TOP NOTCH TEAM . 👍 …
Mark Copeland and his team have been wonderful over the years in supporting my family. From wills to trust to real estate deals, we always had great advice and help. Highly recommended.
Jillian Hemingway is an absolute legend. She is professional, prompt and goes above and beyond. She made a very difficult process so much easier. I can't thank her enough!
*HIGHLY recommend* We're so grateful to have found Jillian! She was a lifesaver in helping us understand and navigate the entire process of buying our first home. She's extremely proactive, truly cares and was always available whenever we needed her which is huge when you're under stressful deadlines! We will engage her and Marks' services for all our legal needs now and in the future and are so happy we can rely on such a talented legal partner here locally. Keep up the great work Jillian, Mark and Copeland team!
Excellent friendly and insightful service. Mark makes complicated (scary) things easy and straight forward.

Again thank you guys for the marviolus job and the efforts you have put to acheive my amazing result in just three days. I would recomend this professional Lawyer office to you all. Best regarfs Omar Al Omari
Jillian has been an absolute pleasure to deal with and an asset to the team at Copeland Law! Going above and beyond, especially the late nights that were put in. Must reflect the good service the firm provides with all the work they do. Mum said after we met to sign the other day, “you know when you first meet someone you can tell if they’re truly genuine or not, we’ll I felt that way with her and she has been great to deal with” Had to laugh at the “Sue the bastards” ornament in the meeting room, good to see some light humour around. A credit to Mark Copeland and the team at Copeland Lawyers, very professional and sharp at what they do.
Very happy with the work undertaken on my behalf by Cheryl and her team. Cheryl is extremely thorough and often works late into the night to ensure no detail is overlooked. I have found both Cheryl and Legal Executive Jillian to be fantastic to deal with and very understanding of our circumstances. Nobody likes getting a bill from their lawyer but I thought Cheryl's recent bill was vary fair considering the amount of work involved. Would absolutely recommend this firm.
Best solicitor in Bay of Plenty
Absolutely brilliant law firm. They dealt with our issue with professionalism and integrity which ended with an excellent result. Thank you.
Amazing to deal with went above and beyond to get an amazing result Thanks team
Every staff member that I have dealt with has gone the extra mile. Mikail and Mark have both been very calming in stressful situations with clear, compassionate and professional advice. Highly recommended
Cherly Drought is a fantastic solicitor. Her understanding of the law and her ability to understand the most difficult and complex set of circumstances make her absolutely invaluable when legal representation is required. Cheryl has a comprehensive background in law and accounting which often compliment each other. This enables her to form a comprehensive arguement when these cases arise giving a significant advantage when the consequences are high. Alongside Cheryl's intelligence and expertise, is her integrity and deep seated need to do what is fundementally right by her clients and the law itself. I highly recommend Cheryl for anyone requiring legal advice and represensation.
I have known Mark for a number of years and find him amicable and a great person to deal with.
