First off, let me say they got the job done. I'm not questioning their competence. Their lawyers were personable, did listen, and gave solid advice.
However, their communication leaves a lot to be desired. Items canvassed during meetings weren't recorded properly, meaning extra work (and cost) was subsequently required. Some mistakes were made in the preparation of documents when exact details had been provided. While billing for this was promised to be reversed, it wasn't on the initial invoice, and I had to raise the issue to have it corrected.
My biggest concern is the way they bill. All previous legal advice I've received has been invoiced with an itemized, line by line, account where I've been able to see the work done and time charged. Rainey Collins did not initially do this (I had to request it) and that made it difficult to understand their billing.
When you're paying thousands of dollars for legal advice, it's nice to know exactly where it's going. They really need to do better here.
Finally cost, lawyers are not cheap. I accept that. But, I would have to say Rainey Collins is at the pricier end of the market. As part of the work they did for me, conveyancing was involved. While it had some complicating factors, I am not comfortable with what they charged.
To their credit, Rainey Collins did discount my bill after I raised my concerns. But, even then the amount billed was, I believe, excessive.
I would not recommend them for conveyancing work. In hindsight I should have used another firm, but I thought, at the time, keeping all my legal affairs in one firm would be more convenient.response / report this review -

We had an issue arise while in the States that could only be dealt with through a lawyer in New Zealand. Contrary to another review I just read and why I wanted to review Rainey Collins, they were the only lawyer who took the time to speak with us. Immediately our main contact (we are still in process so don't want to say whom as this is public) was empathetic, very sharp and eloquent. The party which had caused harmed banked on the fact that we wouldn't figure out what they had done because we were across the continent and that we wouldn't be able to get a lawyer, piece together the countless criminal acts, be able to legally reach or file a complaint against their lawyer or be able to fight this.
Even though we get emotional we DO appreciate how much Rainey Collins respects the court and the law as we like to work with people that have integrity and are thorough. They are a perfect balance as law firm; fair, priced well but reasonable, communicative, allow us to feel and participate in our case and treats us kindly and with respect. I wish they were here in the States and could be my Business lawyers.
I have no doubt that however this turns out they were our best chance at righting great wrongs from all the way across the world ❤️ We love our two lawyers and all the others lawyers there who have helped us thus far 🙏🏽response / report this review -

Alan from Rainey Collins agreed to help me in the middle of a very difficult process and from the moment I made contact was incredibly responsive, thoughtful, legally astute as well as practically minded. Alan would either respond virtually straight away, or let me know when he could respond - I don't think you can get any better than that. In the most part, with correspondence, I drafted and Alan reviewed, which worked really well for me and was very gracious of Alan. When Alan drafted, the work was of the highest quality. We have decided to put all our affairs with Rainey Collins and feel very confident we are in good hands. Thanks Alan and the team.
