Great experience working with Saunders & Co. Lawyers who acted as conveyancers for the sale of our section in New Zealand. Beth and the team were professional, efficient, and very easy to deal with throughout the entire process. Communication was clear and timely, and they handled all legal aspects smoothly, giving us confidence that everything was being managed properly. The sale progressed without any issues thanks to their proactive attention to detail and expertise. I would happily recommend Saunders & Co. to anyone looking for reliable and professional legal advice.

After my niece’s student visa was declined twice by INZ, we were completely stressed, heartbroken, and losing hope. It was such a difficult time for our family. Then someone recommended Jen at Saunders, and calling her was the best decision we made. From the very first phone call, Jen listened patiently and told me not to worry. Her confidence and kindness gave us hope when we needed it the most. She took over everything and made us feel like we were in safe hands. Later, when we found out Jen was on leave and Cameron would be handling the case, I was honestly nervous because I had never spoken to him before. But Cameron proved us wrong in the best possible way. He put in 100% effort, time, and dedication into my niece’s case. He worked so hard and never gave up. The moment we received the visa approval was one of the happiest moments for our family. We are truly grateful and thankful to both Jen and Cameron for changing my niece’s future. If anyone needs immigration advice, I highly recommend Saunders. They don’t just handle cases — they genuinely care about people and their dreams. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

I would highly recommend Saunders & Co Lawyers for applying any visa type. They were incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and proactive throughout the entire process. They turned what I thought would be a stressful, long-winded process into quick and highly trusted firm. They kept me informed at every stage—from document review to submission. If you need a hassle-free, expert visa service, Saunders & Co Lawyers is the one to use.

We've had a great experience with the lawyers at Saunders and Co, especially Catherine and Sarah, who help us with buying our first home and getting our relationship agreement done. They whole process was very smooth, and they communicated everything we needed to know in a timely manner. I couldn't recommend them more.

Huge thanks to Jen for making my visa process so easy and fast. She was very professional, responsive, and explained everything clearly from start to finish. The whole process was smooth and stress free. Also thank you to Rosie and the team for the great support. I highly recommend them for anyone needing immigration assistance.
