WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT PHIL
Ben Lee
I was in a lot of trouble with my employer taking unreasonable steps to remove me from my position.
Anna N – National Operations Manager
I engaged Phil as my lawyer at a time when my workplace had become untenable for me to continue working there. I’d never gone to a lawyer for a work related issue before and was very unsure what options I would even have for exiting my work.
Janine Butcher (Former senior executive of large international company)
I approached Phil for urgent advice on an employment matter – I had recently (and unexpectedly!) been advised that my Senior Executive role was being restructured.
Senior Project Advisor (Autonomous Crown Entity)
I would highly recommend Phil Mitchell for your employment related matter. Phil provided me with excellent legal advice, knowledge and expertise.
M R Singh, Business Development Manager
I was unfairly dismissed from my position from a major NZ corporate and Phil’s confidence in the strength of my case encouraged me to pursue the case.
Deb K, Engineer
Phil helped me through a crucial time in my employment situation. I came to him for assistance and advice with my employment issue, unsure what to do.
Alison McLeod – Director (McLeod Hart Law Ltd)
I was in a senior legal role with a large organisation. I came to see Phil when the relationship between myself and my employer became complex as a consequence of different expectations of what the role entailed.
Jennifer, Clerical
Phil was a rock when I was completely stressed out; he didn’t mind me crying in his office!
Pierre Marchant
I don’t know any other lawyer who answers his phone at the weekend or after hours. Being able to contact Phil when it suited me, was of great assistance.
Grieg Elder
Friendly, helpful and effective. I was able to move on after Phil quickly sorted my personal grievance against my former employer.
Andrea F*
I recently contacted Phil Mitchell to discuss a confusing employment situation on recommendation from a friend.
Petra Anderson
Through Phil acting for me I felt I regained my self-respect; it was more important than the money. Because I’ve elected to stay working for my employer they have to respect me going forward.
Jim Moriarty
I was in a senior management role at a large Maori charitable trust when we had to deal with a major restructure and a personal grievance brought by one of the managers whose position was dis-established.
Greg Sandbrook
I recently required the services of an Employment Lawyer due to an unforeseen redundancy. After doing some research I decided to use Phil Mitchell.
Karen Albert
Thank you Phil – for the legal stuff but just as importantly for your understanding of the whanau / familial thing – separating it without dismissing their importance to me. Very cool.
Andrea Sarney
I was made redundant from my employer of 25 years. It was totally out of the blue. I’m a solo mum with an 11 year old child and a large mortgage. I was at breakdown point. The company offered me a redundancy payment, but I wasn’t too sure if this amount really represented 25 years of service to the company.
Cherry Turnbull
We recently worked with Phil after my husband, a senior executive in a major IT firm, was suddenly sidelined by the company. We had never been in this position before and were quite overcome with the enormity of what happened and the way it was done.
Ann Maxwell
It’s great to meet a lawyer that while very professional also has a heart and compassion for people going through very stressful situations. After meeting with Phil the stress seemed to instantly melt away.
Tim Coker (former) Central Regional Manager
I was a senior manager in a national company. I came to see Phil in early December after becoming the subject of a corporate employment investigation. Phil took over the correspondence between the company and myself which was a huge stress relief for me and my family.
Jay Pereira
I had a major issue with a diplomatic mission and was adamant on taking them on but not without some trepidation. The best decision I made in this whole episode was taking on Phil Mitchell as my lawyer.
DB Senior manager in a multi-national NZ company
From the moment I first met Phil I knew he was the right man for the job. Phil was instantly likeable but more importantly with his prior career I knew he would be tough.
JW Occupational Therapist
I am so grateful for Phil’s support in dealing with an employment issue. I was employed for five years by a health board. I had felt bullied by the employer and Phil was very understanding.
Crystal Laulu
Thank you so much Phil! You’re amazing and the thing that never changed was your word: you promised you would get results and look after me and you definitely delivered on that.
