Head of Litigation
Our cooperation with the lawyers Lepmets & Nõges has lasted for years and has been very successful so far. In our opinion, they offer the best quality and fastest service on the market at an extremely good price. Highly recommended!
Chairman of the Supervisory Board
I have used their legal advice and assistance on several occasions. Most recently, attorney-at-law Tauri Tigasson positively surprised me with his proactive approach, precise, and determined counseling, even pushing me to act more efficiently. It exceeded my unspoken expectations. Working with them has been a true pleasure.
Very high level, broad-minded, and reliable partner in legal matters. The sense of security is the most important thing I expect from legal assistance as a client, and this is the experience that the law firm Lepmets & Nõges always provides. Legal assistance should be like this – thank you for always being there!
I recently worked with the law firm Lepmets & Nõges, and their professionalism exceeded all expectations. Their lawyers are highly knowledgeable and skilled, offering clear advice and support at every step. I was impressed by how dedicated they were to the client's needs, always keeping me informed and answering all my questions. Excellent service and genuine care for the client make them a top-tier law firm. I highly recommend them!
My family and I are sincerely grateful to the Lepmets and Nõges bureau, whom we found through recommendations from acquaintances. A long and exhausting process had reached a dead end, but thanks to their professional assistance, expertise, resourcefulness, and, more importantly, understanding of the situation and humane attitude, we can now continue with our normal lives.
There is a saying: “promise only what you can deliver. Then deliver more than you promise”. Lepmets & Nõges has always delivered more in our business relationship. Their knowledge, professionalism and talent is what I value most about them. I can honestly say I have always been 100% satisfied with their work.
The solutions have always met and even exceeded our expectations. Pleasant attitude, friendliness and professionalism at each stage of the process. A reliable and necessary partner in all legal issues and litigations!
