Sandy Ward - highly recommended legal employment advocate

I had a truly positive experience working with Sandy Ward during a very challenging and stressful period, and I am so glad I contacted Work Law before resigning out of exhaustion. From our first conversation, Sandy was calm, compassionate and genuinely took the time to understand my situation.

She balanced empathy with professionalism, providing thoughtful, measured advice throughout the process. She made a difficult situation feel manageable and gave me confidence when I needed it most.

Sandy's communication was outstanding—clear, pragmatic and outcome focused. She combines genuine warmth with strong resolve and is clearly an exceptionally skilled & experienced advocate who is not going to be intimidated while negotiating! I felt I had someone firmly in my corner who was both compassionate and highly effective.

I would highly recommend Sandy to anyone needing an employment advocate, she combines exceptional expertise with kindness, integrity and genuine care for her clients. Thank you Sandy.

Sandy was amazing

Sandy was amazing! She was the calm amongst the storm I was going through. She provided me the support I wouldn't be able to get from anyone else. She explained everything in a way I could understand and validated my feelings, and never said I was overreacting. She listened and read my emails even when I needed to get the anxiety out from the situation. She was a life saver and was a god send in a very ugly time of work career. Talk about aroha and mana... this woman has it and really without her I wouldn't know what would have happened to me! She is worth her weight in gold!!

This service did not adequately review my case. They misrepresented the facts in my review and ignored my response to their work. I very strongly recommend against using ‘Work Law’ (corny name).

Hello Michtell. We have looked into your claim. On 2nd Feb 2026, after reviewing extensive documentation thoroughly, Hilary provided a case assessment, with clear reasons why she would not accept your case under a no-win, no-fee arrangement. Mitchell (you) thanked Hilary for "taking the time to read the documents" though you believed there were "several inaccuracies with the analysis". You did not state what the inaccuracies were, and did not contact Hilary again. Receiving this review over, 4 months later is surprising.

10/10 experience with WorkLaw

Rarely does one want/need a lawyer, but when circumstances required I obtain one, Hilary and the WorkLaw team took exceptionally good care of me, had my back all throughout, and ensured the best possible outcome. It was an educational-process to say the least, but I am glad I trusted Hilary and went with WorkLaw.

We were kept informed throughout the process which was professionally handled by Sandy.

Kind and professional

Since the beginning, Hilary was kind and professional with communications, always clear and happy to clarify any doubts. She guided me through the process explaining expectations and timelines with excellent skills for negotiation.
I am very grateful for her services and the outcome and really recommend her.

Thanks Theo

Theo was an excellent, kind and responsive advocate. I was being bullied by a powerful and vile local public figure. It mattered to me that my advocate shared my values. Theo had very sharp and quick answers to my questions in the first phone conversation, and helped me navigate the fine line between a satisfactory defense of my professional reputation and a moral victory. It isn't always possible to get both, but Theo had a good idea about where i stood each step of the way and helped me make sure that my outcome preserved my professional reputation while also sending a clear moral message to my employers, who would have just as soon thrown me under the nearest bus. They will think twice before they consider allowing a bully to run roughshod over their employees again.

Outstanding Support and Professionalism

I had an excellent experience with Sheryl. Communication was prompt, expectations were clear, and I always felt I understood the next steps. Sheryl was calm, respectful, and thorough, and I felt she genuinely cared about getting the best outcome for me. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing employment law support.

Would recommend Adam in a heartbeat.

From the moment I picked up the phone to Adam, he gave me the confidence I needed to get through this hideously stressful time. He guided me every step of the way and that is exactly what you need. What I appreciated most is Adam understanding how stressful this was to me and never questioning that. He provided clarity around every step. Would recommend Adam in a heartbeat.

Sheryl

Sheryl was an exceptional and incredibly supportive advocate during a very difficult time at work. Her clear communication, attention to detail, and calm, steady demeanour made an overwhelming situation feel manageable and gave me real peace of mind. I would wholeheartedly recommend Sheryl to anyone needing support with workplace issues. She is knowledgeable, compassionate, and a true lioness when it comes to standing up for those she represents.
