William Tumai

Ko Taupiri me Patangata ooku Maunga. Ko Waikato me Wharekahika ooku Awa. Ko Tainui me Horouta ooku Waka. Ko Waikato me Ngati Porou ooku Iwi. Ko Ngati Naho raua ko Te Whanau a Tuwhakairiora ooku Hapu. Ko Maurea me Hinemaurea ooku Marae. Teenei e mihi atu ana ki a koutou katoa. Kia ora. I am William Tumai of (Waikato/Ngati Porou) and was born in Putaruru and raised in Wharehahika on the East Cape New Zealand. I attended Putaruru High School and St Peters Anglican School in Cambridge, then resumed schooling (after Putaruru High School) at Te Waha o Rerekohu in Te Araroa. I commenced law degree studies in the 1990’s at Victoria University of Wellington before transferring to the University of Waikato, Hamilton, graduating B.Soc.Sci (Hons) in Public Policy, Bachelor of Laws and more recently Masters in Social Science (Hons) in Political Science. Being a self professed straight shooter, I am unattached with no vices and approachable for legal advice and representation. I don’t offer advice through social media. All phone calls and voicemails are answered or returned, and both email, fax and in person queries. I accept both direct and Solicitor instructions to advise and represent and adopt a pro-active approach towards legal advice and representation in key legal areas. William Tumai Barrister (sole) was founded in January 2010. To this day I meet with most clients face-to-face and always prioritise a personal touch towards client matters. Ma te Atua tatou e tiaki e manaaki, i nga wa katoa. May god protect and bless us always.
