Slater and Gordon Lawyers (Australia) Reviews 421

Thanks for helping me and it my first time meeting you, you are very nice person

My brother who is transgendered female to male (and incidentally asexual) complained about discrimination made against him on a government web site by a disgruntled employee. The Slater lawyer, a female who shall not be mentioned here, directly accused my brother of being a 'gay in a dress' and 'what's the problem?' This person had absolutely no education about trans and intersex people and her judgemental attitude caused my brother to consider suicide. These lawyers have no heart and I guess would seem to treat anybody different as a second class citizen. I assume they were not interested in the case as there was probably no money in it. Parasites and haters, stay away from these evil people if you have had any problems of discrimination for being LGBTIQ. Luckily he managed to get help elsewhere and the incorrect material on the website was taken down with profuse apologies from the  moderator. You won't get that with S&G. There is far too much hate and hurt against people who are simply trying to be themselves in a challenging narrow-minded society of which Slater & Gordon are no doubt part of and where T folk are sexualised as perverts. It has nothing to do with sexuality which shows how asinine you are. I hope things have improved with S&G since as this happened a little while ago and my brother only now has the courage to speak up about it. He told me just now how hurt and angry he still is about it all. If you get a discriminatory or ignorant attitude from your lawyer I advise you see Beyond Blue or similar as suicide is common amongst trans and intersex people. As for lawyers try Shine instead! Very welcoming no matter what you are or how much you have.

Joanne at Slater and Gordon did all the hard work for me and effectively communicated each step along the way. I was stunned with the results. A professional and thorough outcome. Thank you

Brian from The military compensation section and his staff (especially Hillary) are absolutely fantastic.

Very patient and will explain everything to you, the process, time lines and fees are all honestly and openly advised - no hidden clauses or fees… after dealing with DVA for 7 years, it was a relief to find Brian and have everything sorted and seen to by a professional who really knows his stuff! I felt the fee structure was extremely fair, and was very happy to have gotten the outcome Brian achieved for me. Highly recommend using Brian and Slater and Gordon!

Brian and his team were proactive in their approach to achieving the best possible outcome for me.
I would like to take this opportunity to personally mention and thank Emily Wilson as a stand out member of Brian’s team.

Jo Burns of Slater & Gordon was always very professional and courteous in her dealings with me. What Jo said actually occurred so I was very pleased with the outcome of my compensation claim with TAC.

Another local Lawyer was lobbying for my claim, on the basis of cheaper fees. However I realised very quickly that he was expecting me to do all the Admin work.

Jo Burns of Slater & Gordon took all that process away which assisted me in recuperating easier from my accident.

Many thanks Jo for your professional assistance.

Firstly Andrea has been a blessing, I went through a difficult time and she walked me through the steps and provided me with absolutely everything I required and needed to know. You made the most difficult time for myself so much easier and went in with 100% knowledge of the process and can't thank you enough.

Slater and Gordon at Southport were fantastic the ladies there worked tirelessly for my case. To Chloe McEwan and Amie and Susan Anderson and Stephanie Brown i cannot thankyou enough i will never forget you and i will miss you very much hope you enjoy the Ferrero Rocher chocolates and flowers as a thankyou for your services that are on there way. 10 stars

Brian and his team were incredible! Throughout the entire process they made it clear what was happening and what the next steps were, and at the end of it got an excellent result for me. I could not recommend them highly enough.

I would like to thank the team at Slater and Gordon, in particular Brian and Hilary Briggs for there service provided to me over the last 3 years. Brian is extremely knowledgeable of DVA's legislation, policies and procedures and was able to seamlessly guide me through the process for permanent impairment and ensure I received the best possible outcome in regards to my entitlements and compensation. Thank you

After having the misfortune of sustaining an injury in a car accident I was lucky enough to have Joanne Burns handle my claim and she was excellent from start to finish. She explained everything clearly to me, answered all my questions (and I asked a lot) and was always available. She made a very stressful time much easier by her professional attitude and extensive knowledge. I also found her assistant Mel to be very proactive and efficient. I would highly recommend Joanne to anyone facing a similar situation to mine.

Absoultly the best experience i could have there was never a issue and they were always there to help me through the entire case.

After our accident Slater and Gordon took on the case. We are very grateful for their legal assistance. They were empathetic and efficient when dealing with our case.
Sharon explained everything in an easy to understand manner.
They made a difficult time as easy as it could be.

Julia Cavka and Isabelle Micallef helped me with my Work cover claim which made a massive impact on my life. They supported me, guided me and mentored me through one of the toughest times of my life.
The outcome was tremendous and could not have asked for a more professional and helpful team.
Thank you for your help and guidance guys. I can now move forward with my life all thanks to you both.

Thank you again
Alex & Sarah

I’m really happy with how Joanne Burns handled my case I got the best possible outcome She kept in contact with me the whole way through
I highly recommend her and her team and if I ever end up in this situation again I would get in contact with her straight away

I was referred to Brian Briggs from Slater and Gordon by another military member when I was being medically discharged from the defence force. Coming to terms with my medical discharge and grieving the loss of my career and now permanent impairments was hard enough, without having to also navigate DVA post separation. Brian and Hilary from Slater and Gordon were truly amazing, they did all the hard work for me and with Brian's expert knowledge of the DVA space I never would have known about all my entitlements. Brian and Hilary were quick with their correspondence, knowledgeable with all things to do with military claims and above all genuinely cared for my situation and were determined to make sure I was well compensated for my injuries. If you are military and you are unfortunately looking at a medical discharge, you need Brian Briggs from Slater and Gordon, don't even think about trying to do it on your own, Brian will look after you. Words can not express how grateful I am to Brian and Hilary.

Brian Briggs is definitely the lawyer to go with, for military compensation; particularly for psychiatric injury related claims across bullying, harassment, victimisation and all forms of serious abuse. Every positive review you will ever come across regarding Brian will absolutely be true. Brian has a lot of patience when personally dealing with you during what is a terribly stressful and unknown experience; and you very much get the impression you are as important to Brian as anyone else is making claims with him.

I have been dealing with Katrina PEDERSEN from Slater and Gordon Toowoomba for a CTP claim. During this ordeal I can say that Katrina has been nothing but pleasant, professional, courteous, and very understanding of my matter and my needs. I always felt listened to, and all my concerns were addressed very promptly. All the staff at Slater and Gordon have exemplified the professional characteristics one would expect from these firms – Katrina has gone above and beyond to assist me with my matter. I would gladly recommend Katrina, she is down to earth, honest, realistic, and understanding. If I could give more than 5 stars, I certainly would.

They sat on my case for 12 months just to abandon it, being a victim of a violent accident, they even told me not to claim any insurance as they would do it for me, but they didn't, they just call me 12 months later and abandon my case, too hard they said. Don't be just a number and get a lawyer who cares.
