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.

Divorce Settlement

I had a very positive experience working with Stephanie and the team at Major Family Law. From the initial phone call, Stephanie provided professional, knowledgeable advice while also being friendly and approachable, which made discussing the financial matters of my divorce much easier. Throughout the process, she remained easy to contact, always offering swift replies and guidance. Her honest and reassuring responses helped put my mind at ease, and her expertise was clear at every step.

Lottie also played a key role, offering excellent advice and assistance throughout the process. I am extremely grateful to Stephanie, Lottie, and the rest of the team for their support in making an unexpected and difficult time more manageable. They guided me through every step with sensitivity and professionalism, ensuring the best possible outcome. I’m so glad I was recommended to work with Major Family Law, and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of family law services.

Consultation regarding divorce

I had a free consultation with Katie regarding my divorce and shared finances. I will definitely be going ahead. Katie was very professional, knowledgable, understanding and explained everything really well. I feel very confident about hiring Katie and much less anxious about the rest of the process having spoken to her. Major Family Law have thus far been efficient and competent in booking, corresponding, meeting and following up.

Thank you Major Family Law

Stacy Williams at Major Family Law and her team with Louise Thain guided me steadfastly through the trials and complexities of my divorce with brilliant expert professional knowledge and a calm assured clarity of understanding and communication for which I am hugely grateful.
I feel very fortunate to have had such fantastic strong representation, bringing a difficult case to a positive conclusion with the right outcome.

Amazing outcome from a minor but complex motoring case.

I received two minor motoring offences at the same time that had me very worried. Jonathan Dunkley from Major Family Law was instrumental in spotting errors in the case, advising me of my best course of action and coming up with a strategy to deal with it. He ultimately represented me so that the case had an outcome that I could have only wished for at the start of a very stressful time. I can't thank him enough.

Impressive Exceptional Free Service!!
At very short notice i had a a free 45min session with Calvin Walker today about my marriage to my husband of 42yrs announcing out of the blue he can no longer live with me.
Calvin was calming and articulate in explaining the entire process of Separating / Divorce & Finance etc and everything else to consider when faced with this life changing experience.
He was considerate in his approach and detailed in what to be aware of and shared knowledge of all the things to way up when i really didn't have the headspace or the energy.

Thank you so so much Calvin for helping me navigate this hideous time in my life!!

Also, many thanks to Helen Charlton who took my call this morning and set up the call with Calvin.
very much appreciated.

Keep up the great work Calvin!!

Helen Charlton is a wonderful ambassador for the company - calm, professional, helpful and she does exactly what she says she will do, when she has promised to do it. Lewis Hulatt is also excellent - knowledgeable, responsive, easy to communicate with and thoroughly professional.
Highly recommended.

Unquestionably An Outsanding Law Firm

I can't thank Jonathan Dunkley at Major Family Law enough for his outstanding support and expertise during my divorce. From our very first meeting, Jonathan demonstrated exceptional professionalism, compassion, and a deep understanding of family law. He made the entire process much more manageable by explaining every step in detail, always being available to answer my questions, and consistently providing clear and practical advice.

Jonathan’s attention to detail and strategic approach were invaluable. His calm and reassuring manner helped ease the stress and anxiety associated with the divorce process. It was evident that he genuinely cared about achieving the best possible result for me.

I highly recommend Jonathan Dunkley and the team at Major Family Law to anyone seeking legal support in family matters. Their expertise, commitment, and client-centered approach make them a top choice for anyone going through a difficult time."

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.

I am incredibly grateful for the support and guidance provided by Sahil Aggarwal throughout my divorce process. From the very beginning, they were compassionate, professional, and always available to answer my questions. Their expertise and clear advice gave me confidence during a very difficult time. They handled everything with care and efficiency, ensuring my interests were well-represented. I truly appreciate their dedication and would highly recommend Major Family Law to anyone in need of a reliable and understanding solicitor.”

I can’t recommend Sahil highly enough for his advice and guidance during my divorce, which at times was quite challenging. He was extremely knowledgable and patient, explaining options thoroughly and going out of his way to get the best possible resolution. It was such a relief to have him overseeing a process that felt overwhelming at the start. I am certain I would be worse off if I hadn’t had him representing me. I would really recommend him to anyone going through a divorce.

Thankyou so much to Katie Wright and Anya Harrison for their professional yet personal approach in dealing with my consent order. The process became protracted for a couple of reasons, however, they each remained tenacious and focussed on what was right for me, always providing guidance based on my best personal, and financial interests, right up until the end of the process. I would highly recommend their support. Thanks again.

I have recently used Major family law. My solicitor was Sam. Sam’s professionalism was second to none, he was very thorough in his approach, his attention to detail made me feel confident that everything was being handled properly.

Sam has a lovely manner. He was approachable and friendly, making it easy for me to communicate my concerns. I felt supported throughout the entire process, which made a stressful situation much more manageable. I would highly recommend Sam for anyone in need of legal representation.
