Community Law Waikato

This is a retrospective review. Many years ago I was living in Hamilton and was having difficulty with my employer. These guys gave me great advice and confirmed what I already knew, as well as providing some alternative points of view and I was extremely grateful as I was on my own with no support network in Hamilton at that time. They were very empathetic. Well worth a visit. Thanks Team.

I went to this place seeking legal advice, not helpful at all, except to inform me of things that I already knew. My case was against the Fines Department, in August of 2010 I set up a payment schedule to pay off my fines approximately $5,500 at $35 per week and in November 2018 I went to court after paying this amount for over 8 years totalling over $12,000 and was told I still owed approximately $4,500 I was astounded since I had recieved no further fines during that 8 year period. Community Law advised me that I would need to get documented records of all payments made towards my fines from August 2010 up until November 2018 and to get a budget advisor all these things I had already set in motion before going to see Community Law. I appeared in the Hamilton District Court in 2019 with all my documentation showing that I had made payments over that 8 year period totalling over $12,500 towards my Fines and I refused to pay the courts Fines Department any more money, The presiding Judge convicted me of non payment of fines and I was sentenced to 2 months home detention and the remaining balance of my fines which I had proved that I had paid almost 3 times the amount towards my original fine of $5,500 were aquashed, The Legal system in this country is corrupt and the Community Law centre is helping to promote corruption, they don't give a dam about people's basic human rights they use the law to suit themselves and there own personal gains.
