    Major Family Law were absolutely amazing in assisting me with my family law case, which I went on to win. My initial 45-minute consultation with Anna Hunter was extremely insightful and educational. I left that meeting with confidence and peace of mind, knowing I wasn’t facing an untrue narrative alone.

    Anna then continued to assist and advise me through a pivotal stage of the case, ensuring I could proceed clearly and without any negative untruths. Carly Hope later oversaw my case through to its conclusion and was always available to offer support whenever I needed it.

    I used the firm on an advisory basis, which kept my costs down while still achieving everything I hoped for. I would absolutely recommend Major Family Law to anyone needing professional, honest, and supportive legal representation.

    Aidan McDonnell   18th Oct 2025

    I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Sahil Aggarwal and his team at Major Family Law for the exceptional legal support and representation provided during my divorce case.

    From our very first conversation, Sahil demonstrated not only a profound understanding and legal expertise of family law, but also a level of professionalism, empathy, and dedication.

    He took the time to listen, to explain every step clearly, and to ensure I felt supported throughout the entire process.

    He was always prepared, always professional, and always had my best interests at heart.

    What stood out most was his calm, reassuring presence during some of the most emotionally difficult moments of the process, and thanks to his guidance, I was able to navigate a very difficult chapter of my life with clarity and confidence.

    I’m incredibly grateful for everything Sahil and his team did for me, and would wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a solicitor who truly cares about their clients.

    Stuart Allington   16th Oct 2025

    Sahil at Major Family Law made my divorce process easy and straightforward. He was clear, concise, and supportive throughout the entire journey, which really helped make a difficult time much more manageable. The pricing was transparent and competitive, and the whole team worked efficiently to keep costs down — a real breath of fresh air compared to other firms. I’m truly grateful for their professionalism and would highly recommend Sahil and the team at Major Family Law to anyone seeking family law support.

    Michael Bray   15th Oct 2025

    A great and professional experience in working with the team at Major Family Law with my divorce. Indeed, the other party became so concerned, that at one point asked me to change them!

    I would have no hesitation in recommending them.

    Dawn Reay   8th Oct 2025

    I instructed Major Family Law to represent me in my divorce. I genuinely can't praise them highly enough. Every aspect of my case and queries I had were handled quickly and efficiently... This, however is exactly what I would expect from a solicitor. It was the individual approach alongside the care and support that I recieved from everyone in the practice that made a very difficult situation far more bearable.

    I'd like to make a specific mention of Lottie Weston, she was my case manager and I feel that her professional knowledge, attention to detail, patience and unwavering support was second to none. Major Family Law was recommended to me by a friend, and I would pass on the recommendation in a heartbeat. In my case a fair financial deal was reached, and I truly feel that no stone was left unturned when it came to getting to that point, and that and that my wishes and feelings were taken into account continuously and everything was explained to me in detail and with patience at every step.

    No one wants to go through a divorce, but while I was struggling with things emotionally, knowing that Lottie was in my corner and negotiating a fair financial and legal agreement on my behalf was a huge relief.

    So my whole experience with Major Family Law, and Lottie Weston in particular, have easily earnt this 5 star review.

    Joanne Lathan   7th Oct 2025

    I have had exceptional service from Sahil throughout my divorce he guided me every step of the way.

    Ian Thompson   24th Sep 2025

    LEANNE DIXON   1st Sep 2025

    Always available for support, demonstrating excellent legal knowledge and expertise to secure a successful outcome. Thank you Sam - my family really appreciate your help

    Tadpole 10   21st Aug 2025

    I initially had a consultation with Jonathan in regards to what seemed like a complex matter in regards to divorce. The online system they have prior to the consultation was extremely effective and gives the solicitor a good idea of the situation prior to the meeting. Jonathan was able to reassure me and answer all questions I had in relation to personal matters and the divorce itself and I look forward to being represented by him.

    Elena-Cezara Manoliu   23rd Jul 2025

    Major Family Law looked after me for a couple of years, helping me with absolutely everything needed to be done to safely take me through a very unpleasant divorce.

    I have been legally assisted by Miss Anya Harrison and her team, and I have to say they've done an excellent job, as the divorce wasn't easy or straightforward at all.

    Miss Harrison was always available to talk or at least someone from her team was there for me whenever I needed any kind of legal support. She always spoke to me calmly, she showed understanding and empathy, she explained all the facts to me and helped me make the best choices for me. I liked that she has looked after my costs involved in sorting all the legal matters and she always tried to save me from spending unnecessary money whenever that was possible. I liked that very much and for that, they had extra points from me. All communication between us was online, I have only seen Miss Harrison once, so, for me to do this was a bit concerning as I come from a culture where things are mostly dealt with face-to-face, but Miss Harrison inspired trust and has put my mind to rest after seeing how good she dealt with my situation. So, online communication was new to me for such an important matter, but I have to say that I am very satisfied with how the things worked out. Very professional all the way through, I can't fault her or Major Family Law with anything. I have been very happy with how everything worked out, with how I've been looked after and with the outcome.

    I am an anxious person and I remember that at the last hearing I texted Miss Harrison and said "I'm scared! Sorry!" and she texted back, , "Don’t worry, I'm here to represent you and to speak for you!", and that was so reassuring and made me feel better.

    I highly recommend Major Family Law and Miss Harrison. I have been very fortunate to work with them and to have Miss Harrison ar legal representative, and I want to thank them all from the bottom of my heart for everything they did for me.
