Slater and Gordon Lawyers (Australia) Reviews 

Anyone looking for a Military compensation lawyer I can't recommend Slater & Gordon enough, in particular, Brian Briggs. His knowledge and understanding on DVA and their system/protocols is extremely re-assuring and so very helpful. Every time I felt overwhelmed or unsure about something, I could always ring and speak to Brian - and if he didn't answer, he would call me back almost instantly. Same goes with Hilary Briggs who also helped guide me on this journey in which I received the best possible outcome I could hope for. I struggled originally with finding good health care professionals who understood the struggles and stresses that you deal with when going through the DVA process and Brian and Hilary steered me in the right directions which made a massive positive impact on not only my health but also with my claims as they understood the processes - this made dealing with this whole process much easier. Brian was also upfront about fees and costs which were very reasonable in the scheme of things because if it wasn't for him and Hilary, I wouldn't have gotten the outcome I got. All in all, well worth the money and couldn't recommend them enough.

Ato Careh AKA (M A Haji-Mohamed)- Slater and Gordon Lawyers at werribee office have looked after my TAC claim involving car accident which happened on 18/09/2018. Slater and Gordon lawyers have delivered every time and has discussed with me in detail what to expect, how the process works and what is the likely outcome. IME Doctors were organised, QC chosen was top of the range and was no BS man straight to the point, and delivered everything discussed including getting TAC admit serious injury without going to court and settling my common law case on the first informal negotiation. by Explaining expectation and what the LAW says in my case and also me managing expectation and coming in to reasonable conclusion. Special thanks to my Lawyer Andrea Kehoe, her assistants, Chelsea Paterson & Cathy Tran. I cant thank you enough and will recommend you to any one any day much appreciated.

I had no clue about how the TAC claim work.Never even thought of it.It was hard time last 3 years due to injury and covid.
I had lost hope of any claims..
Thanks to Slater and Gordon and specially to Andrea who gave me the hope and to give a second try.
I am very thankful for getting the positive result for the TAC claim which I didn't have any clue.
You are definitely the best lawyers and I would definitely recommend anyone who need assistance.
My sincere thanks.

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.
