Joanne gave very practical, honest sound advice. Could have taken my case now and invoiced me but recommended next steps go go further independently avoiding unnecessary divorce costs. Definitely use when the time is right. Thank you for honest and frank advice!
“I will definitely return to Joanne for further advice and support”
Joanne is knowledgable and forthright. Just what is needed otherwise I would have spent 45 minutes weeping. She gave sound advice based on law what he gave me a much clearer idea Of what my rights were and what I might expect from a legal process of separation. I will definitely return to Joanne for further advice and support.

I had an excellent consultation with Joanne at Family Law. Very knowledgable and helped me understand where I stood from a legal perspective, where she could provide me with support should I choose to engage her, the potential cost and timescale.
“The team at Major Family Law Led by Joanne Major have been amazing”
Divorce can be very stressful, but the team at Major Family Law Led by Joanne Major have been amazing. I would like to thank you all for everything you have done for me, getting me through the hardest time of my life, you really went above and beyond. The team have been pro-active and offered clear advice verbally and by email correspondence, they have been a delight to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend Major Family Law to any of my friends seeking a divorce lawyer or looking for any other family law advice.
“First class service before, during and after my divorce”
Joanne Major and the team provided me with a first class service before, during and after my divorce. They managed to combine professional excellence with the emotional support and understanding that I needed through the whole process. They helped me find an inner strength in court and achieved results that have allowed me to move on in a financially secure position which without them would never have happened.
“I went to the right team of lawyers”
Joanne and her team handled my divorce which was a complex matter, and involved cross-jurisdictional child contact. From the first phone call, she took time to explain to me both the human and legal aspects of each step. I needed a great deal of reassurance about my infant daughter and about the financial aspects of my divorce, because it had bearing on my family home which had been gifted to me during marriage. Joanne and her team see the long term picture – resolution, mediation, a sound path forward during a very upsetting time. I went to the right team of lawyers who, under expert liaison with each other, guided me through both financial and contact matters. I am based in Spain and the distance was no barrier. I trust Joanne and her team implicitly.
“I was very impressed with the legal advice I received”
I was very impressed with the legal advice I received from Joanne Major which was accompanied by helpful references to the English legal system. Joanne took care to allow sufficient time for me to understand the various outcomes of my situation.
“Thank you Joanne”
I really only wanted advice on a specific circumstance to do with my divorce and Joanne was able to dispense this in our free consultation. She was very helpful, offering just the sort of guidance I was seeking. If I need more advice in future, I will be sure to contact her again. Thank you Joanne.
“The Practice fully deserves its five stars”
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.
“Without her assistance I doubt I could have achieved the justice I obtained”
The 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.
“Major Family Law handled the situation very well and stuck to the matter at hand”
During 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.
“I found Major Law Firm first class in all respects”
I 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.
“I can't thank her and her team enough”
I 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.
“Joanne Major is the consummate professional”
Joanne major is the consummate professional - she provided quick, clear and sensible advice, for which I am very grateful. She was definitely worth every penny.

They are also very personal and you can tell they care about their clients. Absolutely amazing will definitely recommend.
“I always felt that I was in extremely safe hands”
Holly Lamb and then latterley Kate Rayner working on my divorce case and I would highly recommend them both. (Holly went on maternity leave) but worked right up to the final hour on my case, which was very much appreciated and left me in the very capable hands of Kate Rayner. I would highly recommend Kate’s legal expertise. Her advice and determination has been unequivocal. She has a very professional manner, tenacious, exceptionally calm and has been pragmatic throughout the entire process. Her knowledge and expertise in her field is outstanding. She has a fantastic judgement, she stands her ground, but also provided me with sound options. I always felt that I was in extremely safe hands and knew that she really was in it for the long haul to fight my case and obtain the best outcome she possible could for me.

“Would certainly recommend”
Very professional family law firm. Staff provide an exceptional service. Would certainly recommend and use in the future.
“Client care is the top of their list”
The team at Stowe are dedicated to finding the best solution for their clients. If sitting around a table is right for the client then they will support them to work in mediation. If going to court is necessary then they will guide and protect their client through that process. Client care is the top of their list.

I had Holly represent me. As soon as you walk into Stowe Family Law you are warmly welcomed and made to feel at ease.

Holly was very efficient and approachable, I was kept up to date and all my needs were met. I would highly recommend.

“Approachable and professional”
In dealing with my divorce, I found Hopkins Nottingham office to be very approachable and professional. I am very happy with the service I received and would be happy to recommend them to others.
“Fulfilled my expectations to the maximum”
I wanted to thank David Winnett, for great work he did for me during around last 12 months. When I first met you during networking events I realised David might be the solicitor able to help me to get more time with my son. Of course at the time I wasn’t in a position to commit to do anything, but as time Mr Winnett fulfilled my expectations to the maximum is allowed in this difficult circumstances we had to deal with. As my thank you I will keep recommending David to other people as I do, so more and more people in difficult situations as I was and still am are abkento get proper reasonable help. I wish David very best in a future and keep up great work as you do with helping people get to amicable solutions. Regards Kris
Many thanks to David Winnett for resolving my issue efficiently and keeping me fully informed every step of the way.

“Professional and efficient”
I found Rotheras to be very professional, efficient and ultimately managed to get the best outcome for my situation. I found it initially difficult to select a solicitor for my particular problem and looked at the solicitors online with the best reviews. I was not disappointed with my selection which is why I am giving Rotheras 5 stars.

I have been with rothera sharps solicitors twice now in regards to family matters and both times excellent service. Good communication on keeping up to date. Have managed to get the right results.

“The 'Family' in Major Family Law did not go unnoticed”
Major Family Law especially Sam and Stacy have been not just extremely knowledgeable and on the ball but kind, considerate, and thoughtful, i felt safe and well looked after whilst going through a court case which most people including myself found daunting both Sam and Stacy were there to hold my hand throughout, no question i had went unanswered. The 'Family' in Major Family Law did not go unnoticed, exactly what you need when your circumstances in your own family change.
“I would recommend them. and definitely use them again”
From my initial email contact to a consultation with Sam I was treated with fairness and efficiency, Sam understood my concerns and dealt with my case effectively. Sam and Major Family Law fulfilled my needs and I would recommend them and definitely use them again if needed.
“I am very happy with the outcome”
I would like to thank Major Family Law and Sam Carter in particular for dealing with my case very promptly. Sam was approachable and friendly, from the initial consultation to the settling of my case. I am very happy with the outcome and should anything arise in the future, I would not hesitate to contact Major Family Law again. Very professional and sound advice given.
“Sam is worth his weight in gold”
Major Family Law and Sam in particular have taken what was a very testing and stressful time for me and achieved the prefect result for me. Both me and my daughter wanted to spend more time together but was prevented by my ex using a CAO which was no longer fit for purpose, as it was drawn up when my daughter was very young. Sam worked Tireless to achieve our aim without the requirement of returning to Court or needing mediation. Sam is worth his weight in gold and has proven to be worth every single penny. I would recommend Major Family Law and Sam without hesitation. Thank you for making this Christmas perfect
“From the get go, Sam was able to take stock of my circumstances”
I could not recommend the services of my Solicitor Sam Carter and his colleagues at Major Family Law enough. From the get go, Sam was able to take stock of my circumstances and quickly understand my predicament, where others had previously struggled, and through his constant professionalism, methodical approach and calm demeanour he was able to guide and support me through a very difficult situation that ended with the best outcome possible.
“I felt reassured knowing that I was always in very capable hands”
Throughout a very difficult period, Sam Carter and Major Family Law provided sound information, advice and guidance. All of my queries were responded to promptly and I felt reassured knowing that I was always in very capable hands. I am extremely pleased with the outcome and the impact that it has had on mine (and most importantly my son's) life has been huge. I certainly wouldn’t hesitate to use Sam Carter or Major Family Law again.
“Communication was second to none”
We can’t thank Major Family Law enough. Sam Carter dealt with our matter regarding Step-parent Parental Responsibility. Through the whole process Sam was very knowledgeable and reassuring, communication was second to none. In addition to this, we was able to gain the positive outcome we hoped for. An extremely professional and efficient service which we highly recommend. Thank you Sam.
“I cannot recommend Sam Carter enough”
I cannot recommend Sam Carter enough for his hard work and professionalism. Should I require any legal services in the future Major family law will be my first choice.
“I cannot sing Major family law's praises loud enough”
I will always be eternally grateful for all the hard work Sam Carter and team did for me and my family. I cannot sing Major family law's praises loud enough, nothing was ever too much, no deadline was too soon and work and representation always exceptional! Going through the family court system was one of the toughest things that I have ever endured, but with Sam to guide me through all of the available options and to guide me through the procedure by explaining each step of the way in a manner that I could comprehend it didn't seem too daunting. I often called Sam in a panic and always hung up the phone call feeling relieved and calm knowing that Sam would do everything in his power. From the bottom of my heart i am eternally grateful for their tireless work. Thank you. Fraser
“Sam Carter was a pleasure to deal with; professional , personable and persuasive”
We had an excellent experience with Major Family Law who dealt with a cross border guardianship matter for us. Sam Carter was a pleasure to deal with; professional , personable and persuasive, he managed to achieve not only our desired outcome in the court proceedings, but also was able to convince the judge to make an order on another related matter to avoid us having to pursue that separately through the Scottish courts. Great service.
“I was recommended Major Family Law by a close friend”
I was recommended Major Family Law by a close friend after going through an extremely traumatic time with my ex partner. Sam Carter was not only exceptionally knowledgeable, he was also compassionate and empathetic with the sensitive nature of the case. He was given just over a days notice of our urgent court hearing and arranged an excellent barrister for a court location of over 300 miles from his office. The firm were happy to take on the case despite our South London location. Sam was highly professional, rose to the challenge and got the outcome needed for our family. Many thanks Louise,

“Major Family Law have been an absolute rock”
Major Family Law have been an absolute rock on which i have relied throughout what has been a very difficult time for me and my family. I cannot rate Sam and his team highly enough for both the way they handled the often difficult legal aspects of the case, as well as how they helped me personally deal with the many difficult and complex challenges we faced and for always being available, even when i just needed some personal reassurance.
“If you need a family solicitor, I would recommend 100%.”

“Thank you Emma and the team at Nelsons”
My experiences from end to end have simply been amazing with Nelson's. Having worked with a key partner and solicitor in what was a complex case regarding a divorce which had completed nine years earlier. I believe I received excellent value for money, full transparency of costs along the way, and superb technical advice throughout the process. Most importantly, personally struggling mentally with the trauma of the situation, I received kindness, respect, compassion, and encouragement throughout the end to end process. It made all the difference, so thank you Emma and the team at Nelsons!
Results are excellent and always there to help the customer.

“Gave me fantastic advice”
Awesome experience with these guys. Really helped me out and gave me fantastic advice. I can't recommend them enough. Top work :)
“Gone above and beyond my expectations”
I am over the moon with the service and dedication I have received from not only my Barristers but specially from Liman Hasa, my solicitor. Liman has worked tirelessly on my case since February 2017, up until July of this year. Liman has gone above and beyond my expectations, I am eternally grateful. Thanks to his hard work and that of the Nottingham family law group, the final outcome of a custody battle, was as it should be, in my favour. I cannot speak highly enough of family law group.
“A wealth of experience and knowledge in family law”
My experience of Nottingham Family Law has been highly positive. I have found all members of staff to be extremely professional and approachable. Those on reception are courteous and efficient; Aimee Booth a paralegal at the firm who dealt with my case was skilled and tenacious; and Amanda Brown, a director at the firm has a wealth of experience and knowledge in family law which was put to good effect in my case. But special thanks go to solicitor Shamiza Mahmood (Zia) who with a lightness of touch and deftness of persuasion was able to take a seemingly intractable situation and somehow transform it into a fair and successful resolution. To be honest I still can’t believe it, that woman has magic powers of some kind I’m sure of it. Shaimiza gave me fantastic advice throughout and I felt very well supported and I would highly recommend her and Nottingham Family Law to anyone going through a difficult divorce.
