“Hugely impressed by Joanne Major’s drive, vision, and meticulous attention to detail”
I’ve always been hugely impressed by Joanne Major’s drive, vision, and meticulous attention to detail. I’m not surprised, therefore, that Joanne and her dedicated team of lawyers and support staff have rapidly gained recognition as one of the most forward-looking, innovative, client-focussed family practices in the country.

Joanne Major has a wealth of collaborative experience. Her delivery is strong and confident with a no nonsense approach that I came to trust. This is invaluable when clarity and action is required. Major Family Law were highly recommended to me and I would have no hesitation to pass that recommendation on.

What can I say .... Anya and Anna made a difficult situation bearable. The main reason I liked them was they were fair and not at all aggressive, which reflected how I approached my divorce, it's sad time for all and de-escalation is often a great strategy.
Thanks again.

I appointed Sahil Aggarwal from Major Family Law to help me negotiate my divorce. Sahil provided me with excellent support and was very patient and professional throughout. He was able to understand the nuances of my case and provide me with best advice and guidance to resolve any issues that arose. Would highly recommend.

I found Major Family Law after several hours of research and Sam ensured they lived up to their reputation. Sam’s knowledge and expertise were invaluable and when Sam was on annual leave Major Law ensured I was kept up to date even in his absence. I’m so glad I chose Major Family Law and that Sam was assigned my case. It’s meant the world to my family.

A very positive experience. Friendly and professional from the outset. Excellent and prompt communication that made the process of my separation much less stressful.
I thank the firm for the good service provided.

Major Family Law and, in particular, Sam Carter have been absolutely amazing handling my case. So professional, kind and thorough. I am truly grateful for all Sam's hard work and would highly recommend using this firm.

I recently worked with Jonathan Dunkley and was thoroughly impressed. Jonathan was straightforward and knowledgeable, providing clear guidance throughout. He was supportive and made sure I understood all aspects of the situation. I would highly recommend.

The care and attention to detail shown by Anna was excellent, put many of my fears to bed and helped me find a route forward when it was hard to see one prior.

I highly recommend Major Family Law.
From the beginning, when I was very unsure of my rights , to the very good outcome, I have felt confident in the advice and guidance given.
To add to this I also feel that the company have a very caring ethos which I have appreciated.
Special thanks to Sahil Aggarwal.

I received the most outstanding service from Sam Carter and his team. I was using the service to negotiate the sale of my home with my ex partner. Sam was worth his weight in gold and managed to negotiate a whopping £8k extra for the my share of equity! (This is £8k extra I have for my little girl from her father who would've quite happily of undercut her.) Without Sam's advice and guidance, I would've walked away from my property with only a fraction of what I was owed.
Sam dealt with my case very sensitively and I would recommend Sam and his team to everyone. He gave me the confidence and drive to make decisions, I wouldn't of ordinarily have made.
I must admit the initial upfront payment was quite scary, but for anyone who may feel deterred by this... Please don't. I cannot put into words how grateful I am.
A huge congratulations to Sam on his promotion, it is so deserved. Thank you

I was recommended Rona Samuel by a friend and colleague. Also cousins of mine both of whom are solicitors. I have never once regretted this decision. From the outset Rona put me at ease. I felt like someone really had my back and gave a damn about me and my case. Rona went above and beyond in order to get the best possible outcome for me in my situation and she did not fail me. She was realistic and honest throughout, a trait I really respected and appreciated .due to Ronas hard work and diligence, I got a better result than I’d ever hoped for. I felt like I really mattered to Rona throughout a really difficult case. I have no reservations in recommending Rona to anyone going through divorce whatsoever, I truly employed an excellent practitioner and left the process with a friend. Xx
