Welcome to Major Family Law
We are a specialist Divorce and family law practice and we believe that gives us a major advantage. We concentrate on all aspects of family law although we have the expertise and contacts, where necessary, to handle complex cases with a commercial bias embracing issues such as company shareholdings, family partnerships and businesses.
Major Family Law has gained a reputation for doing the very best for each and every one of our clients, no matter how insurmountable their cases may seem at first. Every step of the way we give you the personal attention of one of the North East’s foremost family and divorce lawyers; we won’t hand you on to juniors. As a family firm ourselves, we understand the issues of parenting and children first hand. In children’s proceedings, we act first as parents and then as lawyers.
We know and understand all aspects of marriage breakdown or issues affecting your family/relationships are tough. You can feel anxious, alone and angry, often at the same time. No one ever feels a “winner”. Often it is just a matter of time that will help get over one of the most traumatic and emotive periods of your life. The family law team at Major Family Law are committed to ensuring you will be treated with respect, compassion and professionalism.
