Firm review summary

Haigh Lyon receives mixed feedback, with recent clients praising staff members including Shaun McGivern, Karen Martin, Amanda Donovan, and Jenny Hawker for professionalism, quick turnarounds, and results in family law matters. However, a dissatisfied client reported persistent follow-up issues, minimal work output, slow service, and billing described as expensive relative to value, citing the firm as overloaded with cases. The firm appears to deliver strong service in specific transactions and family law work, but concerns about responsiveness and cost-effectiveness have been raised by some clients. Client experience appears to depend significantly on the individual lawyer assigned and the complexity of the matter.

About Legal Services in Auckland

Every lawyer practising in New Zealand must hold a current practising certificate from the New Zealand Law Society, and each one appears on the Law Society's public register with the areas of practice they choose to list. The register is the place to confirm a lawyer's standing.

LawyerFinder NZ reproduces register details as they stood when we last read the register, and links to each lawyer's entry so you can check it is still current. When choosing a lawyer, ask about their experience with matters like yours and what they will charge.
