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!

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.

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.

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!

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.

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!

A really professional firm to work with, but with a really friendly touch. I would definitely recommend them.

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'!
