Joanne is knowledgable and forthright. Just what is needed otherwise I would have spent 45 minutes weeping.

“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.

“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 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.
