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%

Seeking legal advice with major family law, I recieved a free consultation with Anya, by far the most professional person I have dealt with recently, directing me and advising me appropriately, giving me advise I wasnt even aware of before speaking with Anya. Ending my consultation being able to instantly access the appropriate routes with ease, the compassion but professional manner was something I have never experienced and this has helped ease my anxiety with the road ahead I have. Amazing in what they do and advise I cant recommend Anya from Major family law enough. Thank you again very much appreciated I wish the clients she takes on in future the best of luck but knowing having Anya to help they dont need the luck.

Many thanks Lauren for your warm words following your initial consultation with our experienced and empathetic Family Lawyer, Anya Harrison. We’re delighted to receive such positive feedback, thank you. It’s much appreciated by the team at Major Family Law.

I recently had a free 45-minute consultation with Major Family Law and spoke with Calvin. What stood out most to me was how honest, impartial, and genuinely helpful he was. One of my biggest concerns when speaking to any law firm is the possibility of being pushed into pursuing legal action that may not necessarily be in my best interest, simply to secure business. I’m pleased to say that this was absolutely not the case with Calvin. He gave me solid, honest advice about whether he believed I currently had a case worth pursuing and clearly explained the practical next steps I should take. His knowledge of family law was exceptional, and he helped me understand my position far better than I did beforehand. There was absolutely no hard sell or pressure to retain their services. Instead, Calvin encouraged me to take the next steps we discussed and then come back to him once I’m in a better position to assess whether I have a case worth pursuing. I found the whole experience incredibly reassuring. Major Family Law came across as highly professional, informative, honourable, and genuinely focused on giving advice that was in my best interests. I would strongly recommend them to anyone seeking clear, impartial family law advice.

Michelle, Many thanks for your warm words following the initial consultation you had with our experienced and knowledgeable family lawyer, Calvin Walker. We’re delighted to hear of your satisfaction and positive experience following that meeting. Thank you for sharing your experience online with others. It’s much appreciated by the team here at Major Family Law and we are grateful for your kind words. Best wishes.

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.

Amazing legal firm. Experienced and knowledgeable, they was able to lead me through many pitfalls and stalling points throughout my difficult divorce, Sahil Aggarwal had the lead in my case and was exceptional, easily approachable and professional throughout. The price maybe slightly higher than some, but what you get in there ability and professionalism, is beyond what they charge. I would recommend them to anyone facing a divorce, difficult or otherwise.
