Sahil took on my case for a clean financial break between myself & the ex wife.
What was meant to be a straight forward case was complicated when the ex wife decided to move the already in her favour goalposts & wanted a lot more than her fair share.
Sahil was very calm in his approach to every hurdle that was put in our way & kept me up to date with all correspondence from the other solicitors.
From start to finish, the case took 18 months. The patience, professionalism & dedication showed by Sahil to get me a fair result has been exceptional.
I would highly recommend Sahil & Major Family Law to anyone who finds themselves in a situation that needs professional advice & to carry their case forward to a satisfactory conclusion.

Jonathan Dunkley - Hugely experienced, straightforward and incredibly generous with his time – I would highly recommend and will certainly be recommending him to friends in the South East. Since Covid, I really don't think geography needs to be a barrier to finding the right solicitor.
What impressed me most about Jonathan was that he genuinely put himself in my shoes and focused on maximising my prospects rather than maximising his fees. After taking the time to read a substantial amount of material relating to a complex financial matter, he spoke to me at length and was completely candid about the approach he thought would work best for me – even though that meant recommending that I take a different route rather than instructing him.
He didn't stop there. He recommended someone he thought would be particularly well suited to my case and contacted them himself, explaining that an introduction from him was more likely to get a response. When it transpired that person wasn't available, Jonathan followed it up and came straight back to me with another recommendation.
I came away from the conversation feeling that Jonathan genuinely wanted to help me achieve the best possible outcome, regardless of whether there was anything in it for him. That is quite rare, and I am extremely grateful for his time, judgement and generosity.

I cannot thank Paige enough for the way she dealt with my case. As she reassured me she would from the beginning, she handled the stress of the situation so I didn't have to.

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.

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.

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.
