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

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.

I recently had a consultation with Joanne regarding my divorce, specifically the financial aspects and the options available to me. She was exceptionally knowledgeable, approachable, and ensured I felt genuinely heard throughout the discussion. Joanne explained each option clearly and outlined what she would recommend in my circumstances, which gave me real confidence in the guidance provided. The ability to submit information in advance meant the advice was tailored to my situation rather than generic, and this made the consultation far more meaningful and productive. While the session was guidance only and not formal legal direction, it was incredibly helpful and left me feeling informed and reassured. I would highly recommend Joanne to anyone seeking clear, compassionate, and expert advice during what can be a very challenging time. DM

Many thanks Dean for your warm words following your initial free consultation with our experienced family lawyer, Joanne Major. We’re delighted to hear you found the meeting helpful and directional. Thank you for sharing positive experience online with others. It’s much appreciated by the team at Major Family Law.

I cannot express how thankful I am for the help from major family law, especially Carly. She was fantastic, professional and incredibly helpful during my case, she really cared. I couldn't have done it all without her. I cannot recommend them enough. The team were always willing to help when I needed it and I never felt any pressure from the firm. I wish I could give 10 stars. Thank you

Many thanks Laura for your super Google review! Thank you for such lovely, positive feedback about our family Solicitor, Carly who assisted you. We’re delighted to hear of your enthusiastic satisfaction and warm words of appreciation. Many thanks from all the team at Major Family Law.

I cannot thank Sam Carter enough for his support throughout a very difficult and emotional family court matter. He was professional, approachable, patient and genuinely understanding from start to finish. Sam gave clear, practical advice and explained everything in a way I could understand. He remained calm, supportive and focused on achieving the best possible outcome for my daughter. I am extremely grateful for his hard work, guidance and commitment in helping bring the case to a positive conclusion. I would highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, reliable and compassionate family solicitor.

Major Law's handling of my property dispute left a lot to be desired. Throughout the case, unfounded allegations made by their client were put forward by Major, but despite repeated requests, I did not receive evidence substantiating any of those allegations. In my opinion, the focus was on maintaining an adversarial position in attempt to gain advantage, rather than resolving the dispute based on the available evidence. The approach unnecessarily dragged the matter out and ultimately failed to achieve the outcome their client was seeking. The dispute concluded on terms that were much more favourable to me than their client. If you value evidence, amicability and constructive resolution, I would look elsewhere.

Dear Arron, As you mention in your review, you were not our client in this matter. To protect our client’s right to confidentiality, we cannot comment further.
