Very proactive and dedicated

Michael successfully gained a work visa and then a permanent residence visa for me in Nelson, all within 5 months. He was very proactive and dedicated. It was obvious he didn't consider this 9-to-5 job, I got several emails from him in the evening and at the weekend. I'm very pleased I came to him, it was money well-spent.

Fees will vary depending on which firm you approach and what kind of work they need to undertake. Law firms generally require their staff solicitors to record their time and use that as the basis for billing. We adopt a fixed fee approach instead, giving a bit more certainty to our clients about the cost involved.
