From the outset, my experience of using Ali’s service was overwhelmingly positive. It was a somewhat sensitive matter, which he treated with dignity, respect, clear communication and forensic attention to detail. Ali offered fair and transparent pricing which bought me the ‘Rolls Royce’ of service and expertise, all underpinned by a very authentic human element. If you’re looking for legal representation from someone who’s truly “in your corner”, I couldn’t recommend Ali Romanos and Peter McKnight more.

Normally I'm intimidated to engage with the legal profession, but no problems with Ali - his friendly emails, then a letter of engagement that was simple and easy to understand, followed by advice which was precisely what I needed, on time, helpfully and clearly explained. Also Ali offered a follow-up phone conversation to touch base and for any queries. So I had a really positive engagement and highly recommend Ali and his expertise to others.

Kioranga, I highly recommend Ali Romanos. He is someone of great integrity and also passion for his work. His work standards and outputs are extremely high, producing detailed legal documents in a timely professional manner. He has a strong eye for detail as well as having a comprehensive knowledge of defamation proceedings and case law. He personal manner makes him easy to work with. He is a good listener, respectful and offers clear advice along with options for clients to consider. Achieved a great result on my behalf in the High Court. Me rongo.

Very pleased with my engagement with Mr Romanos. He offers a straightforward, friendly approach that is reassuring but also authoritative and uncompromising. He took on board everything I said in a swift and efficient manner, reflecting my views and feelings much more than just a bland and detached appraisal, and provided a detailed and comprehensive assessment of my situation and my options, far more in-depth than I had expected. At the same time, his direct advice was clear, simple and unambiguous. I felt in excellent hands. Lawyers are inevitably expensive, but the expense is easier to bear when you feel that your position has been accurately and strongly conveyed in line with your wishes. I wouldn't hesitate to approach Ali again if needed; indeed, I half wish that I had a reason to make further use of his excellent services.

Ali quickly got his head around a complex issue and gave excellent advice on our options.

Great and hard working for the client. Would use again.

I had 2 publishing houses after me and was completely mystified as to which way to turn, when a friend gave me Ali's number. What a life line! It was peace of mind having him sift through the pros and cons of each contract. He paved the way and made it easy for me to pick the best fit. He then advised a few alterations to the contract to further safe guard myself and my work. I signed with confidence, knowing that I had a sound deal - what a relief! A good spend of money. I really appreciated Ali's holistic approach - encouraging me to consider the type of people I wanted to work with as well as the money, for a great experience all round. I felt heard and understood throughout - he was professional, respectful and generous with his time, a neat guy to deal with. I feel in good hands knowing that if anything goes wrong he's just a phone call away.

Following the publication of a series of stories that were misleading and damaging to ASH, we engaged Ali to help seek a timely remedy. He was extremely efficient and the time from engagement to us settling with a published apology and a significant donation from the media outlet was less than a month. We were extremely happy with the outcome that saw the news outlet take responsibility for editorial shortcomings, acknowledge failures and publish a detailed apology on their homepage. Throughout the process Ali kept us continually updated, was very responsive and worked with us above and beyond expectations.

I engaged Ali for legal services. I was very impressed. I highly recommend him and would use his legal services again if required.

The best lawyer I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Extremely helpful, explained everything in simple terms. Could not recommend Ali enough.

I highly recommend Ali for his professional legal services. I needed legal policy for my booklet. He was very responsive and the work was done with great quality.

Like many people, I was very cautious about engaging a lawyer, especially after dealing with several who turned out to be unprofessional, too expensive, and hard to communicate with. But Ali is different. None of those negative experiences applied in my time engaged with him. I can genuinely say that he is highly professional, efficient, ethical, reasonably priced, responsive, respectful, and truly acts in the best interest of his clients. He replies promptly, communicates with clarity, and never once made me feel overwhelmed or alone in the process, qualities that are sadly rare among legal professionals. If you're still unsure about which lawyer to choose, don’t hesitate. He is a lawyer with both integrity and skill, and more people deserve to know Ali.

Such and amazing service and advice provided by Ali and Peter.

Ali was extremely professional and helpful, as well as completing legal work to the highest standard on two of my true-crime documentaries for TVNZ.

When it was suggested to me that I should hire a solicitor to cover any possible defamatory responses from my memoir I thought oh no...another cost. But it's all been worth it.Ali has been really prompt with all my requests and his suggestions which I have taken on board with grateful thanks, have given me peace of mind. I would recommend highly his skill in this area of expertise. Thanks Ali

I have been very impressed with the service Ali provided me. He was prompt, knowledgeable, understood my situation immediately, empathetic, and committed to getting a just outcome for me. He was thorough, and his advice was sound. Ali was easy to deal with, with his essential blend of professionalism and human touch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ali.

Ali was the perfect lawyer and he achieved the best possible result for me. He is highly capable and professional, but at the same time he also genuinely cares. It was so easy to communicate with him as Ali would give you brilliant legal advice while also respecting your decisions and instructions. If anyone reading this is deciding who to hire, I would say call Ali immediately- you won't regret it. I've never written a Google review in my entire life, but I just had to leave this one. Long story short, if you've ever watched 'Suits'- Ali is Harvey and Mike all in one!

Ali Romanos was my lawyer in the case I filed against my Power of Attorney holder in NZ who cheated me of a considerable amount of money and property. As I was living outside of NZ, it was Ali who did all the work for the case. And he did a real professional job. All details of the case was fully covered and presented which made it so easy for the Judgement to come in my favor. Ali also did a real good job in keeping me informed and getting the documentation by Email and Skype. His dedication enabled for the case to be concluded with minimal delay. I have no hesitation in having Ali on my side on any legal matter.

Ali came recommended by top investigative journalist Nicky Hager. He first helped pro bono with a difficult book project that touched on many potentially defamatory issues and later managed to retrieve a fairer fee from the publisher for me. His support was an immense help, not just legally but also psychologically. Even now, five years later, he picks up the phone immediately to address my random questions and always has really useful advice without wasting time. He understands how media works from the inside out and is a pleasant, smart and supportive person to have on team.
