Review Summary

Most clients praise the firm's professional service, with specific mentions of lawyer Phil's patient explanations and ability to make complex matters understandable, particularly noting cultural sensitivity toward Māori needs. Several reviewers highlight accessibility, including same-day appointments and long-standing presence in Kaikohe and Kerikeri. However, one client reported feeling interrogated about their connection to the director and expressed frustration about perceived elitism during the initial contact.

Phil was amazing. He was patient and explained things in such a way my parents understood and didn't feel overwhelmed. Also the fact that Phil identified Maori needs and determined where we needed to focus our energies.

Got given the 3rd degree as to why i wanted this firm to do work for me. Do I know Rick ? No - why would it be important to know the director ? As if I wasn't good enough to be a client. Is my money not good enough ?? Ok i'm not then, but i'm good enough to leave review ! Rubbish, would not recommend.
