How do I choose a divorce lawyer in Northland?

We do not rank lawyers. Each card below shows what the register records: role and practice, year of admission, and practising certificate. Seniority is not the same as experience with matters like yours, so ask how many similar matters a lawyer has handled, who will do the work, and for the basis of their fees in writing, which lawyers other than barristers sole must give you in advance (Conduct and Client Care Rules 2008, rule 3.4).

How do I check a divorce lawyer is registered?

Every practising lawyer in New Zealand must hold a current practising certificate from the New Zealand Law Society. Search the Law Society's Find a Lawyer page, or open a profile here: each links to the lawyer's register entry and shows the certificate type and expiry date as we last read them. The Law Society does not accredit specialisations.

Coverage: we hold 14,561 of about 19,126 register entries (roughly 76%), so these are our counts, not the size of the profession. Practice areas are self-selected by each lawyer and indicate the work they are willing to take on. The New Zealand Law Society does not accredit areas of practice.
