We are a firm of migrants and know what it is like to be in a foreign land facing problems that need solving and we are dedicated to providing professional services and solutions for our immigrant clients as well as the many New Zealanders who use our services.
Whether our clients come to see us with a criminal problem, a commercial dispute, a family issue or indeed an immigration matter, we know they need our help and we never let them down. We take great pride in our work and gain great happiness resolving our clients’ problems and helping our immigrant clients to make their way in their new life in New Zealand.
Every single one of us at Amicus Law knows what it is like to emigrate from our home countries and make a new life in this land and we think that makes us unique in the New Zealand legal profession. Whilst we may have come here for different reasons, some of us searching for new opportunities and challenges, others looking for a better life, others yet looking for a different way of life, what we all have in common is a hard work ethic. We all knew when we came here that it would not be easy, but we were determined to succeed. We bring that attitude to the office everyday and that is what makes us different – and we hope better – than any other law firm in New Zealand.
What our Amicus Law name means
The 8th Edition Black’s Law Dictionary defines “amicus” as a “friend of the court.” Whilst our barristers indeed have the ear of the judges, we also prefer to think of it as something more than that.
The Latin origins of the word “justice” equate it to “righteousness” or “equity” and in that spirit we strive to help our clients get the justice they need. In that sense, not only are we officers of the court, but also members of the community who fight to give the learned profession of law the good name it deserves.
Our promises
We promise you we will advance your cause with the utmost professionalism, we will charge you a reasonable fee and we will conduct ourselves in the most ethical fashion we can in dealing with your problem.
Our work and our clients’ reactions
We do not only offer you our testament. Instead, we invite you to visit our pages that deal with the many recommendations we have received from clients, the many leading cases we have argued and won, the many scholarly articles we have written and the complex files we deal with, which from time-to-time have attracted media interest.
We hope you find our website interesting and useful. We look forward to advising and representing you.
