I Would highly recommend the services of Major Family Law. Sam has been nothing but professional, honest and extremely reliable - always available when needed. He has helped guide me, offering practical advice during the most sensitive and difficult time a parent can go through. Other staff have also been efficient and helpful when needed. Thank you to you all.

Available to help and offer sensible and pragmatic advice

After years of uphill struggles and continuous trips to court, I finally turned to Major Family Law for help. Sam Carter took charge of the case and the work carried out by him was nothing short of first class. Sam was always available to help and offer sensible and pragmatic advice, and the end result was one that I never could have imagined. I have no difficulty whatsoever in recommending the firm, and in particular Sam, to anyone in times of need.

Major family Law review

5

Outstanding - Sam Carter was supportive, patient and thorough. He worked tirelessly on what became a complicated case due to Covid and Brexit taking it all in his stride in a professional and calm manner. His good humour sustained my anxiousness throughout. He was very clear on his explanation on proceedings on the case guiding me through each step in a way I was able to understand as never being part of a court case prior. I would highly recommend Major Family Law as a firm and especially Sam Carter -Associate
I won the case:)

Sam Carter from Major Family Law has been supporting my husband and I with legal advice during a very difficult and complex family matter which concluded late last year. His advice was superb, accurate and reliable, and he consistently described how matters would progress.
Sam's emotional support for us on a personal level was also outstanding and he always returned calls or responded in a timely manner. Whilst family matters are emotive by nature, Sam's approach was calm and empathetic, providing his advice concisely and in detail.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Major Family Law, especially Sam.

Would highly recommend major family law, would like to thank Sam carter especially. Sam has supported me massively with my child arrangements dispute with an ex-partner, could not fault sam’s work, great attitude and very honest when giving advice. Sam was very focused on the specific issues at hand and in the end got me the result I wanted. Would most definitely use this firm again in the future if I needed to.
