Trans-tasman legal 'issues'
We are increasingly called on to assist with trans-Tasman proceeds (confiscation of criminal assets) and related significant criminal and civil matters, where clients have one foot in each country, and fingers in many pies.
If your loved one in Australia or New Zealand has property seized, restrained, and police seek to forfeit that property, contact us. Do not wait until that loved one gets bail, or gets a protection visa, or you get a chance to talk to them. If there are family assets or 'essential property' that you need as a family, contact us immediately so that we can act proactively in both countries. In many circumstances, we know the 'man of the house' is in custody when these matters first begin and the family (especially his wife or partner) feels lost. Many of the wives and girlfriends we talk to want a lawyer, but they are not sure what to do and are scared. In our opinion, this is where we excel. We will step in and take care of things and provide advice to you, until the man of the house is out on bail and he can take over instructions. All you need to do is (1) get our proposal for engagement signed and (2) ensure the initial legal fee is paid. Once that is done, we can move pretty quickly.
In New Zealand, there are strict timelines in the High Court for getting your opposition filed against restraining orders, further orders, and forfeiture orders. Strict timelines apply for appeals also. We see alot of property forfeited simply because people did not understand the timelines involved and/or focused only on getting their loved one out on bail.
Give us a call - text - or email.
