Paxton-Penman et al

Stephanie is a good communicator, an experienced Barrister & was able to clearly capture the relevant details of my financial situation (after my ex spent every penny he could borrow in my name).Stephanie produced a detailed lengthy Memorandum of Understanding to confirm the list of my ex partner's demands, prior to producing a very thorough & detailed Relationship Property Settlement Agreement.My ex partner had agreed to terms for almost 12months & then (predictably) when he was again given everything he asked for, he wanted my business name too, my Intellectual Property!!Although I initially spoke to Stephanie on the phone, there was no free 'meet&greet' like with other solicitors, at $450+GST I was charged over $1000.00 for our first meeting!Just be aware of the HUGE expense this process will be, & 5years after Separation I have no Legal Representative, being impoverished by my ex partner's debts.My home was ordered to be sold by the family court, while I was stuck in Hospital after surgery for 2mths!! :(Although Stephanie never really counted our joint business as an asset, I invested over $70,000 & 5yrs labour into it, and made multiple changes to our Separation Agreement based on what my ex partner wanted, she did this with good intentions to potentially save my home & settle as promptly as possible, saving money & time & trauma....!!?I paid over $10,000 and got nowhere unfortunately.This was entirely the fault of my ex partner continuously asking for MORE & MORE & MORE, although he never invested a cent & keeps his separate property" in Brasil!! :(I applaud Stephanie for working in such an unpleasant & acrimonious aspect of NZ Law ie Family Law & Relationship Property.She is informative

Stephanie and her team are amazing. Our family have trusted her with our legal work for years. Highly recommend this firm!

Great advise and knowledge given

Friendly, efficient superior service.
