McAlister Family Law

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.

Nicola was a very kind solicitor from the word go. My case was very nuanced and involved difficult emotional abuse of myself and my children. Nicola understood this from the start. Her advice was invaluable. She is a great asset to this firm I can't recommend her more highly.
