Reviews of Major Family Law

B. A.

My divorce and financial settlement were handled with experienced professionalism, structured sound guidance with tailored advice. My financial settlement was a very tough case, but, at every stage it was hard fought by both Anna Hunter and Anya Harrison. Their tenacity, knowledge, and no nonsense approach along with fantastic court preparation work , secured me the outcome I needed to move forward. They openly advised on realistic outcome paths and scenarios to which way my case could move forward with success. They professionally steered me away from making emotional decisions which, would have waste my time and my money. From making calls to reception, accounts management, handling of my case, Anna and Anya listening and supporting me when 'out of my control' obstacles were put in my way, along with securing me an expert barrister for my court date, my experience is that every team member have given a caring specialized service of exceptional quality and value. Great work Major Family law. Thank you all!

V.

I contacted Major Family Law for further legal advice given difficulties I have been experiencing with my ongoing matter. The response I received was exceptional; they were quick, informative and incredibly sensitive to my situation. For the first time, I genuinely felt that a solicitors firm were genuinely interested in helping me, and not just trying to charge me for services. A seriously great experience, thank you, would recommend to anyone.

I worked with Charles previously. His approach to work is thorough and professional. His advocacy style is uniquely captivating, which is an essential quality in magistrate courts in particular, where engaging the attention of the magistrates or district judge is a significant advantage! Above all, Charles is a consummate gentleman who is able to put clients at ease and impart advice in a plain, no nonsense manner. He often goes the extra mile and the best possible case outcome is at the heart of everything he does,

G. W.

My initial consultation with Joanne made me realise what a complex case this was going to be, she explained fully the process & put me in the extremely capable hands of Calvin Walker. He is highly professional, empathetic, has total understanding, everything was explained fully, including any legal processes and costs, he goes above and beyond with exemplary commitment. I am extremely happy with the positive result for my case, I cannot thank them enough and would highly recommend Major Family Law.

C. M.

I would like to thank Major Family Law and Sam Carter in particular for dealing with my case very promptly. Sam was approachable and friendly, from the initial consultation to the settling of my case. I am very happy with the outcome and should anything arise in the future, I would not hesitate to contact Major Family Law again. Very professional and sound advice given.

J. T.

Major Family Law and Sam in particular have taken what was a very testing and stressful time for me and achieved the prefect result for me. Both me and my daughter wanted to spend more time together but was prevented by my ex using a CAO which was no longer fit for purpose, as it was drawn up when my daughter was very young. Sam worked Tireless to achieve our aim without the requirement of returning to Court or needing mediation. Sam is worth his weight in gold and has proven to be worth every single penny. I would recommend Major Family Law and Sam without hesitation. Thank you for making this Christmas perfect

J. B.

Joanne gave very practical, honest sound advice. Could have taken my case now and invoiced me but recommended next steps go go further independently avoiding unnecessary divorce costs. Definitely use when the time is right. Thank you for honest and frank advice!

v. w.

Joanne is knowledgable and forthright. Just what is needed otherwise I would have spent 45 minutes weeping. She gave sound advice based on law what he gave me a much clearer idea Of what my rights were and what I might expect from a legal process of separation. I will definitely return to Joanne for further advice and support.

A. C.

Major family law were a great help in my experience in gaining more access to my son. Stacy Williams was very professional, very honest and thoughtful in her approach to my case. All the correspondence she sent over on behalf of me were very detailed and I was impressed at how she went about getting the best outcome for me. I can't thank her and family law solicitors enough!

C. W. B. N.

I cannot recommend Major Family Law highly enough . From my initial meeting with Joanne I felt comfortable to discuss my situation with professionals who understood the complexity of my situation . Both Joanne and Rona supported and guided me through this awful time, whilst listening and considering all aspects which were important to me . Major Family Law always made me feel that my family values were considered at each step and for this I shall always be grateful . Rona was very experienced and knowledgeable in family law and was a true support in challenging times .

J. C.

I would like to thank MFL and specially Stacy W for having helped me through my divorce. I could not be any more satisfied about how quick it's all been. Initial consultation was very helpful already. Since then I have received ongoing support and advice. Thanks a lot!

R. C.

Sahil and Stacy were extremely helpful in navigating the very choppy waters of Divorce and everything that comes with it. They helped with both finances and matters related to the children. They were great in providing a calm and measured approach to get the best outcome for me, at a very stressful time in my life. As a result there is much more clarity in my life and am able to move on. If you need help on any family law matters "Better Call Sahil (or Stacy)"

m.

I realise that Major Family Laws main business is divorce and custody cases,but I used this firms Services to help me with a speeding offence. The Lawyer that dealt with my case was a Mr Charles Waddell,right from the very start,the communication from Charles was excellent and very reassuring. Charles is a very friendly helpful and genuine person,and due to his skillful and professional negotiating style we achieved the best result possible in court. I would definitely recomend Major Family Law,and I highly recommend the services of Mr Charles Waddell to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation as myself. Kind regards Mark Dugdale.

P. N.

Divorce can be very stressful, but the team at Major Family Law Led by Joanne Major have been amazing. I would like to thank you all for everything you have done for me, getting me through the hardest time of my life, you really went above and beyond. The team have been pro-active and offered clear advice verbally and by email correspondence, they have been a delight to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Major Family Law to any of my friends seeking a divorce lawyer or looking for any other family law advice. Paul Nowlin

N. J.

I have been a client of this practice for a year now and have nothing but good things to report. I have a good professional relationship with Calvin which I think is very important when working with someone. He is always very professional, and helpful, and the practice in themselves have accommodated my needs very well throughout the time I have spent as a client here. I will definitely be coming to them again if I need to.

P. D.

From my initial email contact to a consultation with Sam I was treated with fairness and efficiency, Sam understood my concerns and dealt with my case effectively. Sam and Major Family Law fulfilled my needs and I would recommend them and definitely use them again if needed.

H. B.

Dear Sahil, Thank you for sorting my case in such a professional and friendly manner. Your advice at every step was exceptional and fair. You gave us peace of mind and confidence. Your team are all helpful and responsive which is refreshing. Many thanks.

H. W.

Major Family Law especially Sam and Stacy have been not just extremely knowledgeable and on the ball but kind, considerate, and thoughtful, i felt safe and well looked after whilst going through a court case which most people including myself found daunting both Sam and Stacy were there to hold my hand throughout, no question i had went unanswered. The “Family” in Major Family Law did not go unnoticed, exactly what you need when your circumstances in your own family change.

Y.

Sahil has been absolutely amazing from beginning to end! He makes you feel at ease by explaining the process clearly. Sahil's level of response and communication is second to none, and he also set expectations clearly to avoid disappointment. Sahil's level of professionalism is simply exceptional! I also dealt with Anya who's brilliant, an excellent communicator and a pleasure to talk to, as well. We don't normally want to be in a position where we need to ask a law firm for their services however, should you need help at a difficult time in your life, I'd certainly recommend 'Major Family Law', and to my friends and family too. Thank You Sahil, Anya and 'Major Family Law'!

A. G.

From very first contact I cannot rate this company highly enough. I had my original free consultation which went on for longer than it should and at no time was I rushed or made to feel like anything apart from valued. Sahil dealt with my case from start to finish during one of the most difficult times of my life. He was professional, reassuring, patient, and extremely supportive, always responding quickly to any any queries raised. I would not hesitate to use the services of Sahil or Major Family Law if I ever need to again and cannot thank Sahil enough for guiding me towards a brighter future.

M. L.

Excellent free consultation. The time was well spent getting a full of picture of the situation and then giving options with rough ideas of the financial implications of each avenue I could explore. I came away with a much clearer idea of what I could do. Very professional.

K. S.

My free consultation was extremely helpful! It has put my mind at ease and given me a much better understanding regarding child custody arrangements. Amazing service!

N. F.

Major Family Law Is a very professional firm with a personal touch I was very pleased with the level of service offered Especially Sahil Aggarwal was very attentive and approachable throughout the process getting me the results I needed and excelling in the level of service provided The best family law lawyer around and I would highly recommend to anyone

M. B.

During what has been a very difficult time in my life, Rona of Major Family Law was my fully trusted guide; providing friendly professional advice at all times, making the process of divorce and financial settlement as simple as possible for me. I am very grateful for her excellent advice and help to get me through the process and agreements as painlessly as possible. Thankyou Rona

3. C. P.

Major family law are currently representing me through my divorce.To date I have found them to be exceptionally helpful , approachable and extremely professional. Stacy my Solicitor and her team have been remarkable in guiding me through the case . Any queries questions I have are dealt promptly and explained in laymen’s terms(my request)and it’s obvious they have an abundance of knowledge dealing with any concerns issues I have . Very Professional helpful and GENUINE (it must be a Geordie thing) Ian👍

j. h.

I enlisted the help of major family law to deal with my case & dealt with Sam Carter. From the very outset Sam was very professional and friendly, he helped with matters and situations that arose quickly and with a calm understanding manner.. I can only say, if you need a family solicitor, I would recommend 100%. Good value for money, professional and very good at what he does Thank you Sam for your time and help. Fantastic service from the outset!

P. F.

Fantastic and very personal service, always on hand to give considered and professional advice. From first contact with Joanne, to working with both Sahil and Stacy, all have been extremely understanding and considerate of a fairly complex situation. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough, they take all the stress away, giving straight, to the point advice and recommendations.

G. H.

I had an excellent consultation with Joanne at Family Law. Very knowledgable and helped me understand where I stood from a legal perspective, where she could provide me with support should I choose to engage her, the potential cost and timescale.

A. M.

Throughout a very difficult period, Sam Carter and Major Family Law provided sound information, advice and guidance. All of my queries were responded to promptly and I felt reassured knowing that I was always in very capable hands. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and the impact that it has had on mine (and most importantly my son's) life has been huge. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to use Sam Carter or Major Family Law again.

S. T.

Very responsive and immediately reassuring in a totally foreign process to me. I particularly appreciated their online questionnaire which saved time and money as I was able to address their very specific questions in my own time, and not pay for their time in doing so. I truly appreciate their insight, expertise and straight talking when it's needed in helping me to navigate some very choppy waters. So grateful for the help so far.

R. S.

I would like to Thanks Major Family Law and A huge thank you to "Charles" with support and knowledge of my driver offence matter as I was very unsure what to do on the free assessment given. This gentleman was very supportive in answering questions and his advice helped me as I was looking at 6points for a insurance matter. His expert advice saved me today and the court decided to withdraw the case thankfully. I would recommend Charles for driving offences and more complex cases to others in need as his knowledge and advise was much effective then other firms beforehand. Once again want to thank the firm who are amazing and Charles specially. Thank you , Raj

T. N.

Major Family Law are the North East's best known Firm of expert Divorce and Children solicitors. I have recommended Joanne and her team of specialists to many of my friends who need family law help. And I will continue to do so. They are all responseable, knowledgable and very kind and caring.

T. H.

A really professional firm to work with, but with a really friendly touch. I would definitely recommend them. Rona was very approachable and I felt I was being looked after by her and the team.

D. F.

My heartfelt thanks to Major Law firm for managing my divorce case successfully, with best possible outcome for me , against a very strong and reputable opposition. Divorce can be very traumatic particularly in advancing years . Major Law firm provided me with excellent support and advice throughout the case. Thanks to Joanne for providing me with right advice and clear directions , in this complex case as it evolved over the last 2 years , specially when my back was against the wall. Communications were very prompt all through the pandemic. My special thanks to Calvin who looked after my case on a day to day basis , he understood me and the complex needs of my case . His hard work , detailed and prompt responses and preparation of the court bundles were key to the final favourable decision. His detailed liaison with counsel was commendable and very effective for the fair and final outcome . The firms office and support staff were courteous , helpful and professional . I was provided with updated and projected costs in details , which were very transparent . I have no hesitation in recommending Major law firm for all family law needs . Couldn’t have gone through with this without all of you . Many thanks.

L. M.

From the beginning to the end their service is absolutely acceptional, I cannot reccomend Major Family Law enough. Helen is absolutely brilliant and getting appointments arranged and after speaking to Joanne I cant say how much help and support she gave me. Truely Fantastic solicitors!!

S. R.

I could not recommend the services of my Solicitor Sam Carter and his colleagues at Major Family Law enough. From the get go, Sam was able to take stock of my circumstances and quickly understand my predicament, where others had previously struggled, and through his constant professionalism, methodical approach and calm demeanour he was able to guide and support me through a very difficult situation that ended with the best outcome possible.

T. B.

I needed an authoritative opinion on a financial matter relating to a Court Order. I had a pro bono conversation with Lewis Hulatt. Extremely helpful. Should this particular matter ever be progressed I will not hesitate to instruct Major Family Law.

G. F.

I have recently used the services of Major Law . From the initial meeting with Joanne, through to my dealings with Sahil who handled the case, I have been 100% satisfied. Sahil replies to emails promptly and was always very helpful throughout., giving accurate and helpful information and guidance, Culminating in a very successful outcome. Their professional service is way above and the cost way below ,what I have been used to, dealing with the ''Big Law Firms'' in the city. Many thanks to Joanne and Sahil, I will not hesitate to contact you again ,should the need arise.

K. T.

I am so pleased that I chose Major Family Law to represent me and guide me through a divorce and financial settlement. It is not yet finalised but my assigned lawyer Sahil Aggarwal has guided me every step of the way through the legal process. Even when at times I was ready to capitulate and accept a low settlement and move on, he understood my mindset and thankfully explained the detriment to my long term future that decision would mean. With his support I am staying the course and I have to say he is worth the overall cost. I will be able to look to my future with less financial worry as I move into retirement. Thank you MFL.

B. C.

I turned to Major Family Law to assist in a complex private law matter. Calvin Walker was assigned my case and I have been very impressed! He is knowledgeable, reasonable, thorough, honest and; above all else, he takes time to understand my circumstances and represent me professionally - all at an affordable fee. Highly recommended!

j. m.

From the original consultation with Joanne, I felt that Major Family Law were going to be an exceptional, knowledgeable and professional family solicitor to steer me through the tough times. Sahil and the team were always responsive to any enquiries I had, and kept me updated every step of the way. Thanks all

T. G.

After making the difficult decision to take legal advice and action, I am so grateful to Stacy Williams at Major Family Law who has made such a scary and difficult process easier to manage with patience and empathy and took her time to understand my case and circumstances offering me honest and useful advice as well as so much support. I cant recommend enough, thank you

i.

"I would like to acknowledge my thanks to Stephanie Layton for her help in obtaining my divorce. Divorce is not an activity that I wish to engage in too often, as it is a long process, stressful from the onset and all the way through. Therefore, I am very grateful to Stephanie Layton and the team at Major Family Law for their guidance, rational approach, wisdom, efficiency and humanity in helping me from the initial step. Stephanie’s response to queries were timely, with comprehensive & knowledgeable answers to all my questions. Stephanie is most kind and understanding in what was a very difficult time in my life – she prepared me for court and I was able to keep calm and think under extreme pressure. I am extremely grateful!" Update: Now my Pension has been shared with the 'Other Side' that is the final dealing with Major Family Law - Anya Harrison has chased and got the result I wanted - thank you Anya and Joanne for your 'Dogged' approach to sorting my Pension Share out ! Respect !

F. T.

I used Major Family Law to help me with my divorce, which was tricky because my ex-spouse was not cooperative. They were very knowledgeable and were attentive to the particular situation of my case. They gave helpful advice that was personalised to my situation and didn't give me cookie-cutter advice. They are not cheap, but you get what you pay for. I would thoroughly recommend them if you are going through a difficult divorce.

R. C.

Charles helped me so much throughout my court case and took a lot of pressure off me and very affordable.

M. W.

I had a family-related legal query and contacted Major Family Law about it. They were quick in getting back to me with an opinion. Other events then took over so I did not engage them but I was impressed with both the understanding and responsiveness they demonstrated. They will be my first port-of-call if I need to pursue any other similar matter in the future, for sure.

P. S.

Had a free 45 minute consultation with Joanne. Extremely helpful, knowledgeable and professional. The system used to collect information prior to the consultation really does speed everything up and helped to ensure that I had all of the information I needed to hand.

P. B.

Anna Hunter of Major Family Law provided fantastic support, understanding and advice during my complex divorce process - demonstrating a keen eye for detail, clear management of expectations and technical expertise. Anna was always on hand to advise and I would highly recommend her.

D. S.

At a difficult time in your life such as divorce you need the professional advice such as I got from Sahil at Major Family Law. He was sensitive to my needs and gave me the best advice for me. His genuine advice allowed me to get the job done as smoothly as possible (given the antics of my antagonistic ex), while also keeping costs to a minimum. Thanks.

B. W.

I contacted Major Family Law having read the reviews and having previously had some challenging involvement with other solicitors. I was a little concerned as I am based in the South of the UK and they are in the North but having made initial contact my concerns were unfounded as with many businesses these days everything is done remotely. I really only wanted some advice about a past divorce but wanted an honest evaluation of the situation. From my first email and the almost immediate response from Helen Charlton their Client Manager, the subsequent phone call clarifying my situation and the completion of the very informative on line form, to my virtual meeting a couple of days later with Joanne Major who was understanding, knowledgeable and showed empathy for my situation whilst being totally realistic and managing my expectations. I am hoping I will not need to utilise the services of Joanne following on from her advice, but I would not hesitate in contacting if needed and would certainly recommend to anyone who finds themselves requiring direction or information in this area. Thank you both 🙏

M. R.

I got in contact with Major Family Law earlier this year in regards to a child arrangement case. From the first call I knew they were the firm for me the service received was second to none. Everyone is friendly, professional and polite no matter what time you call. I was allocated Calvin for my case and honestly I couldn't ask for anyone better, he was always there when I needed him and was highly professional through the whole case. I would definitely recommend Major Family Law to anyone who needs them because honestly they have made what has been a very tough experience so much easier. Thank you so much to everyone for all the help during this matter. Matthew

E. A.

I was represented by Lucinda Connell for my divorce and she made the whole process completely stress free. Her professionalism and knowledge resulted in a positive outcome in my case, achieving exactly what I requested. I would highly recommend Major Family Law.

E. C.

Great service from Major Family Law and Sahil my solicitor. I've needed to ask alot of questions and everything was answered with a full explanation. This has been a stressfree process thanks to Major Family Law and my solicitor. Would highly recommend this law firm.

M. G.

I found my free initial consultation to be informative, the solicitor that I spoke to went above and beyond expectations, I genuinely couldn’t ask for any more from this company. Should I need a solicitor in the future then this will be my first port of call, do not let their name put you off, they are more friendly than the seemingly smaller companies. Thank you major family law.

A. m.

I can highly recommend Major Family Law, they have been most helpfull and extremely professional. I would like to thank Sahil for all his work, the support he has given me and the speed in which he deals with any questions and replies to e-mails.

J. R.

Many thanks to Rona Samuel of Major Family Law who worked tirelessly on my behalf during a very difficult divorce settlement. Her approachable and professional manner exceeded all my expectations and I would have no hesitation in recommending Major Family Law when in need.

A. W.

I was very impressed with the legal advice I received from Joanne Major which was accompanied by helpful references to the English legal system. Joanne took care to allow sufficient time for me to understand the various outcomes of my situation.

G. B.

A well-known professional firm of family lawyers I would highly recommend. Excellent advice and communication from Lucinda Connell and the team. First class service throughout. Thank you again Lucinda.

A. T.

A well-known professional firm of family lawyers I would definitely recommend. I received excellent service and support from Rona and her team from start to finish, this was a very challenging time for me, but Rona made it as stress free as possible. I was kept up to date with the whole process through regular emails and phone calls and everything was explained to me in a way I could understand.

D. H.

Major Family Law are a highly regarded specialist family law firm with some excellent lawyers

J. P.

Calvin was extremely helpful providing clear guidance throughout. Very professional and always had a clear understanding and deep knowledge of my case and individual circumstances achieveing a positive outcome.

S. C.

I initially reached out to Sam Carter for advice on a relocation matter regarding my two young boys. From the outset Sam was professional and extremely knowledgeable, whilst showing understanding and compassion. From that first meeting, right up until our day in court Sam has been there for us every step of the way, often feeling more like a friend than our legal representation. At times I have just needed to talk things through with Sam for a bit of reassurance and he was always there. I do hope we don't need Sam's services again, but if we do I would go straight back to him and would not hesitate to recommend him to our own friends and family. Thankfully, the application to move my children was denied, but either way my opinion of Sam would not have changed. He's the best person to have fighting your corner.

C. R.

Major Family Law is a specialist family law firm that I would not hesitate to recommend with readily accessible offices just outside of Newcastle. Whether meeting in person, speaking on the phone or by email/letter everything regarding my case was explained fully and clearly and handled promptly. I felt very supported and informed every step of the way, and enabled me to navigate my divorce with the least amount of stress possible.

A.

I had a difficult family case and Sam was quick, clear and concise when getting back to me. After explaining what solutions were available to me, he then helped massively in getting the best result possible. Could not recommend Major Family Law more.

A. R.

A big thank you to Calvin for leading my case through it’s through trials and tribulations. Calvin handled the case excellently. He was very detailed and quick to spot inconsistencies in the other side’s argument. Family cases are by design emotional and at times when I ‘couldn’t see the wood for the trees’ he was great at explaining complexities of the legal system in relation to my case, to the point where he knew the details of my own case better than I did. He was also always upfront and open about costs and provided a detailed forecast of costs, with further reviews if the direction of the case changed. His work and briefings with counsel were described by the senior barrister as pretty much perfect, which was key in getting the best result possible. All this done with a good sense of humour when applicable! The result is I now have the best possible platform to build on going forwards, which would not have been possible without Calvin’s work.

H. H.

I contacted Charles for advice after being charged with being Drunk in Charge. I have previously been convicted of Drink Driving, several years before, so didn’t hold much hope of a good result, especially since the court decided to increase my new charge to Drink Driving. Unfortunately, Charles couldn’t represent me in court as I’m based in London however, he kept in constant contact with me throughout and outside of my court appearances to offer me help and guidance, made himself available should I need his expertise (which I usually did!) and ensured I was confident and informed enough to attend my appearances alone. I received the best possible outcome I could from my case, and can confidently say that it certainly wouldn’t have happened without Charles’ help throughout. Hopefully, I should never need legal help again but should I do, I’d never hesitate in contacting Charles again, and will always highly recommend him and this company to anyone. Thank you so much for all you’ve done for me!

l. t.

A well deserved 5 stars for Lucinda and everyone at Major Family Law. They handled my divorce case in the most professional way, giving practical, timely and realistic advice. I always felt that they genuinely cared about my case, showing compassion and also emotional support through what was a traumatic period of my life. Thankfully things are on the up now and I can't thank Lucinda and the team enough for helping me get to this point. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Lucinda and all the team at the practice. If I could have given 10 starts I would have. Thank you all.

C. K.

I have been dealing with Jonathan Dunkley for the last 12 months with a matter that never seems to end. Jonathan’s commitment, professionalism and personal touch to my case which has been frustrating for us both has been second to none. He has always been available when needed no matter how big or small the matter has been and at times at all hours! I used a previous firm prior to Jonathan taking over and the difference between the two is night and day. I could not recommend Jonathan enough for helping and supporting you in some of your most difficult moments. Jonathan has the ability to make you feel like you are his most important client just when you need it the most and I can highly recommend everything he has done for me. Thank you so much. Chris

G. W.

I was very pleased with Sahil as my divorce solicitor. It was a very stressful time for me and I found it difficult to cope with my anxiety at times. Sahil was always calm and would talk me round by explaining how the law was on my side, really simplifying and taking the process one step at a time. We achieved the desired outcome of a 50% split despite dealing with, lets just say, a very difficult and unreasonable opposition.

P.

I had a free initial consultation with Major Family Law & I found both Joanne & Helen to be professional, friendly & easy to talk to. The appointment with Joanne was very informative & helpful, I absolutely recommend this Law Firm. It's clear that all the positive reviews which made me choose this Firm are well deserved.

J. F.

Having chosen Major Family Law on the basis of the reviews, the current 5 stars is totally justified. Sahil Aggarwal and the whole team have provided excellent service throughout the process. Would highly recommend.

T.

Without any hesitation I would recommend Major Family Law. At the heart of our divorce was our adult dependent son with a learning disability. Lewis Hulatt applied his considerable knowledge of our circumstances to our case. Throughout my dealings I felt listened to, understood and supported, whilst being kept fully informed and looking forward. At no point did I doubt the expertise of our team.

L. W.

As a family mediator and a non-practising family solicitor I've been aware of Major Family Law for some years. One of the unexpected upsides of COVID has been that a move to work more collegiately between practitioners now does not have geographical limitations. As we're all working online practitioners from the North and the South can easily work together. This provides greater opportunities for working with practitioners that are further away from me but which I have always had enormous professional respect for. I really like the non-adversarial and constructive approach that has been taken by Major Family Law combined with their friendly but professional approachability.

C. K.

I highly recommend Jonathan Dunkley at Major Family Law. Jonathan helped me achieve the best possible outcome in my recent case, which wouldn’t have happened without his commitment and persistence. Thank you again Jonathan for your knowledge, support and professionalism. I am extremely grateful for the guidance, efficiency and exceptional service demonstrated throughout the process.

T. C.

I approached Major family law after looking for top family law firms in the North East. From start the finish I was impressed. Sam offered a consultation of 45 minutes which straight away gave me the confidence to go with Major Family Law. Sam was incredibly understanding as I was obviously extremely stressed under the circumstances. He always calmed me down, was easy to contact, provided me with all the information I needed and more importantly worked hard to win my case. As it was a relocation case it was an upward battle and prospects seemed low however Sam worked tirelessly even when he was on holiday to ensure my case was always moving forward. I could not recommend Sam enough. He was an excellent solicitor who did everything he could to help me. His knowledge was excellent, he was very well connected, he understood financial situations and communicated well. Thank you Sam for all your help and for giving my family the opportunity to start their new life abroad.

D. C.

Sahil was very supportive, professional and a hub of knowledge. He explained things in very simple terms and really put me at ease. I would recommend him to anyone who needs advice. Thanks again Sahil

P. J.

I received exceptional service from Sam Carter, an associate at Major Law. Sam was simply magnificent and provided clear and honest advice as well as fabulous support during a very emotive child relocation case. Sam was extremely responsive to any questions or queries I may have had and always responded in a timely fashion. Sam was always professional and showed empathy and guidance which I am truly grateful for and I genuinely do not believe that I would have succeeded without Sam as he provided me with the confidence to fight and continue during a very difficult and distressing time for my family. I would not hesitate to use Sam again in the future regarding any future representation I required and his ability and knowledge shone through. Thank you again. My family deeply appreciate everything Sam did and I cannot tell you how much of a positive difference he made.

L. S.

I reached out to Major Family Law after being ripped off, failed, experienced poor service and having been mis-represented in court by another solicitors in North Shields. I was nervous about being able to trust another solicitor but I conducted research for a specialist solicitor in family Law and over and over again, Major Family Law was recommended. As soon as I met Sam Carter I felt like it was going to be a completely different experience. We had an initial consultation and after I left to reflect, I decided he was the right person (with Major Family Law) to represent us. Sam was nothing but professional and friendly from the start. He explained everything to us, broke everything down, told us all options, outlined expected costs (both up front and every step of the way), he was extremely knowledgeable and his communication was excellent. Sam helped us with a complicated case and we got the outcome we were looking for extremely quickly. Thank you Sam and Major Family Law for helping us through this and restoring my faith in solicitors! I highly recommend both Major Family Law and Sam Carter to get the job done.

Rona Samuel provided an excellent, professional and personal service. I would definitely recommend Major Family Law and Rona to others. Rona went above and beyond even going into work on her days off to work on my case. She understood my needs and was easy to talk to and made me feel at ease at all times. Her knowledge was outstanding and she kept me informed about everything that was happening in my case. Major Family Law gave me detailed itemised bills so the costs were very transparent. Rona made things easier in a difficult time and I would highly recommend her and Major Family Law.

S. P.

Lucida steered me through a difficult divorce which dragged out due to my husband's refusal to engage with the process. She was sympathetic and responsive throughout and the outcome was better than I could have hoped for. I would definitely recommend.

K. A.

A very reputable firm of family lawyers whom I recommend without hesitation to assist in family law and divorce matters. I was treated with utmost courtesy throughout in a professional and very timely manner.

O. G.

Choosing Major Family Law and Charles Waddell to represent with my case is one of the best choices I’ve ever made! Mr Waddell went above and beyond to help me get me the best result in my case, he was very professional and took great care in making sure I was understanding of everything that was going on and overall a great bloke to work with! I’d highly recommend Mr Waddell and Major family Law to anyone looking for a solicitor!

t. a.

Upon walking in you are made to feel welcome, the office is beautifully decorated and you would expect it may be on the more expensive side due to the decor and service from first impressions.However it cost the same as a previous solicitor whom we were disappointed with.It is a high end service at an average cost. A free consultation from Sam was all we needed to decide we should go ahead.He is calming, thorough, always keeping you up to date and gives you a realistic view of outcomes.He also dealt with things himself from start to finish as opposed to a previous company who had different people dealing with it all of the time. We cannot recommend Sam and this company enough and are thrilled with the outcome. Thank you

A. Y.

Thank you for the very professional support during my recent divorce. This professionalism was accompanied by kindness and understanding. My divorce was very difficult and, at times, traumatic, but Sam Carter and the team moved my case along efficiently from the start to hearing. Queries either by telephone or email were always acted upon by return and this really inspired confidence in my Solicitor. My decision to choose Major Family Law to handle my divorce was certainly the right one! Even though we are still waiting for the final Consent Order every time I see an email it concerns me but after I speak with Sam I feel at ease.

D. M.

I can't recommend Christian Swinburne and the team at Major Family Law enough. Having dealt with a number of solicitors and barristers in recent years the prospect of having to consult with someone else in the legal profession was incredibly daunting and very anxiety provoking. My experience of Christian couldn't have been further from previous legal advisors I've had. He was highly professional and able to strike a balance between legal and non legal speak that I'd understand without becoming overwhelmed. Christian was very personable and frankly quite the opposite of solicitors and barristers I've dealt with over the past 10 years. The administrative staff at the firm were also incredibly friendly and couldn't do enough for me. People don't tend to mention the environment in which you meet solicitors and lawyers. I think this is really important to flag up here as Major Family Law have the most beautiful, calming room as a waiting area. There's stunning contemporary landscape paintings on opposite walls that draw you in. There's gentle music in the background, soft lighting, wonderful smells. It's an incredibly calming and reflective space and not one I'd have expected to find in a law firm. But it works. The thought behind it and the positive impact it could have on potentially anxious, nervous, upset, angry, and volatile clients is, in my opinion nothing short of genius. I wish other businesses, not just a law firm, would take note of this and seriously think more of the impact of the environment on their clients, customers and patients. Five stars from me. Thank you so very much.

T. S.

I was recommended Major Family Law by a close friend after going through an extremely traumatic time with my ex partner. Sam Carter was not only exceptionally knowledgeable, he was also compassionate and empathetic with the sensitive nature of the case. He was given just over a days notice of our urgent court hearing and arranged an excellent barrister for a court location of over 300 miles from his office. The firm were happy to take on the case despite our South London location. Sam was highly professional, rose to the challenge and got the outcome needed for our family. Many thanks Louise, Tom and Emma

p. G.

Could not be happier with the customer service received from Sahil and the reception staff. Extremely informative and patient. Would highly recommend this law firm.

E. D.

A highly recommended firm of family lawyers. I was a little hesitant at consulting solicitors as my circumstances were rather unusual. However, I was instantly made to feel at ease and given very clear and considered legal advice. Helen and Lucinda were really helpful and knowledgeable and I can't thank them enough. Top rate!

M.

Major Family Law gave me a great opportunity to work with them while doing my law conversion course. The experience showed me that the practice has an excellent team who are extremely knowledgable and professional yet very caring. They appreciate the importance of providing an approachable and reliable service. Their primary objectives are always to attain the best results for their client, without unnecessary conflict and distress. I would strongly recommend their services to those needing family law advice.

A. V.

Regrettably, I was involved in a drink driving incident for which I was not guilty, despite having been over the legal limit. I contacted Charles Waddell at Major Family Law who helped me with the case and despite the court initially disqualifying me from driving for 17 months, two weeks later, undeterred Charles convinced the court to suspend my disqualification whilst at the same time appealing the magistrates courts decision to the Crown Court - it took almost two and a half years to resolve all of the issues but Charles never gave up and succeeded in getting me the best possible outcome I could have hoped for - a reduction in my ban from 17 months down to 2.5 months. I highly recommend this firm and thank them and Charles for all they have for me - my licence is extremely important to me both for business and motorsport.

I. C.

Rona Samuel Major Family Law Well how do I start to describe this lady and her expertise? Rona is a true professional but at the same time is totally client focused and has guided me with her very level headed but very caring approach, through what has been quite a long and complex divorce. Rona leaves no stone unturned and has quite a knack of predicting the opposition in their every move. I would never hesitate to recommend Rona's services and also the understanding nature of Major Family Law as a firm in general. One in a million for sure!!!

M. G.

Thank you to Joanne for a very informative consultation.. The appointment was professional, thoughtful and helpful. Would recommend.

S. H.

With regards to Sahil Aggarwal – now working at Major Family Law, Sahil worked with me as legal advisor and council during a particularly difficult family situation. I can honestly say at all times I was kept well informed and guided with great professionalism through complex and challenging issues by Sahil. I would describe Sahil as professional, extremely capable of explaining the view the law would take on any aspects raised and was always prepared to listen to the questions before giving good considered advice. Shane

D. V.

I really only wanted advice on a specific circumstance to do with my divorce and Joanne was able to dispense this in our free consultation. She was very helpful, offering just the sort of guidance I was seeking. If I need more advice in future, I will be sure to contact her again. Thank you Joanne.

M. S.

Major family law were recommended to handle my daughters trust fund. The fund was opened following a very painful and messy divorce. Joanne and her team were very understanding and sympathetic of the whole situation. They have a holistic approach which deals with not only the legalities of their cases but also the emotional well being of their clients. They continue to be extremely helpful and supportive and I know my daughters funds are in safe hands. I would highly recommend their services to prospective clients and only wish I had contacted them sooner.

P. T.

An excellent law firm. Highly, highly recommended. I spoke to many lawyers but decided to hire Mr Waddell as he was very thorough and meticulate through the details, unlike others who seem to have an agenda. A superb lawyer. MFL should give him a pay rise. Many thanks for all your help.

J. W.

We had an excellent experience with Major Family Law who dealt with a cross border guardianship matter for us. Sam Carter was a pleasure to deal with; professional , personable and persuasive, he managed to achieve not only our desired outcome in the court proceedings, but also was able to convince the judge to make an order on another related matter to avoid us having to pursue that separately through the Scottish courts. Great service.

C. A.

Joanne Major and her team of specialist family lawyers were both compassionate and professional when they dealt with my matrimonial problems. The situation was complicated by my husband trying to conceal and deny his assets, but it was obvious Joanne Major was used to dealing with these sorts of issues nor was she fazed by bullish correspondence from my husband's solicitor. Although she was compassionate, she was still able to give constructive and pragmatic advice and without her assistance I doubt I could have achieved the justice I obtained at the conclusion of my case. I have recently recommended her to a friend whose wealthy husband was unwilling to face up to his responsibilities. She also is impressed about how things are progressing. I would have no hesitation in recommending Joanne Major to others facing the breakdown of their marriage. She is a strong lawyer who leads a strong capable team.

M. F.

Just want to say thank you to Christian Swinburne and Major Family Law for an unexpectedly easy and pleasant experience in writing my will. I did this with my husband during free wills month for over 55s. It was a task we had put off for some time - but Christian made us feel very comfortable and his excellent advice made everything easy to understand and decide. Would highly recommend his services.

L.

I have worked with the team at Major Family Law over several years both in a professional and personal capacity. I have been very impressed with their quick responses, clear and sensible advice and focus on achieving the best solutions without unnecessary conflict. They are extremely knowledgeable yet friendly and empathetic and I have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

S. P.

I worked with Joanne Major and her excellent team as a consultant Family Lawyer a few years ago and have kept in regular touch with the firm thereafter. Their expertise and standard of client care is second to none and l would not hesitate to recommend them. Keep up the great work!

L. C.

Calvin Walker was excellent throughout my family court hearings. Understanding, knowledgeable and always clear and concise. Thank you once again! I would throughly recommend the law firm.

C. W.

Joanne was recommended by a family friend. I found her both very professional and informative. She put me at ease and gave me sound but pragmatic advice and much food for thought. Using the information she gave me I was able to start resolving the impasse with my ex husband and draw our divorce to a conclusion. I would recommend Joanne to others in a similar situation.

J. A.

Major Family Law are an outstanding law firm who provide professional, sympathetic and pragmatic advice. Joanne and her team really do know how to put their clients at ease and I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone needing advice on a family law issue.

R. D.

I found Melanie Barnes to not only be compassionate & empathetic, but also a solicitor with an outstanding knowledge of divorce law together with a wealth of experience & practical application. Her high level of understanding of even the most complex areas in this field leaves you confident that you are in safe hands. I could not recommend her highly enough, she stands out far above the rest!

C. T.

I recently visited Major Family Law in Ponteland to write my will. Christian Swinburne did an excellent job. He was friendly and welcoming and made me feel very relaxed and at ease. I would recommend Christian unreservedly and will certainly call upon him in the future if I require further services. Thank you.

J. M.

Very happy with the services, although never saw Sahil Aggarwal in person but really helpful throughout procedure.. highly recommended to anyone

S. S.

Having struggled over a nine year period to obtain Parental Responsibility, I turned to Major Family Law with Anna Hunter taking on my case. The service provided, knowledge and experience of Anna and the team was first class. Anna was always on hand to provide advice and guidance and managed my expectations throughout the process. Before I had engaged with Anna I had always assumed that this was going to result in a long and drawn out process stuck in the courts with massive bills incurred and the complete opposite was true, I still cannot believe how quick and painless this was. Anna hand-held me through everything and after a short, painless journey where the need to go to court was not even necessary, I am now so proud and happy to say that all objectives were met with positive outcomes. I cannot thank Anna enough or recommend her highly enough.

S. O.

I found Major Family Law to be approachable, supportive, efficient and professional throughout this very difficult time for me. From first contact to case closure I received timely, helpful advice. They were always easy to contact and any questions were dealt with promptly. I particularly appreciated the calm, compassionate manner that I encountered as well as their ability to signpost me to other sources of support when I needed it. Particular thanks to Lucinda Connell and Claire Sowerby.

J. P.

Lucinda made a complicated and unpleasant business as straightforward and easy as possible. Her clarity and support throughout the process was invaluable. I'm happy to recommend this company.

P. J.

During the past months, Joanne Major and her team have dealt very professionally and with great understanding of my difficult situation. During my divorce and division of assets, despite there being many reasons and occasions to be exasperated by the behaviour of my ex-wife, Major Family Law handled the situation very well and stuck to the matter at hand. In addition to Joanne, the staff team and particularly Rebecca, Helen and Avril, gave me tremendous support during a very trying time. Barrister Roger Bickerdike, recommended by Joanne, provided a flawless counsel. I cannot thank the team enough.

A. G. U.

I can't thank Major Family Law enough for the service I received during my protracted divorce proceedings. At such a stressful time in my life, the circumstances to my case could have easily taken a heavy toll on my health and emotional wellbeing. The advice and guidance I received helped to keep me focused on the matters in hand and ultimately, obtain the desired outcome to my case. I can't stress enough how grateful I am to my specialist family solicitors, Joanne Major, Anna Hunter and their support team for ensuring I received a thoroughly professional and personal service during such testing circumstances. I imagine that divorce is never a pleasant experience, even in the most amicable of cases, however, it's reassuring to know you are treated with individual care and attention by all staff members and not just simply seen as "another case". HB

F. m.

I will always be eternally grateful for all the hard work Sam Carter and team did for me and my family. I cannot sing Major family law's praises loud enough, nothing was ever too much, no deadline was too soon and work and representation always exceptional! Going through the family court system was one of the toughest things that I have ever endured, but with Sam to guide me through all of the available options and to guide me through the procedure by explaining each step of the way in a manner that I could comprehend it didn't seem too daunting. I often called Sam in a panic and always hung up the phone call feeling relieved and calm knowing that Sam would do everything in his power. From the bottom of my heart i am eternally grateful for their tireless work. Thank you. Fraser

N. W.

The Practice fully deserves its five stars. I dealt directly with Joanne, who was unwavering in her professionalism and provided expert counsel throughout. In fact, all contact points were always professional and provided a superb service.

C. S.

We can’t thank Major Family Law enough. Sam Carter dealt with our matter regarding Step-parent Parental Responsibility. Through the whole process Sam was very knowledgeable and reassuring, communication was second to none. In addition to this, we was able to gain the positive outcome we hoped for. An extremely professional and efficient service which we highly recommend. Thank you Sam.

T. P.

I refer and recommend Major Family Law to family, friends and clients within my company. I have complete confidence in Joanne and her superb team providing the best advice and truly 'looking after' their clients and the results they achieve speak volume.

K. P.

I found Major Law Firm first class in all respects. Joanne Major and her team always delivered excellent service, were easily accessible and gave me expert guidance / advice at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending them the others.

J. T.

As a fellow family law professional I would have no hesitation in recommending Major Family Law. Jo Major leads her team with great energy and skill and Mel Barnes, with whom I worked for a number of years as a family lawyer, is extremely committed to her clients' cases.

F. C.

Lovely friendly and extremely helpful family law firm. The knowledge and Experience of Anna Hunter was outstanding. Anna was extremely sympathetic and my rock during the collaborative process of my divorce. I can not thank you enough. I have and will recommend you.

J. B.

I went through a truly awful time with my Ex partner during child proceedings. I couldn't recommend Lucinda Connell enough, her experience and professionalism during the toughest of times shone through. I couldn't have got through it, had it not been for the support, advice and outstanding service from both her and all the staff at Major Family Law - a firm I'd highly recommend to anyone going through a tough time.

P. B.

My husband and I recently consulted with Christian Swinburne regarding the preparation of our wills. The whole process was handled very professionally in a friendly and relaxed way. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Major Family Law, and Christian in particular, to family and friends. Patricia and William Batley.

L. C.

I recently had the pleasure of dealing with Christian at Major Family Law in connection with the writing of my will. As something I have put off for a while, he made the whole experience stress free and straight forward. I would like to thank him very much, and would thoroughly recommend using this friendly family team.

A. H.

Major Family Law are an exceptional firm with a laudable focus on client care. The support staff are knowledgeable, professional and helpful, and the solicitors each have more than enough experience and talent to advise on any family law issue with precision and nuance.

M. S.

Had a free consultation with Major Family Law and sat down with Major herself! Couldn't believe it at first and was a little star struck! She gave me a lot of information in regards to my situation and having discussed this with my wife we got onto an amicable footing! Thank you and definitely worthy of 5*

D. H.

I found Christian Swinburne to be warm, friendly and an excellent communicator. His service was efficient and reasonably priced, what is not to like. I also understand he is rather partial to the odd glass of red wine which makes him all the more approachable. I wish the firm every success.

M.

I've made more progress in a few weeks with the team than previous months elsewhere. Would very much recommend to anyone.

A. T.

Much credit and recommendations to solicitor Christian Swinburne as I found the advice i received in relation to making my new Will clear and helpful. He was polite, warm and easy to talk to. It also helped that it was FREE Will Making Month for the over 55's.

C. T.

Jonathan Dunkley of Major Family Law has been helping with a couple of things - most recently an unusual road traffic / speeding incident, that could have catastrophic knock-on consequences (connected to UK citizenship). He's been incredibly helpful in communicating with CPS on the unusual circumstances, using his experience in such matters to hep get the relevant points across, in the appropriate way to try to achieve the right outcome. His expert input and guidance has been much appreciated - would certainly recommend him to anyone in need of a solicitor.

B. H.

A well known and professional firm of family lawyers. Rona was always quick to respond with clear advice and was incredibly supportive - thank you. Would highly recommend.

A. C.

I would definitely recommend Rona from Major family Law for representation in family law cases. She continues to support me when needed. A fully professional service.

I. S.

Fantastic law firm that have worked relentlessly in an emotional and stressful time for myself and my son. Always felt safe and secure in their guidance and they have secured the result I needed every step of the way in my legal battle. I can not thank Major Family Law enough and will forever be grateful for the care and time they have provided for me with.

D. S.

I saw Joanne due to my Marriage ending, i needed advice on how to procede and where i stood finacialy. She gave me a lot of advice that i took on board, i can't thank her and her team enough for their help. I would highly recommend Major Family Law.

P. R.

Major Family Law have been an absolute rock on which i have relied throughout what has been a very difficult time for me and my family. I cannot rate Sam and his team highly enough for both the way they handled the often difficult legal aspects of the case, as well as how they helped me personally deal with the many difficult and complex challenges we faced and for always being available, even when i just needed some personal reassurance.

D. B.

I simply couldn't recommend Major Family Law & Melanie Barnes highly enough. Her strong sense of professional and willingness to go the extra mile, coupled with her honest but very empathetic approach, gave me every confidence in the advice I was given. Genuine thanks to both Melanie & Major Family Law!

L. M.

Sam Carter helped me through a very stressful situation regarding my children. Very professional from start to finish and always on hand to offer advice and how to move forward legally. Thank you for supporting me to achieve the outcome we did.

G. C.

I'm not usually one for writing reviews but the outstanding service that this company provides warrants a review and more. The South East Surrey based arm of Major Family Law are knowledgable, professional, reassuring and forward thinking. Their remote 24 hour service and Skype appointments added another dimension to their service and proved very useful. Not often you find a company at the top of their game without loosing the values and the outstanding personal service which put them there.

B. K.

I can honestly not rate Jonathan Dunkley high enough. Excellent advice, way above and beyond personal service with deep integrity. Whilst going through the most challenging of circumstances he manages to keep you on the right track!

V. W.

I cannot thank Rebecca, Avril and the team at Major Family Law enough. They provided a professional service, with expert advice, responding quickly and caringly to any queries and help I needed.

I would recommend him and his firm to anyone. First class service.

I just wanted to include a personal note to thank Lewis Hulatt for his dedicated contribution; supporting and diplomatically guiding us in the latest complex court case. What an outstanding result. Lewis, you are an honourable lawyer and I am so grateful you were on our path and able to help us put a stop to the long term toxic aggression that we were faced with. The feeling over the outcome is still very humbling.

V. T.

I found Major Family Law very supportive, and patient explaining the legal terminology surrounding our Will situation. I would happily return to Christian Swinburne, and glad to recommend his (and their) services.

R. A.

I would highly recommended Johnathan Dunkley. He helped me through a very complex and unique road traffic case which He had not come across in His many years in this field.

I switched to Major Family Law and worked with Anna and Rebecca after having my case with another firm. A lot of complexities in the situation including geography (i.e. I don't live in England) that Anna and Rebecca navigated as well as anyone could have. The rate of progress was far greater than it was previously. Would definitely recommend.
