Tuala Mesepa Tapuitea Lafaialii-Petaia is listed as a legal-practice reference in Apia. The Samoa Law Society's council-approved list dated March 13, 2026 records Tuala Mesepa Tapuitea Lafaialii-Petaia with PLI Lawyers as associate and identifies the annual practising certificate as restricted.

That dated register entry establishes the published professional status and affiliation, but it does not promise later renewal, availability, expertise, or results.
