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.

Divorce Matters.

What a scary position to find myself in. Needing to appoint a Solicitor to act on my behalf. I had no idea who to approach, so I googled divorce solicitors. I read some reviews left for Major Family Law ad decided to leave a message. From my free telephone consultation to the end result was well worth the google find. So professional, understanding, willing to listen, always explaining and above all Caring towards me. Both Carly Hope and Lucinda Connell, from the Ponteland branch were excellent in helping me along the way to the final outcome. Thank You.

Excellent information

Katie Wright was very helpful and knowledgeable. She answered all my questions and was easy to talk to. I have already recommended Katie to a friend and I will be using Major Family Law in the future. Katie was professional and gave me invaluable information to help me move forward.

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.

Spoke to one of the lovely Solicitors here Lottie, she was amazingly kind and was incredibly helpful, I was able to get a better guide plan in place after listening to her help and advice, This was all during the free consultation as well. In contrast to a vast majority of other family law firms they have extremely reasonable pricing. I would highly recommend this service.

My son’s partner took his 2 year old son away from him without warning. He needed legal representation quickly. Major Family Law did this. Sam was second to none with his professionalism, knowledge, support, counsel and efficiency throughout. Yes it’s his job and yes fees can be daunting, but, if you’re in a position where you have to fight for a Child Arrangement Order especially then this should be your choice. A huge thank you Sam. You made an extremely traumatic and difficult situation so much easier.

I had a free consultation with Lottie, and I couldn't be happier with the support I received. She was incredibly kind, understanding, and compassionate. She took the time to listen carefully to my situation, answered all of my questions clearly, and made me feel heard and supported throughout the conversation. Her knowledge and professionalism were outstanding, and she explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. Most importantly, she showed genuine empathy, which meant a great deal during a difficult time. I would highly recommend Lottie and the team to anyone who needs guidance or support. Thank you so much for your time, kindness, and expertise.

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.
