I Would highly recommend the services of Major Family Law. Sam has been nothing but professional, honest and extremely reliable - always available when needed. He has helped guide me, offering practical advice during the most sensitive and difficult time a parent can go through. Other staff have also been efficient and helpful when needed. Thank you to you all.

Available to help and offer sensible and pragmatic advice

After years of uphill struggles and continuous trips to court, I finally turned to Major Family Law for help. Sam Carter took charge of the case and the work carried out by him was nothing short of first class. Sam was always available to help and offer sensible and pragmatic advice, and the end result was one that I never could have imagined. I have no difficulty whatsoever in recommending the firm, and in particular Sam, to anyone in times of need.

Major family Law review

5

Outstanding - Sam Carter was supportive, patient and thorough. He worked tirelessly on what became a complicated case due to Covid and Brexit taking it all in his stride in a professional and calm manner. His good humour sustained my anxiousness throughout. He was very clear on his explanation on proceedings on the case guiding me through each step in a way I was able to understand as never being part of a court case prior. I would highly recommend Major Family Law as a firm and especially Sam Carter -Associate
I won the case:)

Sam Carter has been extremely professional and efficient. He was very clear and explained everything in a way you can understand instead of using legal vocabulary.
I would highly recommend him.

Sam Carter has been helping me through a very difficult and complex divorce involving both children and finances. He has been incredibly compassionate and reliable, and his professionalism and dedication were outstanding. At every stage, Sam provided solid advice, and I felt fully confident trusting his guidance from start to finish. Although the litigation was emotionally exhausting, I am very grateful to Sam for securing a positive outcome in both the children and financial matters.

I have recently used Major family law. My solicitor was Sam. Sam’s professionalism was second to none, he was very thorough in his approach, his attention to detail made me feel confident that everything was being handled properly.

Sam has a lovely manner. He was approachable and friendly, making it easy for me to communicate my concerns. I felt supported throughout the entire process, which made a stressful situation much more manageable. I would highly recommend Sam for anyone in need of legal representation.

Sam Carter at Major Family Law has been assisting me with my financial split from my ex wife and has provided me with solid advice and excellent replies and solutions to my ex wife's legal team full on attack. His support, in what is one of the most trying times of my life has been super and his costings have been extremely fair. I recommend him without hesitation.
