I had a free consultation with Kath today and the level of customer service was exceptional. A firm that listens to a clients and offers impartial assessment rather than trying to sell you thier services. I'm confident that I will use this firm should I need to. Kath is a credit to the firm.

Joanne is very knowledgeable. I am very pleased with the initial consultation I had with her. She took the time to listen to all of my concerns and I am very grateful for the advice she gave me. Thank you once again, Joanne.

The initial free 45 min consultation with Stephanie Layton was really helpful. She provided clear answers to my questions, made the situation easy to understand and I left with a clear understanding what to do next.

My free advice session with Stacey was invaluable. She guided me through my options, why I should do various things, what I might be entitled to, how I could save myself money and still had time to be gentle, kind and understanding. She even gave me time to ask questions of my own.

It is difficult to put into words how much Sahil supported and guided me through a very difficult divorce. His calm and professional manner ensured that each stage of the process was clear and manageable.

Fantastic service offered by Major Family Law and Joanne in particular. They provided a FOC, in depth consultation, so that the information given is clear and concise. Very honest too, so thank you.
Dec 2022 Tony Cubitt
Had my initial preliminary call with Joanne regarding my ongoing divorce and she was excellent. I was given more info and help in the 45 minutes I had with her then I did from my previous solicitor in the last 6 months! I will now be using Major Family Law for all matters in the future.

The service offered to me by telephone was first class. Afterwards I understood my best way forward and the current situation facing me. The lawyer didn't pressure me to do anything but offered future help as and when I felt I needed it. I wholeheartedly recommend this firm. Thank you Katie.

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.
Jun 2022 Nadia Fasil
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!
May 2022 Joanne Butters
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.

Easy to talk to and honest advice. Sam Carter is a credit to the company and has been key in helping me regain access to my daughter.
Mark Thompson 14th Oct 2023
Working with Sam Carter as my family law solicitor was the best decision I have ever made and I can't express enough gratitude. He took the time to truly understand the situation and I was incredibly impressed at his ability to quickly recall information specific to my case.
Sam’s approach towards matters were always calm, communicated well and the advice I received was for the best interests of my children.
He is a true professional that I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Sam.
Sarah Wilson 17th Oct 2023
I am so pleased that we made the decision to hire a solicitor to represent my son at court and even more pleased that it was Charles.
From the initial phone call he was helpful, put us at ease and explained everything in great detail so we knew what was and would happen. Even though this case was short notice we felt confident in Charles and that we could trust him.
I'd just like to say that we were delighted with the outcome, it couldn't have gone better and we would never have got this result without him. He literally gave my son a fresh start.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this firm and Charles to anyone in the future.
Amanda Yates 21st Oct 2023
I would recommend Major Family Law, and Sahil Aggarwal in particular, as I have just been through a very lengthy and sometimes complicated Divorce process. Sahil was knowledgeable and thorough and explained the process as we went along both professionally and empathetically. Divorce is by no means cheap but I am satisfied that the outcome is the best I could have achieved. Thank you Sahil and Major Family Law.
Emma Hewitt 20th Sep 2023
Excellent service. I called over 50 odd solicitors and nobody was able to help me, by this point i was feeling very deflated. I then called major family law and they were more than happy to help me, book me in for a consultation and offer me advice. The advice was very in depth and very helpful to my situation. Katie was very reassuring and professional in dealing with my enquiry. I was booked in very quickly and my consultation was 45 minutes which was plenty of time to discuss everything i needed. Thank you again Katie
Danielle Wicks 20th Sep 2023
Charles really helped me with a case I was dealing with on behalf of my brother. Charles was so kind, understanding and offered great advice. Charles offered a high level support and expertise regarding my brothers case, and I am so thankful for all his help. Charles explained the process from start to finish and I felt he went above and beyond with the support he gave me. Charles was like a fountain of knowledge and helped me understand the case and offered fantastic advice that greatly benefited my brother. I’m so grateful for the help from Charles and would like to say a massive thank you from myself and my brother!
Jill Baker 19th Sep 2023
I would highly recommend Major Law. Having read an extremely useful article on their website I was guided through an excellent and easy to use online system which gathered details of my issue. I was then put in touch with the author of the article Lewis Hulatt. Lewis provided me with some excellent advice and was always friendly and accessible.

Highly recommend this solicitors enough for family matters. All staff have been professionally, friendly and respond in a timely matter. We worked with Sam Carter who has not only been an outstanding professional, very knowledgeable with a sensible outlook, but also no-nonsense approach. He takes time to explain processes and options giving his advice and reasoning. Very responsive to emails, enquiries, and also acts in a caring and compassionate manner at court. He was able to achieve and direct the best outcome for my family - I’m not sure how to ever thank him and major family law. Although I hope to never be in position to require this level or expertise and legal support, without a doubt I would use them again in the future. Thank you Sam for everything! The Youngs.
Angela Harrison 21st Aug 2023
Rona Samuels was recommended to act for me during my divorce.
I found Rona to be highly competent and knowledgeable throughout . She was well informed about my about my individual circumstance and her professional advice was explained in a way that I could understand.
I highly recommend Rona as compassionate and effective lawyer.
Louiza Everly 14th Aug 2023
I chose Major family law due to their great reputation and reviews. Everyone has been incredible and wonderfully understanding. Sam Carter was my solictor, he provided an amazing service from start to finish. Always responding very quickly and with clear information. I couldn’t have been happier with how Major Family Law handled everything and especially Sam. Family issues are extremely stressful but I found confidence and calm having Major Family Law represent me. Thank you
