Review Summary

Clients praise the firm for professional, friendly service with specific lawyers like Geoff Caradus, Mike, Jing Jing, and Nick Mason receiving positive mentions for immigration and overseas investment work. Many reviews highlight efficient, helpful advice that made processes smoother, particularly for immigration, property, and visa applications. However, significant concerns exist about high fees, slow responsiveness, lack of follow-up, and some partners lacking basic legal knowledge, with multiple clients recommending shopping around first and getting written quotes.

After talking to several immigration advisors, that didn't want to help. A friend recommended me this firm. They really helped me, and my visa was approved. I totally recommend them. Thanks Nick Mason and his team.

Mike and Jing Jing help us with our residency visa application. We were very pleased with their friendly and professional manner and responsiveness. Working with them has helped reduce the pains of the application process and we could not be happier. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to apply for visa's.

I wasn't overly happy with the service we got. In regards to documents and sending on our behalf and I will up date once the full process is complete. Update. We changed lawyer

I would seriously recommend asking for a quote in writing before engaging this firm. I found the basic knowledge of company law lacking from the Partner I used - which led to unnecessary additional charges for me. The double handling …

Contacted this firm to get will done. Word of caution - do your homework. Fees for partial service by legal executive significantly more than a complete service provided by a lawyer at another firm.

Extremely slow, lack very basic knowledge, passed between multiple people, ignored phone calls. Ended up switching law firm. Extremely disappointing avoid this firm at all costs

After meeting with them on a visa issue, they did not follow up on one item we discussed. And they never responded to my emails to proceed with my visa application.

William MasterLocal Guidea week ago

Tried the 15 mins consultation call, the caller seemed uninterested and wouldn’t give me any information other than go to our website.

C
Christchurch FixitLocal Guide3 years ago

Shop around first. The partner I used lacked basic skill but can bill for things not actually asked for. Well skilled in itemising things in the invoice to make it look busy though so probably deserve 5 stars for that.

Vinay ToscanoLocal Guide2 years ago

Ridiculously expensive services. One of the associates (Elly Fleming) charged me $100 for a single email with ‘Thank you’ written on it. They charge you more than $100 per email and a minute call. Your visa application total services charges will go beyond $10,000. Very expensive even for small jobs. Would never recommend to anyone.
