Welcome to Mataio Legal
Kia Ora, my name is Marama Mataio, the founder and sole practitioner at Mataio Legal.
The business was established in 2018 primarily as a virtual law office. We meet with our clients predominantly via zoom. However, for those who have difficulty with this we will arrange a meeting at our Wellington based office.
We have become a trusted source of legal expertise for migrants and refugees seeking to live, work, visit and study in this beautiful land.
Mataio Legal was founded on the principle of compassionate care blended with specialist knowledge. As a practice , we’ve consistently achieved a high degree of success, particularly in tackling complex cases. We believe in fighting for those who dare to dream, seeking to create a fresh start in New Zealand.
Our high success rate in securing migrant status is a testament to our specialist knowledge and hard work. But we don't just aim for success - we aim for your satisfaction and trust. This is why so much of our customer base comes through word of mouth; our clients trust us enough to recommend us to their friends and loved ones.
