Game changer

5

I contacted MFL regarding divorce. Katie was incredibly helpful. I had no idea what I was doing or what my rights were until I spoke with Katie. She made the water clear and I walked away from the conversation knowing a lot more than I ever expected to. Would 100% recommend.

Consultation regarding divorce

5

I had a free consultation with Katie regarding my divorce and shared finances. I will definitely be going ahead. Katie was very professional, knowledgable, understanding and explained everything really well. I feel very confident about hiring Katie and much less anxious about the rest of the process having spoken to her. Major Family Law have thus far been efficient and competent in booking, corresponding, meeting and following up.

Family law advice

My free consultation was with Katie Wright. Katie was very knowledgeable and to the point about all the facts and figures relevant to my situation. She took time to explain things in detail, and advice me about all the scenarios and practicalities. Katie also took time to answer all the questions I had and when I’m ready to move forward I feel confident that I will be in good hands and that she will strive to achieve the best for me.

Katie - Major Family Law

5

Facing law challenges when it comes to relationship felt like navigating a maze blindfolded, but Major Family Law and Katie Wright were like a guiding light. Katie’s knowledge and kindness made a world of difference.

Right from the start, Katie made me feel understood and supported. She didn’t just handle things efficiently; she did it with care and understanding, which gave me the courage to face tough challenges ahead of me.

Katie always had my back. She listened to my worries, gave me clear advice, and never sugar-coated anything. Her honesty meant a lot.

What made Katie stand out was how she treated me like a person, not just a case. She patiently answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything, making the confusing process feel much clearer.

Their support meant everything to me, and I can’t thank them enough. If you need help through tough times, I highly recommend reaching out to them it will put your worries at ease.
