Reviews of Turner Hopkins

Tim McSweeney and his team were absolute legends in helping me get through the complicated process of getting my residents visa. They worked efficiently, offered sound advice and made the process stress free so I would very much recommend them for anyone who is embarking on this process. All we need to do now is get through the complicated MIQ process prior to being able to get back to NZ.

My sister and I had to make the difficult decision to apply to the Court for a PPPR application for our Mum who has been suffering from dementia. Samuel was able to guide us through the process in a professional and courteous manner in which we were able to organise the appropriate paperwork to ensure the application was granted, thank you. N. Harkin

Turner Hopkins and the team were outstanding in assisting our family with our emigration process, everything from starting the emigration journey all the way to obtaining residency visas. Tim McSweeney and his team are extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and professional. Superb service all around.

Tim assisted with our Resident visa. Together with Danica & Clare they provided reliable and accurate guidance and were very easy to contact during times of concern. We will always be grateful to Tim and would highly recommend Turner Hopkins.

Turner Hopkins have looked after my legal affairs for many years. This year they got me through a very difficult and upsetting personal situation where the circumstances were trying to say the least. With the expert guidance I received from John Stirling and Michael Robinson the matter was brought to a swift and most satisfactory conclusion. If you are looking for a firm that will listen to your concerns and act promptly with the best professional knowledge driving decisions - Turner Hopkins is it.

Tim McSweeney has been greatly helpful through our resident visa process from Detailed Replies to my numerous questions to absolutely taking care of all the hurdles we faced. They were tedious 2 long years and they stuck by us all through! Thanks Mahafrin, Danica & especially Tim - we are two happy clients! :)

I would absolutely recommend working with Tim McSweeney at Turner Hopkins. Tim helped my family and I apply and receive our residence visas. He was always very informative and responsive to my questions. Thank you Tim for all your help, it is very much appreciated.

We approached Tim McSweeney to assist us with the process of emigration to New Zealand. Throughout, we have experienced extremely professional and competent service from Tim, as well as each member of his team. They provided us with a clear and realistic process and cost, and managed each hurdle efficiently. Without their knowledge and support, I don't believe we would be Residents in New Zealand today. Thank you for assisting us with this process and guiding us so efficiently.

I went to Turner Hopkins with an extremely stressful immigration situation that required urgent handling. Clare Devine and Tim McSweeney were empathetic but also honest and professional. They worked diligently and were always contactable, keeping me updated every step of the way. They provided a great result in a very short turnaround time. This was not only extremely important to my life, but also for all my family. I cannot thank the Turner Hopkins team enough

We contacted Tim McSweeney of Turner Hopkins after deciding to emigrate to New Zealand. We knew our chances were slim and our application fairly technical. We would not have managed without their help. Tim and his assistant, Kera, worked wonders and made the process seamless and significantly impacted the speed of the process. I highly recommend Tim and his team without hesitation.

Tim and Kera at Turner Hopkins handled all parts of our spousal permanent residency application excellently. Tim took us through the process step by step and if it was not for them we would of well applied for the incorrect visa type. They also assisted in getting a response urgently when an employment opportunity arose. We can highly recommend Turner Hopkins for all your residency requirements. Our experience was specifically for visas for South Africans.

Turner Hopkins are excellent. We have worked closely with Lizandra and the commercial team over the years and they always deliver on time, and exceed expectations. They understand my business, my needs and are professional. We appreciate all your help to date.

I reach out to Mahafrin at Turner Hopkins after having applied for my visa and received negative feedback from INZ and having many issues with my employer at that time. She handled my essential skills visa applications and then my boyfriend's partnership visa. She guided us through the process and did an amazing job despite our really complex situation. She was understanding and resourceful. We both got our visas in the end and we cannot thank her enough for what she has done for us. Now Mahafrin is helping us to get our residency. The cost might be more expensive than other lawyers but it's totally worth it! I highly recommend Turner Hopkins for immigration processes.

Turner Hopkins has been very helpful with my immigration process. They have walked me through the process and assisted with a list of what needs to be done and gathered for the process. It has been helpful having someone who understands the nuances of the law and guides you in everything needed so we won't delay the process. I think for the work they did it was good value. Immigration is one of those areas that you really want to make sure you are meeting all requirements and do it right the first time. We worked with Mahafrin who was very respectful and responsive to all my questions. We will use them one more time to get through the residency process.

A big thank you to Tim and his team for all the effort in attending to our immigration matters. A long frustrating process was made easy, giving us the time to focus on other aspects of a very difficult but exciting chapter in our lives! Have no hesitation in recommending Tim and Turner Hopkins to anyone!!

Massive thanks to Tim and his team. We appreciate all the effort they’ve done on our application. Tim informed us immediately while INZ gave any feedback on our case. Turner Hopkins’s service is really second to none. Will definitely recommend to my friends.

It has been a pleasure to deal with Tim and the staff at Turner Hopkins. Tim knows every detail of the visa application process. We got excellent guidance all the way through the process, we were able to deliver exactly what Immigration New Zealand was asking for. Highly recommended.

Today I received the news from Tim McSweeney, my immigration lawyer, that my NZ Resident Visa and that of my wife and our children has been approved. Right throughout this (at times challenging) process, Tim has been extremely professional and supportive. I would highly recommend Turner Hopkins, and in particular, Tim McSweeney. Our association has changed the trajectory of my life.

Dear Turner and Hopkins Team, from our first call to our visa approval we had a fabulous experience. After having a lot of negative experience with other immigration agents / lawyers it was hard for us to trust another firm. I am so glad I trusted my instincts and decided for Turner and Hopkins. My first phone conversation was with Mahafrin which also finalised my visa application. Mahafrin is professional and strict but this is exactly what you need if you want a positive outcome. A lawyer which has an incredible knowledge and wants to do the best job she is able to do. I can highly recommend Mahafrin. She made my visa application happen in only two weeks. We are over the moon and she took so much pressure of us as a family. Don't even think twice. Call Mahafrin today and you will not be disappointed. Thanks for everything - amazing work! Andy, Lisa and little Lenny :-)

Highly recommended. I found them through Google and with the positive reviews, hired them and made one of the best decisions in my life! Tim McSweeney managed to turn around my SMC application from almost getting declined to approved! His knowledge and expertise regarding immigration law plus the fact that he's accommodating to any questions/requests makes him and his team all worth it. Thanks again for your help, Tim and team!!!

We are a software company in Switzerland and had some issues with a company in New Zealand. Searching for the right lawyer who could assist us professionally was not easy. Lucky that we find Turner Hopkings and Mister Michael Robinson and his team helped us in this case very professionally. In those instances, you need the most professional support, attention to details, approachability to consult and above all genuinely caring about your situation. All of those I got from Michael and the Turner Hopkins staff. I thank him and his team very much. I can highly recommend.

My mother and I are very grateful to have had this opportunity to have your excellent professional service ,which saved us from a hopeless situation.We would like to appreciate Mahafrin and Kera very much. As a permanent citizen with a Chinese passport in Japan, I have several complex matters with my NZ Visa regarding visiting my 86 year old mother who lives alone in NZ. Especially after a couple of declined experiences, it's almost an impossible mission for a normal foreigner like me without any knowledge of NZ laws. In fact, several lawyers I had before could not help me before I found Solicitor lawyer Mahafrin Variava and immigration specialist Kera Wang from Turner Hopkins . From the very beginning of my case, We had a clear strategy and careful advice which calmed my aging mother and I very much. At every stage I got very clear and correct instructions from Mahafrin.Their advice helped me collect a lot of support docutments, even my personal statement. Moreover, her high quality documentation and timely contacts have been supporting me through the whole process ,especially at the last stage to contact Immigration.Mahafrin's highly professional advise support me overcome the very tough moments and save my mother while she stayed in Hospitals.The very fast and correct communications with Immigration from them is the very best I have ever had. Frankly, I’m still reading the statement written by Mahafrin ,which is also very best and absolutely makes me feel I’m protected by the laws , justice and fairness always. We are extremely happy with their fine work and I have no words to justly appreciate Mahafrin and Kera. I just would like to have their support with my Visa issues forever.

We cannot rate Tim McSweeney's service highly enough! He knows how to navigate seamlessly through the tricky paths of immigration, even when the case looked bleak and near impossible, due to the mess up of a previous Immigration Adviser (who is not linked to Turner Hopkins in any way) and he does all this in a friendly and relaxed manner. He has the ability of making one feel like you're his only client and responds to all questions, even the most inane, in a super fast response time. Thank you, Tim.

I have got service from Turner Hopkins for three times, and will use their for next time. Tim McSweeny and Mahafrin Variava are very good team and professonal. Tim is kind and easy understanding person. Mahafrin follow, support and update my case very well in good time. They give good suggtions and work very smart Thank you very much for the excellent service you have provided! I am very much satisfied. I will be one of voice to present and recommend your company to anyone who want professinal legal capability service

We would like to express our sincere appreciation to Mahafrin and Tim in particular, and the Turner Hopkins team for their professionalism and expertise in handling our Immigration matter. With young children and an ill family member overseas, it was critical that we received accurate professional advice and a prompt resolution. Mahafrin and Tim delivered way beyond our expectations with empathy and understanding. Thank you so much, and we will always be so very grateful for your help.

My experience with their immigration service was excellent. They helped my family to land our work to resident visa. I'm especially impressed with the detailed guidance during the preparations of the relationship evidences, I was a bit disoriented at first but with their help our visa application went very smoothly. Highly recommend!

The New Zealand Resident Visa application can be intimidating if you are not familiar with the proper steps to follow, in order to guarantee success. The Turner Hopkins Law firm has given me total peace of mind by helping me with preparing our applications and with the process as well (by making a complex and hard to understand process, easy to understand). I was assisted each step of the way, and informed of any new updates. The whole process was made simple and if I had a question, they were ready to explain. If you are looking for a firm which is very knowledgeable of the Visa application process, ready to answer your questions if you have any, staff who truly care of the outcome of your application, then this is the place to go. I strongly recommend this professional group to (Tim McSweeney, Mahafrin Variava and Kera ) any one who seek the best services for their specific immigration cases and expect the best results!! I am also proud and happy to be able to call myself a "Kiwi" now!!

We were truly impressed by the excellent professional services rendered by Turner Hopkins, and specifically, Tim McSweeney. Tim is an epitome of care, empathy, astute legal prowess, and in-depth experience in navigating the complex immigration processes. He delivers on his promises, is a pillar of support during the most challenging aspects of the process and with his calm assurance, deep knowledge and expertise in immigration laws & INZ processes, helps ensure a positive and timely outcome. We cannot begin to thank him enough for his meticulous and attentive care, kind patience and astute guidance in closely following up our case to its positive fruition. He is always happy to help, willing to answer our numerous queries, alleviate our concerns and demonstrates a keen sense of empathy & patience. In the process, Tim has now become a good friend and a go-to for legal counsel.

Excellent work ethic, great communication and, most importantly, human, respectful and efficient. I needed their help on a tricky immigration situation that I had found myself in. Mahafrin was the solicitor who responded to my enquiries with care and professionalism, even though I was not a client yet. After the first consultation, I knew I was in good hands. It was the first time that, after having consulted a few other lawyers and immigration advisors, I didn't feel like a silly immigrant, who has no idea how to do things right. I felt respected and fully aware of my options, while at the same time they made no false promises. Mahafrin also showed the right balance between empathy and pragmatism, not making false promises but being genuinely supportive. She was very good at communicating all the steps and updates and guiding us through the process. I feel very lucky and grateful for their work and support.

I couldn't find the right employee in NZ to carry out one of the crucial digital roles I desperately needed to fill so I started looking overseas and found the ideal candidate. After trying to apply for a work visa myself without success, I approached Mahafrin Variava at Turner Hopkins who seamlessly worked her magic to get the work visa for my employee. I highly recommend Mahafrin. Her experience and professional approach made the process very easy and not stressful at all. Thank you Mahafrin.

Thank you so much to the team at Turner Hopkins. It was a very tough and long battle with INZ but you guys made it easier and possible ,you were on top of everything. Special thanks to Aaron Martin and Mahafrin Variava who fought like battlers and got my Residence Visa Approved. It wouldn’t have possible without Mahafrin. Applying for visa can be very stressful job so If anyone looking for the Best Immigrant Advice contact Mahafrin she has the solution for every immigration matter. Highly recommended A+++++.

I would like to say thank you so much to Tim McSweeney, Mahafrin Variava, Kera Wang. I am pleased to have you guys attending to immigration matters on my behalf after I previously used a lawyer. Your submissions, coupled with your professionalism, your dedication, and your attention to detail, have been very much helpful to me and my family. I want to send my compliments indeed for your excellent service. “We are here to help you”, you kept your word, that always made me feel warm and comfortable during the stressful time waiting for the decision from INZ. Special thanks to Mahafrin Variava. All the work you have done have been to a high standard. You have been wonderful to deal with. I really appreciated it and that I was kept informed of progress even during your overseas travel. From now on, someone is looking for if I know the best immigration advice, I’m perfectly willing to recommend Turner Hopkins.

I cannot thank Aaron Martin enough for helping me and my wife with our immigration case. Aaron is a brilliant professional with years of experience. If he had not helped us with our case we would have run into big troubles. I would suggest all immigrants think twice before applying, even if you think that your immigration case is clear and straightforward. I also would like to say thank you to all Turner Hopkins team for being friendly and professional.

My employer was going through a restructure and I contacted Michael Robinson for legal consultation. After a short discussion, I was convinced that I trust this person to represent me. During this difficult period, Michael led the case very professionally, keeping all the details under control and making sure I am getting the best outcome. In those instances, you need the most professional support, attention to details, approachability to consult and above all genuinely caring about your situation. All of those I got from Michael and the Turner Hopkins staff.

Amazing service ! Kera and Tim are absolutely awesome. My case is not easy at all, there are issues happened in almost every step. During the six months, Kera is always respond me at the first time, help me to clear what is happening and found solutions for all these expected and unexpected problems. She is the most efficient, responsible, organised, professional, and Immigration Consultant I have ever found. I’m so lucky to have her. Tim has amazed me with his professional knowledge, thoroughness, carefulness, and also patience when answering my questions. With staff like Kera and Tim, Turner Hopskins is exactly the place you should go to when you need law support .

We can't thank Tim and Kera enough for sorting out my boyfriend's visa issue! We have been through a long and uneasy wait and sought help from different layer firms, but all the answers were the same, they think the chance of success are slim to none, nobody would take this case. Luckily we found Turner Hopkins, Kera recommended us Tim. We're truly impressed by their professionalism. The whole application process has been remarkably smooth, Kera has always been patient and keep us up to date, she's a trustworthy person! Massive Thanks to Tim and Kera!!! <3 :)

I was provided an excellent and professional service at Turner Hopkins during my partnership based residency application. I'd like to thank Tim McSweeney and Mahafrin Variava who dealt with my case for making me feel at ease during the application process and answering any questions or concerns I had during the process.

(Mahafrin-Turner Hopkins) I have been through many immigration process for my life I always submit my applications by my own.. suddenly unknowingly I made a mistake on my application ended up being dishonesty in front of IO. being so genuinely I was totally blanked out what I have to do next.... I have done some research finding immigration lawyers/advisors every place I went I feel they were totally into money. I try to explain my entire situation but no one have took a deep understanding in my case. at my final attempt I seen “mahafrin” she understood my entire situation taking an extra after hours time almost 1.5 hours for which she also informed us only then need to pay this amount if you are interested further this will be total charges then sent me a email describing case what is according to her understanding with followed emails mahafrin always asked me to send more and more documents and information written first I felt what’s happening here but it’s true that they have go deep into the case so there will be no chances of failure also we will have an idea how much effort they put in writing out our case.... fees are slightly difference from other immigration lawyers but Turner Hopkins are the best and in pricing. Finally my resident visa approved Thanks to mahafrin & team

Our needs were taken care of from start to finish. We felt that we had professional support along the way. Highly recommend Tim for any immigration requirements.

I have cooperated twice, and the first cooperation was very smooth and I felt very professional. For the second time, I was always urging, otherwise there was no movement, and they often forgot important time nodes. After the cooperation was completed, I asked some more questions and ignored me. It feels bad!

Maria Green has been outstanding to deal with. She is a truely professional and most effective lawyer. Her work is thorough and she will always guide you in the right direction. She has a warm kind personality and will always do her best for her clients. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you Maria for your fantastic work.

When you need a result this is the place to go to. The best lawyers by far anywhere to deal with, absolutely amazing and worth every penny!!. Professional and on the ball Mahafrin and Tim are extremely focused on the results and nothing was too much trouble. We cannot thank you enough for the advice, the support and the outcome that you achieved for us. Thank you so much for everything, we were humbled by your dedication to our case and will recommend you to everyone.

We had a sensitive immigration visa issue for our adopted son, thankfully we found Turner Hopkins and the service provided by Tim McSweeney and Mahafrin Variava was nothing short of first class ... I went from sleepless nights to a sense of calm when the Turner Hopkins team swung into gear and brought a speedy resolution to a complex range of issues, we are extremely grateful for their professionalism but also the friendly nature in which they handled our situation. I really did feel an ease in my worry and anxiety from the very first contact on the phone ... Teresa Fowler

Tim and Mahafrin helped us through a rather long and arduous process and were always available to get back to us and update us in good time. They were always professional and to the point, and diligent in pressing INZ about our case. A very good team.

Tim McSweeny and Mahafrin Variava have been superb. It was a long journey for my wife and I to get her and our children's residency in NZ but it has been all worth it. When we went to pieces, Tim and Mahafrin kept it together. When we doubted, they reassured. We cannot thank them enough and wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone battling INZ.

I have struggled with different legal firms over the years, but over the past few years I have engaged with Turner Hopkins with various requirements from personal relating to wills, family trust, property settlements and contracts through to commercial engagements including employment advice, commercial lease agreements and general legal advice.
