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

I can’t recommend Sahil highly enough. He took over my case partway through a difficult divorce and immediately moved things forward quickly and efficiently. From the moment he became involved, I felt much more reassured and confident that everything was being dealt with properly.

, and always explained things clearly. Going through a divorce and financial settlement can be incredibly stressful, but knowing that Sahil was handling my case took a huge amount of that worry away.

I’m extremely grateful for all of his support and for everything he did to help me and my family through what was a very difficult time. Thank you, Sahil.

I cannot express how thankful I am for the help from major family law, especially Carly. She was fantastic, professional and incredibly helpful during my case, she really cared. I couldn't have done it all without her. I cannot recommend them enough.

The team were always willing to help when I needed it and I never felt any pressure from the firm. I wish I could give 10 stars.

Thank you

I recently had a consultation with Joanne regarding my divorce, specifically the financial aspects and the options available to me. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, approachable, and ensured I felt genuinely heard throughout the discussion. Joanne explained each option clearly and outlined what she would recommend in my circumstances, which gave me real confidence in the guidance provided.

The ability to submit information in advance meant the advice was tailored to my situation rather than generic, and this made the consultation far more meaningful and productive. While the session was guidance only and not formal legal direction, it was incredibly helpful and left me feeling informed and reassured.

I would highly recommend Joanne to anyone seeking clear, compassionate, and expert advice during what can be a very challenging time.

I cannot thank Sam Carter enough for his support throughout a very difficult and emotional family court matter. He was professional, approachable, patient and genuinely understanding from start to finish.

Sam gave clear, practical advice and explained everything in a way I could understand. He remained calm, supportive and focused on achieving the best possible outcome for my daughter.

I am extremely grateful for his hard work, guidance and commitment in helping bring the case to a positive conclusion.

I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and compassionate family solicitor.

I had an initial consultation with Jonathan Dunkley and found him to be extremely professional, down to earth and easy to speak to. He was honest, fair and gave clear, practical advice without overcomplicating matters. I left the meeting with a much better understanding of my position and the options available to me. I would have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan and Major Family Law.

Lottie was amazing during my divorce she was so supportive and professional and helped me to get through everything as quickly and cost efficiently as possible couldn’t recommend more!

I had a free consultation with Jonathan and it was informative, professional, and extremely useful. Luckily I do not need to take further advice, but if I did I would not hesitate to use Major Family Law.

I had a free consultation with Lottie, and I couldn't be happier with the support I received.

Her knowledge and professionalism were outstanding, and she explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Most importantly, she showed genuine empathy, which meant a great deal during a difficult time.

I would highly recommend Lottie and the team to anyone who needs guidance or support. Thank you so much for your time, kindness, and expertise.

Great service and advice. Well worth the expense. Absolutely recommended.
