Port Hills Law is a boutique law firm on Colombo Street in Cashmere, Christchurch, that also serves clients across the wider South Island and runs a branch in Nelson under the name Senior Law. Its main work is residential and commercial property, leases, trusts, wills, powers of attorney, relationship property, estate planning and estate administration, with elder law and civil litigation alongside. Kristy Rusher, who has over twenty years' experience and has practised across the South Island, is named on the firm's website. Clients can book a 15-minute appointment through the site.
Reviews are mixed. One client says the home buying and selling process was handled well, with clear communication throughout. Another has used the firm for thirty years. One recent reviewer, though, says a matter made little visible progress over three months and that phone calls were not returned, and would not recommend the firm. Two other law firms are listed within a kilometre of this one, Aspiring Law Cashmere and a Port Hills Mechanical listing, and neither has a rating on Open Locally, so this firm's reviews are the main guide on the local side of the Port Hills. Our pick in Cashmere for a long-running property or estate matter, where the client has stayed with the firm for years.
