Review for Major Family Law Limited

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. Scott Williamson

Advice around assets in divorce

Jonathan Dunkley provided excellent advice around the complicated matter of splitting assets during my separation and divorce. This made the process easier to navigate and reduced the complications, supporting the best possible outcomes for me and my children.

Major family law review

I chose Jonathan Dunkley at Major Family Law for my divorce as I was recommended by a friend. Thank heavens I did as he was brilliant. I wasted a year with a different firm first. I wished I had gone straight to Jonathan. As soon as he took over everything got moving. I trusted him 100% and at times don't know what I'd of done without his help. He was extremely professional, knowledgeable and approachable. Definitely value for money compared to other companies. I would recommend him and his team 100%

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 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.

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.
