I am writing to express my sincere gratitude for the exceptional legal support your firm provided in assisting me with my citizenship application. From the very beginning, your team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and dedication, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Your attention to detail, clear communication, and commitment to my case were truly commendable. I always felt informed and confident at every stage, knowing that I was in capable hands. The successful outcome is a testament to your firm’s hard work and legal expertise. I would highly recommend your services to anyone seeking legal assistance with immigration matters. Thank you once again for your invaluable support.

I had the best experience with Cavell Leitch. It was my first time going through the buying process and they guided me and made it all easier. Especially as there were a few issues along the way in which they were so helpful. The team were so thorough with amazing communication. I would 100% recommend their services. Thanks again David and Sophie!

We contacted a few random law firms in Christchurch when we decided to sell our property, and Courtney was the first to respond with all the information we needed and asked for. She was fantastic to work with as we sold and then set up a new mortgage. She went above and beyond to ensure we understood all the legal jargon and risks, and provided stellar advice to ensure we got the best outcome. We felt comfortable contacting her to ask any and all questions, and we felt that we were charged fairly for the services provided. We look forward to working with Courtney in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her or her team to anyone. Thanks again!

I felt the communication was unclear and the service unprofessional. During the consultation about a simple will, I was told charges would only apply if I proceeded with signing and finalising the document. After deciding not to go ahead, I was surprised to still receive an invoice despite not signing anything. The process also involved mistakes and back-and-forth with the assistant, which added to my disappointment.
