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.’

Excellent 5* service from Paul Reay
Paul has always made me feel like he fully gets the situation and fully on my side and very supportive and invested in the case which brings about confidence in him acting for me as I know he’s got mine and my children’s interests at the heart of it. He’s very knowledgable and empathetic and always responds clearly and in good time so communication was really good too. Where we were in court he was very attentive to detail and direct to the point. I’d highly recommend Paul *****

You're in safe hands
I met Paul for the first time representing myself for a family court hearing. He is extremely competent and managed to quickly negotiate a draft order before the hearing which was then a very smooth experience as he put the agreed terms to the judge.

Depend on Paul!
Paul worked tirelessly to resolve a difficult situation with an ex partner that previous solicitors had failed to progress. I would highly recommend him for his professionalism and strong work ethic that speedily resolved a situation that had previously dragged on. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is dealing with anything that needs resolving in relation to family matters and difficult ex partners.

Child Arrangement Order
I was midway through my second set of family court proceedings when I was recommended to get in contact with Paul at McAlister Family Law.
From the beginning, I knew I had made the right decision. Paul has been very approachable, easy to talk to, friendly and very professional throughout.
It was a pleasure to meet him in person during my final hearing where his previous knowledge and experience was obvious. He was able to accurately predict what would happen in the court room, made the process easy for me to understand and gave me ongoing advice as the case progressed. He has also been on hand afterwards with the draft final court order, to ensure there is no ambiguity in the wording.
My only regret is not being in contact with Paul much sooner.
Thanks for everything mate.

Simply the best
I recently had the pleasure of working with Paul Reay from McAlister Family Law Limited on a family matter, and I cannot recommend his services highly enough. Despite the short notice, Paul demonstrated an exceptional level of professionalism, efficiency, and dedication.
After quickly instructing him, I was incredibly impressed with how swiftly he responded. Paul was able to arrange a court appearance via Teams at short notice, ensuring that all necessary actions were taken promptly. His preparation and command over the matter gave me great confidence during what was undoubtedly a stressful time.
Throughout the process, Paul kept me informed, provided clear and concise advice, and was always available to answer any questions I had. His expertise and quick thinking were instrumental in achieving a favorable outcome.
If you are looking for a solicitor who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also highly responsive and reliable, I wholeheartedly recommend Paul Reay at McAlister Family Law Limited.

Paul Reay.
Paul was knowledgable and keen to progress things which was great, but just as importantly was easy to get on with which made things a lot easier and more painless than I was expecting.
Yes, he was doing his job but does it in a way that makes you feel he’s got your best interests at heart and is working hard for you.
I’d definitely recommend Paul to anybody and would be straight on the phone to him again if needed. Top bloke, top firm. Simple as that!

A fantastic solicitor
Paul immediately put my mind at ease as soon as I spoke to him. He was quick to respond each time I had a query, and even offered emotional advice on occasion. He really helped get my case moving quickly when I felt stuck with a previous solicitor. I would recommend this firm.

With us every step of the way!
Paul took over our complicated family case at a time of intense stress. My child was in a traumatised state and had become extremely unwell, due to ongoing harmful parental contact. Paul identified the issues immediately and understood that my child was at risk. He has worked steadfastly to manage the case with care and attention to detail.
Paul has been by our side every step of the way. He prioritised the safety and wellbeing of my son at all times throughout a challenging time. He worked hard to secure the best outcome for my son to be able to thrive again in life and to ensure that he will be able to have a bright future where he feels happy and safe.
We literally could not of got through it all without him! We will be forever grateful and I would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone seeking a personal, thorough, supportive and skilled solicitor.

Simply Amazing
Paul stepped in to assist with my partner's case at a crucial time when it appeared she was being positioned for failure—a scenario that could have had negative implications for her and her son. Immediately, Paul cut through the extraneous details to identify the crux of the issue. Six months on, we secured the positive outcome that my partner and her son truly deserved. Without Paul and his team's involvement, I doubt we would have reached this resolution. We are endlessly appreciative of their support.
