    “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.

    “A wealth of collaborative experience”

    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.

During a short period of time she has put together an excellent team of intelligent, approachable lawyers who deliver first rate family law services to clients. We as a firm are happy to recommend them.

    Amazing legal firm. Experienced and knowledgeable, they was able to lead me through many pitfalls and stalling points throughout my difficult divorce, Sahil Aggarwal had the lead in my case and was exceptional, easily approachable and professional throughout. The price maybe slightly higher than some, but what you get in there ability and professionalism, is beyond what they charge. I would recommend them to anyone facing a divorce, difficult or otherwise.

    Monja Maree   15th Apr 2026

    I had the free consultation with Lottie - absolutely amazing information, professionalism and care. I have been left feeling very overwhelmed, unheard and uninformed with previous 'free' consultations from other lawfirms but Lottie has taken so much off my shoulders in giving me the necessary advice I was seeking compared to the usual 30 minutes explaining your life just to be told to book a paid session with an actual solicitor. Thank you Lottie and Major Family Law! ♡

    Avril   7th Apr 2026

    We are incredibly grateful to Sam and Daniel for all their support and guidance throughout this process. This has been a very important and emotional time for me and my husband and Sam’s professionalism, reassurance and expertise made a huge difference.

    We are extremely pleased with the outcome and relieved that we can now move forward and start our next chapter. We truly appreciate everything Sam and Daniel has done for us and would not hesitate to recommend to others.

    Thank you again for everything.

    K   26th Mar 2026

    My son’s partner took his 2 year old son away from him without warning. He needed legal representation quickly. Major Family Law did this. Sam was second to none with his professionalism, knowledge, support, counsel and efficiency throughout. Yes it’s his job and yes fees can be daunting, but, if you’re in a position where you have to fight for a Child Arrangement Order especially then this should be your choice.

    A huge thank you Sam. You made an extremely traumatic and difficult situation so much easier.

    Harriet Evley   18th Mar 2026

    The team at Major Family Law, and Lottie in particular who was my solicitor, have been a very professional and friendly service and I would recommend them highly! Their kindness has made a stressful process easier and smoother. I believe that I made the right choice choosing major family law.

    Trudi McMenemy   12th Mar 2026

    Dealt with a couple of people from the firm and I can honestly say they are the friendliest and most helpful people. Lewis was very understanding and gave me excellent advice.

    Can highly recommend

    Ross Preen   10th Mar 2026

    Excellent service from Sahil at Major Family Law.

    He has been professional, responsive and straight talking throughout my divorce and financial settlement. He kept me updated, explained everything clearly and got the matter dealt with properly through the court.

    My financial order has now been sealed and approved, so I’m very pleased with the outcome.

    I’d definitely recommend Sahil and Major Family Law.

    Angela Chan   10th Mar 2026

    Sahil provided excellent support during my divorce and financial split. He was highly professional, composed, and attentive to every detail. His advice was practical and sound, and he consistently offered thoughtful suggestions with clear direction. He has a strategic mindset and always seemed to know what approach would be best for my situation. I would strongly recommend him to anyone needing guidance through a complex process

    Gabriella Charity Mtseta-Zure   19th Feb 2026

    Sahil is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and kind solicitor. He handled my case with professionalism while always showing genuine care and understanding. The process was lengthy and, challenging but his support and guidance made all the difference. I couldn’t have asked for better representation. Thank you so much.

    Simon White   10th Feb 2026

    Major Family Law are a well-known professional firm of family lawyers who deliver outstanding service with truly incredible lawyers who have supported me to the highest level of service, quality and outcome. I fully recommend Major Family Law.
