McAlister Family Law is delighted to announce the appointment of Nicola Tiernan as a Consultant. Nicola brings over 30 years of experience in family law and is widely recognised as one of the leading experts in the field across the North West. Her appointment marks a significant step in the practice’s ongoing growth and commitment to providing exceptional client service.
Nicola, who ran her own highly successful niche family law practice in South Manchester for two decades, has built a stellar reputation for her tenacity, pragmatism and empathetic approach.
