. Nicola is highly child focussed, regularly breaking down conversation to what things really mean for my child and their future. Nicola has been a fabulous support to me as I navigated the last year under very stressful circumstances, working hard to ensure my concerns have been heard, responding in the most professional and timely manner and contributed brilliantly to the detail of my case. Nicola is blessed with a fabulously friendly nature and a supportive, compassionate approach, ideal for family law matters. I have no doubt she genuinely cared for both my child and I and I am so grateful for her support and guidance.
I am extremely grateful for Nicola's dedication to achieving the best possible outcome for my child - Thank you Nikki!
