"I have to write to thank you for your great assistance with my legal problem.

"Alistair helped me address a professional regulatory matter which arose from difficulties in my personal life. He helped me to understand in detail how professional regulators assess cases and supported me to self disclose, even though there had been no professional complaints arising and the issue was from my private life. With Alistair's support, I took the decision to disclose highly sensitive personal information to my regulator and he supported communications with them throughout. This was a terrifying period with what felt like the biggest decisions I'd ever made and the potential to bring a flourishing career down around me. Alistair's advice ultimately resulted in my regulator taking no action against me and I now have the freedom to move on with my life, knowing that I have addressed the issue and it will not re-emerge in later life. I can't thank Alistair and Beltrami enough for the support and advice they have provided to me over the last 14 months and would recommend them to anyone in need of advice in addressing professional regulatory matters." - Testimonial for Alistair McGarvey

"Mr McGarvey took on a very difficult case, where it wasn't clear what area of law would be best suitable.
Alistair gave me professional advice and efficiently actioned my requests. Due to nature of the case, Mr McGarvey had to consult his external sources, which helped the successful outcome of my case." - Testimonial for Alistair McGarvey

"Dear Mr McGarvey, I wish to convey my thanks and appreciation for a great job well done and for arriving to a satisfactory conclusion with my case. You were very helpful and gave great advice and always answered any questions I had. You also dealt with any issues very promptly which was fantastic. I would highly recommend your services." - Anonymous

"I write with great thanks for the professionalism and support shown by Alan Gravelle, Alistair McGarvey and Beltrami support staff over the last two years. I was removed from the nursing register by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) governing body and was not allowed to practice as a nurse, leaving me at an all time low both personally and professionally. Having appraised the NMC hearing outcome, Allan Gravelle recommended that I appeal the NMC decision. With Beltrami & Co representation, six weeks later I was restored to the NMC register, which allowed me to continue practicing as a nurse. Eventually the decision on NMC charges were quashed on appeal, leaving me with a 35 year unblemished record. The empathy, compassion and support given throughout this process has been beyond words and I will be forever grateful to Allan and the Beltrami & Co team. ." – Anonymous

"Alistair McGarvey was invaluable in helping me through a difficult time. Two years ago, I was reported by my former employer to SSSC. I was broken and I knew I could not do this on my own. I needed legal counsel to help me articulate my thoughts, prove my case and prevent me from taking the blame for the failures of my former employer. Today, I am in a better position than I was two years ago. Alistair, I want to thank you very much for your services and for bringing my case to a successful conclusion." – SA

"Beltrami and Company were recommended to me approximately 5 years ago, when I found myself the subject of a criminal and professional investigation. Once the criminal investigation was concluded I was referred to Alistair McGarvey, who specialises in professional conduct hearings as I was subject to proceedings on the grounds of gross misconduct.

One of the most unexpected things for me was how complex and legal in nature and language the whole process is and especially the actual Conduct Hearing itself. I would never have been able to represent myself in such a forum. My impression of Mr. McGarvey throughout the SSSC proceedings has been of someone who is very professional, efficient and knowledgeable in this arena.

Mr. McGarvey dealt with all the documentation and legal aspects of my case. He was direct and open about possible outcomes, his view on how the case should be conducted and the costs involved. During the Hearing, he was extremely well prepared, informed and supportive. I could never have managed the process without his representation.

The outcome was substantially more positive than I had originally expected and I retained my registration. This I solely attribute to Mr. McGarvey and his skill in preparing and presenting my case. I am delighted with the result. I would highly recommend him to anyone who finds themselves subject to conduct proceedings by their professional body." – SS

"Alistair McGarvey provided me with legal services including representation and counsel regarding an investigation by a professional body.

Alistair exhibited an exceptional level of diligence when reviewing evidence and provided sound advice which led to a successful outcome in difficult circumstances. Had I not instructed Alistair I would not be in the position I am today.

I would recommend Alistair to anyone who is facing the difficulties of a legal matter be it criminal, civil, or regarding an investigation. Thanks again Alistair, your help is very much appreciated. " – RC

"Whilst, as you said; you were just doing your job, we want you to know, and perhaps reach a little deeper in your thoughts in order to acknowledge the impact you have had on us and our lives.

On first meeting with you, and thereafter, you were compassionate, caring, genuine, and above all professional and honest. You carried this sincerity throughout every meeting we had, including court attendance and when awaiting decisions by the Judge.

Your endeavors, have kept our family together, and for that we feel truly blessed. Our future now has chances and choices that we may not have had without your efforts." - FM

"We were grateful for the work Alistair undertook in representing our son in a challenging case, where, out of the possible outcomes, he achieved the most advantageous, ensuring justice was done. He handled the case professionally and with considerable sensitivity, presenting a complex background to the incident with clarity." - AA
