Your Local Lawyers

As the name implies Agricultural and Animal law covers everything and anything to do with animals. This can include

• animal welfare,
• defending charges of animal cruelty or
• your rights when animals have been impounded.

We can help and advise on any of these things. This type of law can also cover

• dog attacks,
• classification of a dog as dangerous or menacing, under the Dog Control Act
• appeals
• your rights when livestock strays onto a neighbour's property or a public road or is impounded

In his role as a former Upper Hutt City Councilor, John Gwiilliam has had extensive hands-on experience in dealing with animal and dog complaints.
