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 met with several law firms to discuss my case, and after speaking with Major Family Law, I felt an immediate sense of confidence in my choice. Their understanding of my situation and the way they made me feel played a significant role in my decision. I can't explain it; I just knew I was going to be in competent hands. I then read the reviews and saw all the positive feedback; it was an effortless decision. I was then linked in with Sam, and he was assigned to my case, and throughout the whole time of me going through the process, he remained professional and provided great and balanced advice, helping me avoid some potential legal difficulties and eventually leading to the judge ruling in my favour. I would advise anyone who's going through any type of family court issues to use the services of Major Family Law.

Many thanks Marc for your lovely testimonial. It’s a joy reading about your satisfaction with the professional service you received from the firm and in particular your experienced and professional family lawyer, Sam Carter. We have a saying at the firm, if you need professional help with your family matter, Get Carter! Best wishes from all the team.

Sahil took on my case for a clean financial break between myself & the ex wife. What was meant to be a straight forward case was complicated when the ex wife decided to move the already in her favour goalposts & wanted a lot more than her fair share. Sahil was very calm in his approach to every hurdle that was put in our way & kept me up to date with all correspondence from the other solicitors. From start to finish, the case took 18 months. The patience, professionalism & dedication showed by Sahil to get me a fair result has been exceptional. I would highly recommend Sahil & Major Family Law to anyone who finds themselves in a situation that needs professional advice & to carry their case forward to a satisfactory conclusion.

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.
