Thank you Sheryl Waru2024-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience with Evolution Lawyers, especially working alongside Tamina and her team, has been nothing short of exceptional. What sets them apart is their genuine commitment to incorporating kaupapa Māori values and principles into their legal practice, creating a supportive and culturally sensitive environment for their clients. From the outset, I was impressed by her deep respect for tikanga Māori and her willingness to integrate it into every aspect of my legal proceedings. Tamina and her team took the time to understand my cultural perspective and ensured that my voice was heard throughout the process. Their approach was not only legally sound but also culturally responsive, which made me feel valued and understood as a Māori client. Nga mihi nui e hoa, nga manaakitanga. Sheryl Alwyn Hamblyn2024-04-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tamina from Evolution Lawyers deserves so much more than 5 stars! With the sensitive nature of the case that Tamina assisted with, we can't thank her enough. She was so professional and efficient in all aspects of the case. Her communication was excellent, and when she believes in you, she definitely fights in your corner! Highly recommend Tamina, and her team. Greg Heap2024-01-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Professional and friendly service once again from Evolution Lawyers. We had an unfortunate family disagreement about our 3 party joint property ownership, with one party insisting on immediate sale and threatening court action via their lawyer. We shared a joint mortgage as well. Two of the three parties didn't want to sell with the market conditions being poor and a sale would have been at a big loss. After talking withThomas (Managing Director) and Favour (Solicitor), and expressing our worries about not wanting to sell our home, the joint mortgage, finances and the disagreement with the other party, and the stress we were feeling Thomas got out an old fashioned white board and came up with a plan. Then over the next two months Favour put that plan into action. It involved us collating years of financial information; working with our broker (who was contacted by Favour) to obtain a new home loan which was a feat in itself given that we are an older couple; communication with the other party's lawyer and working out and getting signed a Deed of Settlement before we could progress to the actual Title Transfer and agreement between the 3 parties to move the property from three owners to two. We are amazed at the way this complex situation was able to be resolved by the hard work (including a big rush pre-Christmas to get it sorted) and professional expertise of the team at Evolution Lawyers; Thomas, Favour, Georgia, and Sophie all assisted us on this occasion. Thank You. Kylie Stafford2023-11-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can't speak highly enough of Tamina and the Evolution Lawyers team. Purchasing a property is stressful and when you throw a few curveballs into the mix you need a slick team in your corner to navigate the obstacles and set a clear path. That's exactly what they did for us, minimising the pain, keeping us safe and communicating in language we could understand at every step. Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts. You all helped our little whanau dream come true with care and aroha. Kylie & Jo. Paul Hoskin2023-10-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have nothing but positive things to say about the service, care, and expertise of the team. Service delivery was fast and accurate and being in a different country didn't make a difference because the use of technology is in their DNA. The cost was super reasonable. I highly recommend the company.Load more
