Newcastle and the North East’s leading divorce solicitors & family lawyers

Major Family Law is an outstanding firm that I highly recommend. Sam Carter is exceptional – he is a very personable, empathetic and hugely knowledgeable solicitor – this was clear from our first interaction. During incredibly stressful proceedings Sam has been a constant calm presence, always happy to answer questions while offering pragmatic and sensible advice. This clear and honest advice has in turn has allowed expectations to be managed while allowing me to feel I have autonomy. Sam is good humoured and unflappable - with the ‘noise’ that proceedings can bring this is important and helps to keep things focused where they need to be. I really can’t recommend Sam enough - he has been an incredible advocate for myself and my children. He truly is an asset to Major Family Law. Thank you does not feel a big enough word for the gratitude I have towards Sam.

Having also spoken and dealt with other people in the firm it is clear there is a strong ethos that runs throughout around client care - I have always felt in safe hands.

I would like to say a massive thank you to everyone at Major Family Law for the help I received. My solicitor Anya Harrison was absolutely brilliant dealing with my case especially with some challenging times. What I appreciated the most was when I lost my father in a horrific accident which I unfortunately witnessed, Anya give me outstanding care and kindness. With my case being a stressful divorce Anya was understanding enough to put everything on hold until I had a more clear head. I never felt pressured, hurried or stressed out with providing information at anytime. I also spoke to the owner, Joanne Major on a couple of occasions and she was very helpful. I would highly recommend Major Family Law for their expertise and professionalism, thanks again.

I would recommend Major Family Law. My case was long, challenging and complicated. Sahil was there to support me throughout the process. From a reassuring initial conversation where my expectations were managed well, the whole process was explained throughout via email or phone calls as necessary. Sahil was always on the ball so my time commitments with the courts were always adhered to. When a hearing could not be cancelled in time due to some delays at the court, Sahil represented me via zoom free of charge. Sahil suggested a range of excellent Barristers whom he had good experience of to represent me and supported me with the various document requirements throughout. Thank You.

I had some unfortunate experiences wirh solicitors prior to engaging woth Major Family Law. of obtaining the financial order.

Sahil has helped me to obtain a fair settlement to the financial aspects of my divorce and been respectful to both sides. I am very grateful for his help

We can highly recommend Sam Carter if you’re looking for an amazing friendly knowledgeable family law solicitor. Everyone we spoke to from Major family law was very re-assuring and friendly. They have a great system in place every step of the way keeping you up to date regarding costs/payments etc. Sam is fantastic and helped greatly with getting the best outcome for my son and my grandson. He is a very honest, professional, understanding, experienced solicitor. The fees are expensive but you get what you pay for, we knew from the first meeting he was the right person and everything went smoothly from start to finish. We spoke to quite a few others before we found him and there was no comparison. We couldn’t be more thankful and if we ever needed a family law solicitor in the future we would be straight back in touch with Sam without hesitation, he is simply the BEST!. Not the cheapest but the best value for money. Thanks again from the bottom of our hearts, it has allowed our hearts to be happy again and has gave my gorgeous grandson the stability and happiness he deserves in his future. Thanks again Sam

I have severe disabilities and need extra assistance with everyday tasks and wanted a very competent solicitor, we looked around as much as we could and chose Major Family Law because of their great reputation. We had a phone call with Sahil first and he is extremely professional, clear and dependable.

Sahil was a great support and explained every part of the process necessary, was always ready and prepared for each next step in advance, and cofirmed each step, filed documents at earliest possible opportunities to avoid excess waiting times. Sahil was very patient with my disabilities and explained things well and us very knowledgeable.

Sahil was very reasonable and looked out for his clients best interests and did an excellent job, I am very thankful for Sahil's help, and very glad that we chose him. His assistants are also very helpful and Major Family Law is a fantastic firm.

I very strongly recommend Sahil and Major Family Law, I was treated extremely well and had excellent representation, which made things so much easier to deal with through a difficult time. I was very impressed and very thankful.

I had an excellent experience with Lottie. Even in our initial consultation, she was exceptionally well-prepared, very knowledgeable, and explained everything clearly. Her friendly and reassuring approach made me feel instantly comfortable, and I genuinely felt supported throughout our conversation.

The whole firm operates on a highly professional level — truly above average and well above usual standards. Their communication, structure, and client care are outstanding.
I would very highly recommend Lottie and the firm to anyone seeking expert legal help.

Spoken with Jonathan today and I received clear, constructive advice with my potentially complicated matter. Although the road ahead seems long I feel the advice Jonathan provided was the best I could have received from a Solicitor that is extremely experience in his field.. thank you Jonathan

Spoke to a lovely lady called Joanne who helped me with some solid advice regarding my separation and pending divorce. What a difference it makes when speaking to an experienced professional. Would not hesitate to recommend.

My experience of Major Family Law was brilliant. Sahil Aggarwal and his team were very professional and helped greatly with my enquiry to a satisfactory completion. I was recommended them and will extend that recommendation to others.
