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

Great service and advice. Well worth the expense. Absolutely recommended.

Jonathan Dunkley at Major Family Law has been exceptional throughout my difficult divorce and child contact proceedings. From the very beginning, he has been incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely caring. He took the time to explain everything clearly, always made me feel supported, and gave me confidence during one of the most challenging periods of my life.

I would also like to thank his excellent support team, especially Louise Thane, whose professionalism, kindness, and efficiency have been invaluable throughout the process. Together, they have always been approachable, responsive, and reassuring.

I cannot thank Jonathan and Louise enough for everything they have done. Their dedication and commitment have made a real difference, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Major Family Law to anyone seeking outstanding legal representation.

Absolute first class service from all at Major Family Law. Sam in particular, went way above and beyond. 11 out of 10 from me.

Words cannot express how grateful I am to Lottie Weston and the team at Major Family Law. Lottie managed my divorce proceedings with the utmost professionalism, kindness, and expertise. Communication was flawless—I never had to wonder what was happening because she kept me completely updated every step of the way. Lottie turned what could have been a harrowing experience into a smooth, manageable process with a fantastic result. Thank you, Lottie, for your incredible support!

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.

Sam provided first-rate legal advice, achieving an excellent outcome in relation to a very challenging issue. Highly recommended.

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.

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.

I had the free consultation with Lottie - absolutely amazing information, professionalism and care. I have been left feeling very overwhelmed, unheard and uninformed with previous 'free' consultations from other lawfirms but Lottie has taken so much off my shoulders in giving me the necessary advice I was seeking compared to the usual 30 minutes explaining your life just to be told to book a paid session with an actual solicitor. Thank you Lottie and Major Family Law! ♡
