Recent Testimonials

Before working with Wentworth, I had no legal knowledge and believed that I had lost before I had even begun. Wentworth helped me understand the legal process and allowed me to feel confident about my situation. He advised me with knowledge to the smallest of details in order for me to have the ability to make my own informed decisions. I feel he has gone above and beyond to help me. I highly recommend him.

A massive thank you to Alastair and Wentworth from Shortlands Law Firm for a great job well done in regard to my case of unfair dismissal from my place of work. Alastair and Wentworth worked together as a great team on my case to make sure that the outcome of my case was dealt with very well and we didn’t need to go to court in the end.

Me and my mother had the help of Wentworth and we were very pleased with how helpful and great he was. Very much recommend!’
