Thomson Wilson Law

I inquired about their services and fees in May 2019 but to my surprise I received an invoice for this. When I queried the invoice I was met with rudeness from staff and accusations that I wanted free advice. Their website claims they will provide clear information about fees and terms before they start work but this was not the case for me, at no point did they tell me there will be a charge for a quote/first chat. I felt incredibly bullied as the partner was not willing to listen to my side of the story and said whatever he could to try put me at fault, it was very unprofessional behaviour. Perhaps my age gave the impression I was an easy target seeing as I'm a young member of the public. I filed a complaint through the NZ Law Society as I did no wrong and it was evident the partner was not willing to treat this matter fairly as he mentioned he believes his colleague and not me - after much discussion I was told they are only willing to discount the fee. They were approached by a Legal Standards Officer in December 2019, who then told me on the basis I withdraw my complaint the firm will waive the invoice. Due to such an unpleasant experience here, I can't possibly be the first and it makes me wonder how many others had been taken advantaged of as they fail to apologise and recognise how they can better enforce the Rules of conduct and client care for lawyers"EDIT:Unfortunately

rang for an appmnt , left a message on PA message service. she didn't call back. I'll have to call again.

Best Law firm in town. I have used their services all my life. I have much respect for Arthur Fairley who represented a case in the 80's for which I am grateful and I went to school with his son. Very lovely people. Thompson Wilson have directed me on a number of property matters and personal matters and have always made sure that my interests were protected. I have had a very successful relationship with them to date and I highly commend them. Recently I have had the pleasure of dealing with more of their wonderful associates and found them very supportive. I would like to make a special mention to Daniel Grimes at this time and thank him for his professionalism, kindness, a great lawyer and human being. 100% A +++! Keep up the great work everyone!

In 2016 I was in need of legal representation, I engaged 16 lawyers who could not help me with my legal matter. They had all turned me down (or away) due to perceived conflicts of interest, not specialised in that particular area of law, or they just did not get back to me.Thomson Wilson Law was number 17, and I have been represented at various times and counselled, particularly by partner Mr. Peter Magee since.Family Law is a minefield to say the least and the emotional toll it takes on a person trying to serve the interests of a vulnerable person is intense and relentless. Some of the wisest counsel I ever received from him was There comes a point where you have to draw a line and move forward". That advice has become my mantra and applies to so many areas of life
