Absolutely brilliant service from Brent and Tracey. Request initiated on Friday 13 May and completed on Wednesday 18 May. You two rock.
We have been dealing with Amy Sizemore over the last few months, and can honestly say that i have never had such an efficient and professional service that can come close to hers in the 15 years we have been here so thank you so much and i will definately promote you
Le Pine & Co were recommended to us by a fairly high profile Taupo person. It turned out to be everything they promised. Exactly what one wants in a law firm - highly professional, excellent concise advice, experience and brilliant communication, and, great people. Finally found that law firm one never looks beyond.
We had some dealings with the property team of the firm specifically Amy Sizemore. She was very easy to deal with, responsive, professional, also applied a very reasonable and pragmatic approach to the matter at hand.
Efficient service, Thankyou Daniel.
Expert advise and quick response. I greatly appreciate the service. I will continue to utilize Le pine and co for all future legal matters.
Hi John - Thanks for your review! Much appreciated!

Really Amazing people…we purchased our first investment property, David Stoevelaar guided as through the whole process.He is cherish,helpful and professional solicitor.i would definitely recommend Le Pine to everyone without any doubt.
E.g
I advised a friend of mine to go to this firm for relationship property settlement matters, what a total waste of time, after 16 months, nothing happened except a rather large bill, they were in the same position 16 months prior, there excuse was the other parties lawyer didn't get back to them, isn't it a lawyers job to keep chasing up the other parties lawyer, has impacted on my friends finances, for nothing being achieved, would never recommend this law firm to anyone ever in the future, am now feel guilty for recommending them and making my friends situation even worse than before engaging them, would not recommend at all, try another law firm in Taupo first.
Lawyer was unprofessional and incompetent. Worst service ever. Would not use again nor recommend to others.
Very unapproachable
Mucked my grandfather around for weeks and weeks on end and expected him to be the one contacting them as they were not keeping in touch with him. Highly unprofessional. I certainly will never use this service in the future. On a positive note they seem to be friendly.
For reasons yet to finalize after our completed investigation, will follow up and re-veiw, Thanks Team.
Terrible law firm. Avoid it at all costs. They couldn't even be bothered to get my basic, all cash, unconditional offer done properly. They got the dates wrong the entire transaction and caused confusion with all parties involved. When I complained, they appeared impatient and did not have all the details. I literally had to chase their lawyers down, and when they were available they gave the wrong advice! Completely ridiculous. Be warned: make sure you have the law society complaint form handy if you choose this law firm ... you will likely need it.
