Empowering you with legal expertise

We're incredibly grateful to Leonie for helping us write our wills. She offered thoughtful suggestions we hadn’t even considered, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. Her guidance gave us real peace of mind, and we felt supported every step of the way. We would wholeheartedly recommend Schnauer and Co Lawyers to anyone looking for clear, compassionate advice.

Bethany was very pleasant, efficient, responsive and overall profession when buying and selling our properties. When not immediately available she was well supported by the Schnauer team, whether taking and passing on messages or stepping in to provide timely legal advice.

Schnauer and Co were super helpful when we had our wills put in place. It wasn’t something on our mind as a young couple with kids at the time, but they guided us through and in no time we had our wills set up. They are equipped with expert knowledge in setting up family trusts. Very easy to work with and won’t waste your time.  5 stars!

Wonderful service from Karen the Legal Executive who worked with us through the process of managing our late parents estate. Great communication and prompt service. Can highly recommend.

I can’t thank my property legal advisor, Kim Hunt enough for the exceptional service she provided during my house sale. From start to finish, she was incredibly responsive, always answering my questions promptly with clear, helpful, and reassuring information. During what could have been a very stressful and overwhelming time, she truly made the entire settlement process much calmer for me. Kim's professionalism and attentiveness gave me such a sense of trust and confidence throughout the entire ordeal. I genuinely appreciated how she took the time to explain things and made sure I was fully informed every step of the way. I would highly recommend Kim to anyone in need of legal assistance!

Hi Kim,

We took the keys, checked everything then went out for dinner. Just got home. Thank you once again for all your help and going over and beyond. We knew there was a reason we wanted to come back to Schnauer and you reminded us why.

Keep doing what you do and hopefully we will be in touch soon. Next… wills and trust!

Hi Aimee

I just wanted to pop a quick message to let you know that after 6 years and 10 months our residency application for my daughter and I have been rewarded.  Can't thank you enough for all your help and advice, we truly appreciate it beyond measure! The letter was all we needed at the end. May you have a wonderful rest of your week and if we ever need any other family lawyer advice or help in the future, we would absolutely be in touch with you. Or if we know anyone needing, we will without a doubt highly recommend you to them.

Hi Anna,

Thank you so much for giving your time, skill and knowledge in order to draft our wills and EPAs, and ensure they were properly executed and witnessed. We really enjoyed our time with you and were so impressed by your confident and genuine manner, the way you made us feel welcome and at ease, and the capable and straightforward way in which you talked us through the documents. We were so glad to meet you and we wish you well, knowing you have a very bright future ahead of you!

Hello Kim and Gail,

Our gratitude is beyond words for your support and assistance that has lead to today!
Everything has gone smoothly, the keys are in our possession and the move begins.

Thank you ever so much :-)

Kindest regards

Hi Anna

I just want to say a big thank you for all your work on this agreement. I am very relieved that part of the process is over. You made this a smoother experience than I expected.

I will contact you again when I am in a position to make a will and sort out my power of attorney.

Many thanks

Hi Jo,

Alan and I really would like to express our sincere thanks for your help regarding our wills and EPAs. Our journey from that first moment we heard my cancer diagnosis until now has been a bit of a rollercoaster ride. Thank you so much for being a part of our story in this way. We are so thankful that we can relax, knowing our wills and EPAs are sorted and that we are (at least legally) prepared for whatever happens from now on. We are also grateful for your support of our sister as she walks this rough road with us.  You and the other directors have obviously done a wonderful job of creating a caring and supportive culture in your firm, where people feel valued and are glad to work hard in return. We are really happy to know she is settled in such a great workplace.

Thank you Kim - Thank you Ali - Thank you Bethany - Thank you all.

We appreciate your diligence to closed it out today and all the effort in the lead up to settlement.

We're both grateful with your help in this journey to become 1st Home Owners, and to be the first in our family to own a home too!! We're all so excited and just wanted to express our gratitude.

Hi Kim and Bethany

On a final note, we would like to thank you for everything in helping us achieve our ultimate dream. I almost cried when we got the keys!

We wish you all the best and will be singing your praises to all of our whanau and work collegues.

Take care

Hi Anna,

It's been an absolute pleasure working with you throughout this very sensitive process with my parents.

Your patience and calm approach, removed all their fears and pre perceptions of Lawyers in the past that they have dealt with.

We will most certainly keep your number close for any other Legal matters we may face in the future.

Kindest Regards

Thank you very much for all your help!

I really appreciate it and we are very happy in our new house.

many thanks again and we will certainly recommend any family or friends

Kind regards,

We have had an excellent experience working with Kim and her team at Schnauer and Co. in securing our first home. If not for Kim, the whole legal process and terminologies would have been daunting for greenhorns like us. She had the patience to walk us through this journey and identify red flags when we came across any. Special shout out to Ali and Jack too for their support and quick responses. We would trust them with anything that is related to property purchase.

Excellent service. Offer a wide scope of knowledge and expertise for civil issues. Very professional with empathy for how dispute issues are impacting their clients lives. Lawyers go above and beyond. Highly recommend.

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness, Value

I sent out a few quote requests for services, but it was Ali at Schnauer that was the only one that sent me not only a personal response but also recommended using First Time Home Buyers Club. Throughout the process of purchasing our first home, the team have been really supportive and understanding and had given us really sound advice. Kim guided us, making sure we didn't miss out on anything and gave us timely reminders. The processes were explained and everything ran smoothly from beginning to end and we are ever grateful for their advice and assistance. They are very professional, but also very personal and come with a vast array of knowledge and experience. Highly recommend using them!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness

Nothing short of professional and personable service from Jo and the team at Schnauer. Knowledgeable, thorough, trustworthy and reliable, with very friendly service. Highly recommended.

Thank you Schnauer and Co for the excellent service. Kim and Savannah were amazing, Kim was so helpful and was always clear and precise with her communication. And Savannah was always willing to do whatever was needed and was always prompt with her delivery. Amazing experience highly recommend.
