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

I have been a client of this practice for a year now and have nothing but good things to report. I have a good professional relationship with Calvin which I think is very important when working with someone. He is always very professional, and helpful, and the practice in themselves have accommodated my needs very well throughout the time I have spent as a client here. I will definitely be coming to them again if I need to.

Fantastic and very personal service, always on hand to give considered and professional advice. From first contact with Joanne, to working with both Sahil and Stacy, all have been extremely understanding and considerate of a fairly complex situation. I cannot recommend this firm highly enough, they take all the stress away, giving straight, to the point advice and recommendations.

Very responsive and immediately reassuring in a totally foreign process to me. I particularly appreciated their online questionnaire which saved time and money as I was able to address their very specific questions in my own time, and not pay for their time in doing so. I truly appreciate their insight, expertise and straight talking when it's needed in helping me to navigate some very choppy waters. So grateful for the help so far.

Major family law were a great help in my experience in gaining more access to my son. Stacy Williams was very professional, very honest and thoughtful in her approach to my case. All the correspondence she sent over on behalf of me were very detailed and I was impressed at how she went about getting the best outcome for me. I can't thank her and family law solicitors enough!

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.
