Newcastle and the North East’s leading divorce solicitors & family lawyers

I consulted Major Family Law for a personal matter and received very professional and fair advice. I felt that Stephanie Layton was robust, sensitive, excellent in listening and great at grasping and understanding a predicament of some weight for me. She explained the law well, and was sensitive to nuances and the history of a long standing problem. I am grateful to Ms Layton and would recommend her highly.

I first met Calvin Walker at the beginning of 2021 and his calm , gentle manner really appealed to me and I knew I wanted to instruct Calvin as my divorce Solicitor. It has taken over 4 years for my divorce to be finalised and Calvin has always been by my side throughout and has always shown me kindness , compassion and unwavering support even during times when the outcome we hoped to achieve looked impossible. The outcome for me was much better than expected and I could not have done it without Major Family law. Although the process of divorce / financial settlement is extremely stressful Calvin always kept me calm and offered reassurance throughout. He always gave me honest advice and made time to go over things with me in layman's terms. I truly cant Thank Calvin enough.

Id also like to Thank Claire from accounts who also has been a great support and always been polite and helpful.

Thank you also to Louise Thain who also kept me informed, offered support and showed professionalism throughout.

The whole team at Major Law has been BRILLIANT and I can't thank them enough. My outcome was better than expected and it's all thanks to Calvin Walker and the whole Team at Major.

I can't thank Jonathan Dunkley at Major Family Law enough for his outstanding support and expertise during my divorce. From our very first meeting, Jonathan demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and a deep understanding of family law. He made the entire process much more manageable by explaining every step in detail, always being available to answer my questions, and consistently providing clear and practical advice.

Jonathan’s attention to detail and strategic approach were invaluable. His calm and reassuring manner helped ease the stress and anxiety associated with the divorce process. It was evident that he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible result for me.

I highly recommend Jonathan Dunkley and the team at Major Family Law to anyone seeking legal support in family matters. Their expertise, commitment, and client-centered approach make them a top choice for anyone going through a difficult time.

Stephanie was very understanding and helpful. Her manner was very professional and I can recommend her for anyone requiring legal assistance.

Absolutely fabulous! I had two consultation’s with Sahil Aggarwal three years apart and both times I was left with pertinent, succinct and relevant information that gave me the confidence and knowledge to make decisions concerning a jointly owned property. Excellent, relevant advice delivered in a friendly and respectful way. I could not be happier with the interactions I had with Sahil and Major Family Law. Thank you.

We have worked with Sam Carter and the team on and off for over three years and have always been impressed by their pragmatic, sensitive and highly professional approach.
