Professional, honest, knowledgeable, thorough, humane. I've been with the firm for over 40 years, first with Mr Maciaszek senior, then with his son, Peter as my solicitor. You wouldn't find a better solicitor in Christchurch.
They were incredible with helping us into our first home earlier this year. They are so knowledgeable, professional and made the entire process smooth and stress free. Particular shout out to Caitlin who handled all my questions with ease!
Peter and the team, especially Wendy, are a really great legal team. Professional, timely, with reasonable rates, they are all you need for any legal issues. Have been a customer since 2005.
I used Maciaszek Brown Law to purchase my first home and everyone I dealt with was professional and exceeded my expectations . It was a great experience and would highly recommend this firm. Amanda
If you need a lawyer, go to reputable firms. Small firms like this charge heavily. Not only the charges are great. I had to pay $4000 for a separation while most my friends that went with other firms paid $2000. In being busy I felt that they did not make the most of my time. I had to go there twice to get something done. Most people do understand how painful a separation is and I felt they were insensitive and inconsiderate and added a great deal of extra stress into the process. This review is not an attack on the firm but it is a warning for those that need a lawyer.
