Major Family Law
The Practice fully deserves its five stars. I dealt directly with Joanne, who was unwavering in her professionalism and provided expert counsel throughout. In fact, all contact points were always professional and provided a superb service.
Neville WhartonThe situation was complicated by my husband trying to conceal and deny his assets, but it was obvious Joanne Major was used to dealing with these sorts of issues nor was she fazed by bullish correspondence from my husband's solicitor.
Although she was compassionate, she was still able to give constructive and pragmatic advice and without her assistance I doubt I could have achieved the justice I obtained at the conclusion of my case.
Claire AshwoodDuring the past months, Joanne Major and her team have dealt very professionally and with great understanding of my difficult situation. During my divorce and division of assets, despite there being many reasons and occasions to be exasperated by the behaviour of my ex-wife, Major Family Law handled the situation very well and stuck to the matter at hand. In addition to Joanne, the staff team and particularly Rebecca, Helen and Avril, gave me tremendous support during a very trying time. Barrister Roger Bickerdike, recommended by Joanne, provided a flawless counsel.
I cannot thank the team enough.
Peter JacksonI found Major Law Firm first class in all respects. Joanne Major and her team always delivered excellent service, were easily accessible and gave me expert guidance / advice at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending them the others.
Kevin PattisonI saw Joanne due to my Marriage ending, i needed advice on how to proceed and where i stood financially. She gave me a lot of advice that i took on board, i can't thank her and her team enough for their help. I would highly recommend Major Family Law.
Deb StobbsJoanne major is the consummate professional - she provided quick, clear and sensible advice, for which I am very grateful. She was definitely worth every penny.
David StewartMajor Family Law is an outstanding law firm that is cable of handling highly sensitive issues in an effective and caring manner. Joanne Major and her team are such a friendly bunch and I would recommend them for all family matters.
Katie StidolphI cannot speak highly enough of Joanne Major and the team. Understanding, realistic and highly professional in what is a very difficult time in life.

BBL Family Law
I would highly recommend Patricia Brodie to anyone wanting a divorce lawyer. She is very efficient in what she does and represented me with a service second to none.
Tina HopperI was a client of Patricia Brodie for nearly 2 years. Within that time Patricia was extremely helpful and professional. My divorce was very long winded and complicated and unfortunately during this time I suffered a brain haemorrhage and was in hospital for 3 weeks, thereafter convalescing for several months. Patricia dealt with my partner at this time and made sure that any 'issues/concerns' were not brought to my attention in order for me to recover. Patricia's reassurance and gentle approach was so important during a very distressful time. I would highly recommend Patricia as a a divorce solicitor.
Lisa HeathOn the occasions that I have needed Patricia to act for me, she has proved to be extremely professional and knowledgeable. Her realistic and thoughtful approach to matters helped me to take a more balanced view on things at a time when it could have been all to easy to allow emotions to take control.
In the 15 years I have known Trish I have recommended her on numerous occasions and will continue to do so.

Fosters
I have had experience with a few law firms in Norwich and they have not come close to the high standards that Fosters have. I have been incredibly impressed with Fosters, the whole service from start to finish. I was so pleased to have had Lucy Simpson recommended to me. Making the right decision about who to use to support you in such a vital matter is extremely important, as it affects you day to day and can impact on your life, and I really can’t stress how pleased I have been to have Lucy on board. She is not only very professional and friendly, she deals with your case sensitively, offering you advice but also empowering you to make the right decision for you. My case was given full attention, Lucy went above and beyond my expectations, the advice I was given was extremely accurate and it was clear that Lucy was doing all she could to protect me and help me fight my battle. Communication was excellent throughout, which is something I have had issues with with other law firms. Don’t hesitate to contact Fosters, you will not be disappointed!
Stuart Golligy ThompsonFriendly and professional service offered by a well organised team. Highly recommended.
Jon-Cameron BatesFast efficient and friendly. A great service given 5 star Rating here as they are worth it . Got great advice and help.

Ronaldsons
I highly recommend Richard and his team. I moved to Richard after 3 years with a previous firm. Within a matter of a few months, the divorce was finalised with a positive outcome for both me and my children.
Richard immediately put me at ease, his no-nonsense, plain talking approach with his decisiveness was both refreshing and a godsend. I felt confident from the start in his abilities and professionalism and this, as it turns out, was well founded.
His paralegal Tracy, was an absolute star. She accompanied me to court, guided me throughout the day and working with the barrister, enabled a better deal than it could have been. Tracy made a stressful day easier to cope with.
Thank you to both Richard, Tracy and the whole team!
Kate fowleI cannot rate Richard highly enough. He helped me through the most difficult period of my life, which included two court orders and a very difficult divorce. From our first meeting he put me at ease, explained the process clearly and was down to earth and honest. His advice was, and continues to be invaluable. Tracey from his team was also fantastic. She supported me twice at court, without her help and advice these highly stressful days would have been much harder. Her kindness and knowledge made so much difference.
My family and I have also used Ronaldsons for house sales and purchases and every time the service has been brilliant and the process smooth.
I have and will continue to highly recommend Richard and his team at Ronaldsons.
Laura BatesRonaldsons dealt with an extremely lengthy difficult divorce case for me. Richard Ronaldson himself is simply the most well informed, plain talking , no nonsense, yet likeable, solicitor you could want. He guided me successfully through two court cases, and ensured an extremely positive outcome for myself and my children. I simply cannot recommend this man enough. An expert in his profession, has a confident reassuring way about him and he gets results. Special mention also to paralegal Tracey who also is a total credit to the profession/company and also assisted me throughout the whole stressful process of my divorce.

The Best Family Solicitors, Independently Listed
Each solicitor listed by Wiselaw is independently researched and considered against strict criteria. Examples of the criteria are shown below.
Trusted Reviews
The quality and content of feedback that clients have given via trusted review services such as Google and TrustPilot.
Recognised Accreditations
Formal accreditations that are awarded to firms based on their expertise and/or their outstanding working practices.
Award Winning
Industry-recognised awards for superior business practices, legal expertise or customer care.
Client Focused
Evidence of high quality client care, including reviews received, publishing and sharing legal knowledge, and quality of enquiry replies.
Reported Cases
The extent to which the solicitor has been involved in cases that have helped to shape and change wider family law.
Price Band
Is the solicitor one of the best within their price band? A lower-priced or mid-priced solicitor will be included if they are the best compared to other solicitors in the same price band.
Proven History
Does the solicitor have a proven track record, earned over years, of being an extremely shrewd legal practitioner? They aren’t in any way new or unproven.
Legal Specialism
The solicitor is well recognised for having a specialism in a particular area of family law, such as international divorce, abduction, or custody.
Rising Star
Is the solicitor part of an established firm and they have quickly gained a reputation for being expert in their field? A highly skilled rising star who doesn’t yet command the highest fees, so making them very good value.
Depth of Team
Does the solicitor’s surrounding team contain high calibre lawyers and secretaries who collectively can offer broader and deeper legal advice as circumstances require?
