ABOUT US

 

Forgeson Law is a general law practice. Our main office is in Te Kuiti and we have an outreach office in Otorohanga. Clients in the Waikato area can also be met by appointment. Our firm focuses on being practical, cost effective and efficient.

Forgeson Law has a long record of success and has been operating in the King Country region since the 1920’s. The name of the firm has changed during various eras of partnership over the years but the first class service to clients has remained the same since the beginning.
