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

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.

Lottie was amazing during my divorce she was so supportive and professional and helped me to get through everything as quickly and cost efficiently as possible couldn’t recommend more!

I had a free consultation with Jonathan and it was informative, professional, and extremely useful. Luckily I do not need to take further advice, but if I did I would not hesitate to use Major Family Law.

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.

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

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.
