    “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.

    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
