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.

I have used this company’s services and cannot recommend highly enough. Demelza looked after me and was really helpful, knowledgeable and down to earth. Short park and walk in the city centre.
Andrew ChessmanFriendly professional service. Demelza Wrigley to be recommended for divorce proceedings.
Peter GamblingBell and Buxton assisted us recently in the legal documentation required for minors to travel to South Africa without their parents. The solicitor we dealt with was particularly helpful and went above and beyond to ensure we had all the correct documentation at short notice. The trip was able to go ahead without any hitches.

Keep up the amazing work you do.

Acclaimed Family Law
Michelle Cooper listened to my case and advised me instantly of what I was entitled too with my divorce.
Michelle was consistently reliable, practical and comprehensive. Importantly, when there was a degree of urgency Michelle was quick to respond. Acclaimed family Law have a proactive approach and their counsel is always positive and constructive.
I was extremely happy and delighted with the service provided it made everything so much easier and less stressful.
Jill Raine always provided excellent support and is a valuable asset to Michelle and the team. Jill's advice was always pragmatic, timely and explained in terms I could understand.
Highly recommended
Nicola ShawMichelle Cooper, backed up by Jill Raine (her assistant) are a dynamic duo. I would have no hesitation in recommending them. The service they provide their clients is excellent. You will be listened to, supported and guided through, what can be, a difficult and worrying process. By the end they felt like friends.
Jo ClarkThoroughly happy with Acclaimed Family Law. Michelle is an excellent experienced solicitor who gets great results.
Sarah PowellI cannot praise this company highly enough. From the moment I stepped through the door, in a state of shock when I found out my husband was cheating, to the moment when Decree Absolute was granted, I was fully supported. The team listen to you and explain everything clearly, they patiently answer all the silly little questions that pop up. They are actually take interest in you as a person too. They kept me sane through my divorce, I didn't have to worry as they took care of everything and in a timely manner too. They got me a great settlement and now I can get on with my life without having to worry. I recommend Acclaimed Family Law without any hesitation whatsoever. Professional and friendly. Thank you to all the team who looked after me.
Jill PaigeI cannot recommend Michelle and the team highly enough. Amazing service and amazing results. THANK YOU.
Jo HumphThe advice, help and guidance that I received from Acclaimed Family Law, and in particular, Sandra Russell [in Michelle Cooper's team] was outstanding. With a wealth of knowledge, understanding and integrity, I was always up to date with proceedings and fully informed. Completely recommended.

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.
