Tompkins Wake

"Great Law Firm that made me aware of my rights as a beneficiary in a trust advising not only that I could share information regarding my law firm "Norris Ward McKinnon" being in breach of nineteen New Zealand Legislature simunaltenously with the lawyers 'Glenda Graham' & 'Sam Hood' Also looked into the Trust's Act for me and found that our family trust could be dissolved in terms of Gross Negligence as per Section 44 of New Zealand's Trust's Act which would stop them abusing our family and others. Have fun at the New Zealand Law Awards! P.S. The New Zealand Law Firm Awards spelt lawyer wrong as 'laywer' :O Check out my previous review for a giggle! Cheers for your accurate advice :)"

"Very poor service, expensive, unprofessional and the list goes on. Would sincerely not recommend!"

"An overall very poor experience. Basic conveyancing services ended up being exorbitantly expensive. We would not have minded paying the high price had we received good service. However, we were never promptly informed of any updates regarding our settlement, and billed for the pleasure of us having to chase her up. Furthermore, when she quit unexpectedly we were not informed that she left, nor was our work formally handed over to another employee. When we brought this up with Tompkins Wake, we were then made to feel like we were over reacting, but our hand was forced to pay the bill or else our settlement would not proceed. I would not recommend their services."

"I am currently going through my first ever family dispute with the aid from Tompkins wakes. The person I would highly recommend is Alex Fanning. Let me tell you about my experience with Alex. First of all, Alex maintained a very approachable attitude from the beginning. In fact, I approached multiple lawyers to get advice, Alex was the only person that treated me like a human being rather than just another dollar. Being a father going through his first divorce, I can honestly say that I would recommend anyone to Alex, especially if this is something new to you. Alex takes pride in customer service because he cares about his clients. Let me give you an example. Alex acknowledged my situation, and understood the fact that I am suffering from deep pains of loosing my child; So as my lawyer, Alex prepared my urgent application, and SENT IT TO ME AT 9PM two days after I gave him my statements! Two days!! That is impressive, and I vouch for his passion and capabilities. To add more to the above, I wrote 120 pages worth of documents! So Alex was able to go through that entire book of an document, compacted it in to 20 pages, and sent it back to me for final approval all within 2 days! As a father suffering heartache from loosing my kid, you can imagine the happiness and confident i found in this lawyer. That is just the beginning to describe how awesome Alex is. The best part, is the fact that we were successful! So not only does Alex treat me like a proper human being with support and eagerness to work, he is ACTUALLY capable!! So there it is. I vouch for his abilities to take care of you, and treat you like the way you deserved to be treated, he is also amazing at his job. I do admit that this is just the beginning of a long journey, but you need people like this on your side to make you feel confident and not alone. If you are in need of a family lawyer, I highly recommend Alex Fanning, as from experience, he will do right by you. I am likely to update this review as my court case progress, and I hope we result in our favour. The last thing I wish to add, is that I see some comments about this firm being expensive. Well, you get what you paid for, I am a single father and my priority is my daughter. So if you value what you're fighting for, it doesn't make a single difference how much you pay, bceuase Alex is worth every cent, and he will be considerate for you. I swear by the words above as that is exactly how I feel. Thank you for everything you have done for me Alex."

"I've used TW on business in New Zealand and would highly recommend their service. Relationship focussed and outcome orientated. They've repeatedly impressed me with their willingness to tackle unique situations with reason and gusto."
