Many describe outstanding service with efficient, knowledgeable teams that exceed expectations. However, several clients complain about extremely high costs, poor communication with unresponsive emails over weeks, and one case where another law firm was hired to pursue damages against Harris Tate.

I can highly recommend Leone and her amazing team at Harris Tate. They were personable and empathetic during a very emotional time yet they were professional and delivered an excellent outcome that far exceeded my expectations.

Highly recommend Harris Tate. After a few bad experiences with other law firms I am glad to have had this team help me with my settlement in the end. Extremely professional. Great listeners and very knowledgeable to help sort my legal issue. I was blown away and extremely grateful at how fast and efficient everything was sorted! Thank you Leone, Oliver, Tasha and the team for your exceptional service.

Absolutely recommend Leone Farquhar and her team at Harris Tate. We used them to finally organise our Wills and the entire process was great. They made it feel seamless and straight forward and answered any queries we had quickly.

Harris Tate has been providing trusted, high-quality legal services to my family for over 30 years. Most recently, Danielle and Davina handled the conveyancing for both my property sale and purchase, and they were absolutely outstanding. Throughout what became somewhat of a challenging and unpredictable process, they left no stone unturned and managed everything with professionalism, care, and attention to detail. I genuinely could not have asked for more from them. Thank you to Grant Harris and the exceptional team at Harris Tate for consistently delivering first-class legal advice and service to our family, it is always very much appreciated!

My sister and I have used Harris Tate's services for a number of years. Recently we reviewed and renegotiated some contracts/agreements. Michelle Igasan and her capable team were professional, prompt, and showed great attention to detail. Michelle picked up things we had missed, and she had our backs throughout the whole process. We highly recommend Harris Tate.

Excellent experience dealing with such professional people!! Would recommend to others. Also, Go Leone! I needed a lot of help understanding the process of what I needed to do and she was there to assist me every step of the way :)

Very expensive compared to other lawyers in Tauranga with the same level of service. Would recommend shopping around …

Extremely expensive. I got a relationship agreement done here (just needed to sign, other lawyers wrote the document) and it cost 4.5k. Would highly recommend going elsewhere. Staff are nice enough just really over priced.

I have attempted to communicate via email with my lawyer at Harris Tate for nearly four weeks and haven't received any response. Then I get told today, via my husbands lawyer, that I have had a change of Lawyer at Harris Tait. Still no communication and consultation. Truely the most useless professional service I have ever experienced and strongly advise you don't TRY to work with these guys!

I NEVER GIVE 1 star reviews. VERY disappointed and they have STILL not completed specific task they were employed to do. Was charged ADDITIONAL fees RETROACTIVELY to complete the task. Case under dispute, and another law firm has accepted engagement to recover damages. (Yes, another law firm feels they did a poor enough job they accepted the case to go after Harris Tate lawyers.) UPDATE- and in response to their reply. This is written on behalf of the contracted individual but I was the financier for this debacle. I stand by my review.

Absolutely shockingly useless. Stay well clear with a 50ft barge pole. Absolutely dishonest and ditch you just before court. Edit ... Tells us to contact them if we have an issue but ignores the fact we emailed THREE weeks ago with no reply.
