STAY AWAY FROM THEM.
I paid them over £32k to extend my lease. After months of trial and error, David Major and his incompetent team missed the deadline and the freeholders closed my application. David Major refused to answer my calls/emails. Then after 2 years he told me in an email that he's unable to extend my lease and returned only £25K of money!
AVOID THIS FIRM. Their incapability cost my well over £11k (as I had pay £4K more for my lease extension this year) plus 3 years of pain with no gain.

My girlfriend and I recently used David for the purchase of our first home, after being recommended from other family members who had used him ( I noticed one of those is Sassan Danesh who already left a review!). David was fantastic throughout, very responsive and thorough with all the work he carried out. David went the extra mile and did everything we asked of him and more. Would highly recommend David for his superb attention to detail and very friendly approach. Will certainly be using him again and recommending to family & friends!

David and Amanda acted as conveyancers for us in a recent house purchase and we were very pleased with the service. They gave us a competitive quote which they stuck to and they fought our corner in various negotiations with the sellers. I also liked the face to face meeting with David prior to signing the contract so that he could explain the technicalties in person. Overall a great service, if we were staying in the area we would certainly use Majorlaw again.

David and his team provided a wonderful and professional service for my legal work throughout.
The whole process was done very quickly much faster than I expected with great communication. Furthermore they were always approachable and willing to act on your behalf, responding to queries promptly and communicating clearly throughout the process.
I also appreciated a one to one meeting that was provided by David. This was very helpful and not often provided by other firms.
If you are looking for a local firm, with a personalised service and one that really acts to help to you I highly recommend

The owner treats his staff with contempt. When this firm carried out a simple estate Executor role, they charged three times the quote without asking family for permission. When challenged, the owner refused to reduce the charges. The bills rarely specified any disbursement charges. A cheque from an insurance company was left sitting in their file for ages. Would never recommend this firm for anything.

David Major and his team acted for our family purchase of a property in Guildford. We were greatly impressed with the firm's diligence in urging the vendor's solicitors to a speedier exchange and completion than we had recently had on a similar purchase with another local firm of solicitors. Meetings were offered, emails always expedited; advice was appreciated, courtesy and thoughtfulness characterised all working in the team. We look forward happily to future dealings with Majorlaw Solicitors.

I have used Major Law for a few years after being recommended to them. They have conducted all of my legal affairs with upmost professionalism, care and success. I am able to contact them anytime for advice, meet with them without issue and always get the answers that I need. I am in the process of recommending them to my close friends and will continue to use them for all of my future affairs.
