Major family law - Jonathan Dunkley

5

When personal relationships end there are often significant emotional issues, dealing with dependants and historical overlay on top of the need to conclude financial and legal ties.

Jonathan is someone you want to advise you. Wise, experienced, efficient, authoritative and with an unparalleled reputation. His presence steadied the ship and provided direction and clarity to process.

Unemotional, empathetic and a great support -I thoroughly recommend his talents to anyone going through difficult separations and who want to stay with their heads above what can be at times very stormy seas.

Initial free consultation

5

Jonathan Dunkley from Major Family Law was absolutely fantastic in a completely free initial consultation. He took time to read my notes submitted in advance and spent over half an hour listening and commenting on my situation. Whilst he was unable to give firm advice what he did do was reassure me of further steps and potential outcomes. I will definitely return to Jonathan for his services to support me through a quite complex divorce procedure. Thank you.

Could not have been more helpful!

5

I was advised to contact Jonathan Dunkley in relation to a very pressing and difficult legal problem that required the help of someone who know exactly what they were doing. Jonathan advised me very quickly on my legal position and then robustly negotiated the exact outcome that I wanted. I would recommend him without reservation. If you need someone to guide you through the process and argue your case, get him on your side as soon as you can.

Jonathan was superb

5

Jonathan was recommended as my initial solicitor retired mid way through the case. He and his team picked things up seamlessly and his experience was evident from the outset. He was confident in court and continually reassured me to trust the process and that the outcome would be fair.

Couldn't ask for more!

5

Whilst we are still in the midst of a complex case, Jonathan has been outstanding so far! At no point throughout have I felt that Jonathan was not personally invested in my case. He has been professional in all his communication. He has been friendly and up front, even on circumstances to which can be described as challenging and he has been honest, even if it is hard to hear from my end, he has found and empathetic way to provide advice and explain the impact of going down varying routes.
I would without hesitation recommend Jonathan Dunkley and Major Family Law and I have no doubt that Jonathan will remain the same all the way to my case's conclusion.

Jonathan Dunkley took over my case from my former lawyers who simply weren’t able to move this really complicated matter forward.

Jonathan quickly developed a very clear understanding of a highly complex case and advised me clearly and skilfully through a number of difficult court hearings.

His advocacy was exceptional and successful. His advice at all times was clear and accurate.

He is not the cheapest lawyer in the land, but you pay for what you get.

He always discussed and agreed his fees with me, so I have no complaints.

Caring, always available when I needed him and reassuring throughout the whole time we worked together.

He was outstanding and I cannot recommend him and his team highly enough.

I contacted Major Family Law for a second legal opinion on a family matter which was proving difficult to resolve. Jonathan Dunkley was unbelievably helpful, supportive and reassuring and gave me brilliant advice which has been invaluable going forward. He was also exceptionally personable and empathetic and put me straight at ease. I would highly recommend Major Family Law and would not hesitate to use them again.
