  • "Thank you so much for your assistance in this matter. You have been so sweet and helpful and have made a stressful life event a bit easier. If I ever make it back to New Zealand one day (which I would love to) I will buy you a drink! Better yet, a bottle of wine! My ex and I always had grand plans to crash Sam Neill's vineyard. Kiwis are such amazing, hospitable people. May you continue helping others in their trying times and live your best life in the process. You almost feel like a penpal to me at this point. "

    ~ Samantha

  • I want to take this opportunity and thank you so much for all your work, care, and support during my challenging journey - hope you know how valuable it is to know and hear this friendly caring voice on the other side of the phone - so incredibly helpful and much appreciated!

    ~ T Eyal

  • "I was referred to Paul four years ago by my cousin. Since our first interaction with Paul my family and I have had the most amazing journey. It's been a rollercoaster ride, with Covid lockdown thrown into the mix, but Paul kept us focussed on the prize and helped to ease our fears. I'm so glad that we decided to persevere with the move. Paul didn't make us feel like just another client. He took a vested interest in us and ensured we were kept up to date every step of the way. I always received feedback within minutes of emailing him, even after hours. Thank you, Paul. Words cannot express how grateful we are to you. A special thank you to Jackie for all her help and the work she did behind the scenes."

    ~ L Chunder

  • "Seriously, we count having Paul and Jackie as our Immigration Advising team as one of our greatest blessings at this point. I realize that might sound a bit much, but when you are new immigrants, your immigration process affects so very much of your life. We can't always make INZ (or jobs) move as quickly as we would like. But at every step, we have been able to trust that Paul knew exactly where we were in the process, where we were going, and what the pros and cons to each path were. We have always felt confident in following Paul's advice. We couldn't possibly be more grateful."

    ~ A York

  • "Turner Hopkins have been superb. It was a long journey for my wife and I to get her and our children's residency in NZ but it has been all worth it. When we went to pieces, Turner Hopkins kept it together. When we doubted, they reassured. We cannot thank them enough and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone battling INZ."

    ~ C & R Kelly

  • "We are a software company in Switzerland and had some issues with a company in New Zealand. Searching for the right lawyer who could assist us professionally was not easy. Lucky that we find Turner Hopkins and Michael Robinson and his team helped us in this case very professionally. In those instances, you need the most professional support, attention to details, approachability to consult and above all genuinely caring about your situation. All of those I got from Michael and the Turner Hopkins staff. I thank him and his team very much. I can highly recommend."

    ~ M Acar

  • "We owe our new lives almost entirely to Paul. We could not recommend him enough for anyone who seeks NZ immigration advice. I have not come across many advisers who have the same work ethic, professionalism and kindness as Paul. We have quite literally put our lives, and that of our little NZ born girl, in his hands and for that we will forever be grateful. Thank you Paul, for everything!"

    ~ A and C van der Westhuizen

  • My employer was going through a restructure and I contacted Michael Robinson for legal consultation. After a short discussion, I was convinced that I trust this person to represent me. During this difficult period, Michael led the case very professionally, keeping all the details under control and making sure I am getting the best outcome. In those instances, you need the most professional support, attention to details, approachability to consult and above all genuinely caring about your situation. All of those I got from Michael and the Turner Hopkins staff.

    ~ A Bialik

  • “Turner Hopkins helped us through a rather long and arduous process and were always available to get back to us and update us in good time. They were always professional and to the point, and diligent in pressing INZ about our case. A very good team.”

    ~ C Broadhurst

  • "I reached out to Mahafrin at Turner Hopkins after having applied for my visa and received negative feedback from INZ and having many issues with my employer at that time. She handled my essential skills visa applications and then my boyfriend's partnership visa. She guided us through the process and did an amazing job despite our really complex situation. She was understanding and resourceful. We both got our visas in the end and we cannot thank her enough for what she has done for us. Now Mahafrin is helping us to get our residency. The cost might be more expensive than other lawyers but it's totally worth it! I highly recommend Turner Hopkins for immigration processes."

    ~ C Renoleau

  • "I just wanted to send my compliments for your service Joy, in particular in seeking an appropriate property for my business. During that period you have given me valuable information and guidance in processing the buying procedures smoothly."

    ~ Walt

  • "To Michael Robinson – I wanted to thank you and your colleagues for many years of excellent service to the Bank. You have an outstanding business that has proved to be one of the most reliable and ethical businesses that Collections have dealt with in the almost 9 years I was with the Bank."

    ~ Head of Collections

  • "I've only been a client of Turner Hopkins for the last six months but I have been busy in that time. Phil has done legal work for me surrounding wills and a complicated house sale and purchase. All the work he has done for me has been to a high standard. I feel very secure in the fact that Phil is ensuring my financial assets are safe as I buy and sell the family home."

    ~ Deb

  • "Joy, we cannot thank you enough for your help with our purchase! You have been wonderful to deal with and so proactive (and patient with my numerous emails). We will be visiting NZ in April so will make sure we drop in to thank you in person."

    ~ Mia

  • "I'd like to compliment the team and Kathryn in particular on dealing with our property transaction. The time frames were super tight, it was Christmas week and the brokers got it wrong. Kathryn was an utter delight to work with and managed to transact the purchase prior to deadline. Our lives were literally in her hands. Top effort and thank you - a total star."

    ~ Ayne

  • "TH justified my faith in them by supporting us when we needed it most and, above all, being patient whilst we struggled through the worst financial crisis we'd experienced. Thank you."

    ~ Graeme

  • "I would like to say I was pleased to have Kathryn Wynd attending to matters on my behalf. Kathryn's professionalism, coupled with her knowledge of law, and attention to detail, has been very helpful to me and my family."

    ~ Raj

  • TH took all the stress and hassle out of the situation for me. Would highly recommend your firm to my fellow franchises owner/managers if they have any employment issues.
