Testimonials
ABMM Lawyers, I can’t recommend you guys enough. I absolutely loved the service that I received from Phil and Chelsea.
They were transparent about the options I had moving forward and advised me of the decisions they felt were within my best interests. I was supported with all of my decisions, right down to the type of wording I wanted in the correspondence with my employers.
It was important for me to reflect my values in all that I did and I succeeded in doing that throughout the entire process. They were very mindful of my identity as Māori, and would often greet me with “kia ora” or “tēnā koe”. They used hongi and welcomed any formalities such as karakia, to be recited during mediation.
The small gestures that they offered were very meaningful. It embraced aspects of my cultural identity which helped me to feel very supported and welcomed throughout our engagement.
Their service was professional, ethical, transparent, and prompt. Their actions matched their words, which resulted in positive interactions and trusting relationships being built.
Once again, many thanks to Phil, Chelsea, and the awesome team at ABMM Lawyers.
