    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.

    Scott Williamson   29th Jul 2026

    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!

    Sam Laing   14th Jul 2026

    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.

    hiba almardi   10th Jul 2026

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

    She was incredibly kind, understanding, and compassionate. She took the time to listen carefully to my situation, answered all of my questions clearly, and made me feel heard and supported throughout the conversation.

    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.

    Stuart Hopley   15th Jul 2026

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

    Ahmed Abdelwahab   13th Jul 2026

    Jonathan Dunkley at Major Family Law has been exceptional throughout my difficult divorce and child contact proceedings. From the very beginning, he has been incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. He took the time to explain everything clearly, always made me feel supported, and gave me confidence during one of the most challenging periods of my life.

    I would also like to thank his excellent support team, especially Louise Thane, whose professionalism, kindness, and efficiency have been invaluable throughout the process. Together, they have always been approachable, responsive, and reassuring.

    I cannot thank Jonathan and Louise enough for everything they have done. Their dedication and commitment have made a real difference, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Major Family Law to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation.
