Review summary

Hutt City Law receives polarised feedback, with supportive clients praising lawyer Johanne Greally's advocacy in family law matters and noting her willingness to fight for clients' interests, alongside positive comments about staff support. However, multiple reviewers have raised serious concerns, alleging unethical conduct including evidence concealment, affidavit manipulation, failure to submit critical documents, and involvement in cases resulting in parental alienation—issues that have prompted complaints to the Law Society. One reviewer criticised the lawyer's professionalism and described the service as causing reputational harm.

All the negative reviews on here are from sore losers on the opposing side. Who are too ashamed to post with their real names.

Johanne is very good at what she does. She is very knowledgeable, informative and helpful. If you are in need of a very good family lawyer this is it! If I could give her more stars I would.

Thank you ladies for helping my family and I ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Greetings Everyone, Drawing from my previous experiences with this lawyer. Additionally, I am representing several other parents who have encountered similar issues and have been estranged from their children due to Ms. Greally's unethical practice.

I am currently in the process of lodging a formal complaint to the Law Society about Johanne Greally's Serious Misconduct in my Employment Relations Case. She refused to do her job in a professional manner at every turn and caused grievous harm to my reputation by failing to submit a critical document in my case! Seriously go somewhere else for Legal Services! Johanne Greally is a cold, uncaring incompetent Lawyer!
