Comprehensive, friendly advice

I had an initial free consultation with Katie and at a time where everything was upside down, she took me through everything with kindness and clarity. Would highly recommend.

Excellent free consultation

I approached Major Family Law for advice on child arrangements and a free consultation was booked in with Katie. I completed a pre-consultation form which Katie took the time to read in advance, so we could discuss all the issues in detail during the call. She offered some sound advice and signposted me to further support.

Game changer

I contacted MFL regarding divorce. Katie was incredibly helpful. I had no idea what I was doing or what my rights were until I spoke with Katie. She made the water clear and I walked away from the conversation knowing a lot more than I ever expected to. Would 100% recommend.

Consultation regarding divorce

I had a free consultation with Katie regarding my divorce and shared finances. I will definitely be going ahead. Katie was very professional, knowledgable, understanding and explained everything really well. I feel very confident about hiring Katie and much less anxious about the rest of the process having spoken to her. Major Family Law have thus far been efficient and competent in booking, corresponding, meeting and following up.

Family law advice

My free consultation was with Katie Wright. Katie was very knowledgeable and to the point about all the facts and figures relevant to my situation. She took time to explain things in detail, and advice me about all the scenarios and practicalities. Katie also took time to answer all the questions I had and when I’m ready to move forward I feel confident that I will be in good hands and that she will strive to achieve the best for me.

Thankyou so much to Katie Wright and Anya Harrison for their professional yet personal approach in dealing with my consent order. The process became protracted for a couple of reasons, however, they each remained tenacious and focussed on what was right for me, always providing guidance based on my best personal, and financial interests, right up until the end of the process. I would highly recommend their support. Thanks again.
