Description

We aim to meet the unmet legal need of the Māngere community, offering education, information, assistance, advice and representation, depending on the situation. There are no other law firms in the area and the need is high. If you need a lawyer but can't afford one and you live in the Māngere area, please give us a call.

Or, if you have a group of 10 people or more - we can come to you to teach on an area of law that is of interest to you. You can choose any or multiple topics depending on your requirements. There is no cost - but a donation is welcome.
