Rainey Collins Lawyers

I was so impressed with the service I got from Therese three years ago when I bought a house that I came back again for the refinancing without a second thought.Incredibly time-efficient, but diligent and precise where it matters most.10/10 would highly recommend

First off, let me say they got the job done. I'm not questioning their competence. Their lawyers were personable, did listen, and gave solid advice.However, their communication leaves a lot to be desired. Items canvassed during meetings weren't recorded properly, meaning extra work (and cost) was subsequently required. Some mistakes were made in the preparation of documents when exact details had been provided. While billing for this was promised to be reversed, it wasn't on the initial invoice, and I had to raise the issue to have it corrected.My biggest concern is the way they bill. All previous legal advice I've received has been invoiced with an itemized, line by line, account where I've been able to see the work done and time charged. Rainey Collins did not initially do this (I had to request it) and that made it difficult to understand their billing.When you're paying thousands of dollars for legal advice, it's nice to know exactly where it's going. They really need to do better here.Finally cost, lawyers are not cheap. I accept that. But, I would have to say Rainey Collins is at the pricier end of the market. As part of the work they did for me, conveyancing was involved. While it had some complicating factors, I am not comfortable with what they charged.To their credit, Rainey Collins did discount my bill after I raised my concerns. But, even then the amount billed was, I believe, excessive.I would not recommend them for conveyancing work. In hindsight I should have used another firm, but I thought, at the time, keeping all my legal affairs in one firm would be more convenient.

We have used Rainey Collins for 16 years and they have advise us on personal and commercial matters. They have a good depth of knowledge and their advice is always professional and accurate. Great to deal with personally and professionally.

Excellent service! I worked with Monica and Gianna. Monica kept me informed every steps of the way and always answered my questions quickly. They made the process so much quicker and easier than I was expecting. If you're considering retaining them, just do it. No regrets.

Alan from Rainey Collins agreed to help me in the middle of a very difficult process and from the moment I made contact was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, legally astute as well as practically minded. Alan would either respond virtually straight away, or let me know when he could respond - I don't think you can get any better than that. In the most part, with correspondence, I drafted and Alan reviewed, which worked really well for me and was very gracious of Alan. When Alan drafted, the work was of the highest quality. We have decided to put all our affairs with Rainey Collins and feel very confident we are in good hands. Thanks Alan and the team.

I started to look for an employment lawyer as my husband noticed that my manager does not have knowledge of basic contracts law (or claims ignorance of it), and my manager is attempting what my husband calls “involuntary servtitude”. As we need to be certain that the lawyer has one of the best, if not the best, understanding of New Zealand contracts law and New Zealand employment relations law, my husband contacted Alan Knowsley. I really appreciate Alan’s deep knowledge and insight of my situation, our intent to be lawful in my predicament, and his prompt support of my situation. The issue got resolved very quickly.

I went to Rainey Collins to get a second opinion around Estate, being an executor of a will, only had a few questions nothing complicated. I would imagine a good lawyer would answer them in 10-20mins max and I got met with a $500+gst fee. When I raised the question of pricing/reveiw of costs I got a short nice email saying good luck - goodbye" Small things lead onto other work and a bigger network something Rainey Collins may not care about!My questions were not complex at all just needed some clarification on some points
