Slater and Gordon Lawyers (Australia) Opiniones 421

Slater and Gordon sent an email to all Comcare claimants' today from Comcare @slatergordon com au which is a clear indication that you should not engage or trust Slater and Gordon for any matter specific to compensation. These guys are well and truly in bed with Comcare and they do not care about your insignificant claim. It is not a healthy thing when a law firm declares that a lot of cash from a reckless unlawful institution such as Comcare outweighs the your rights and entitlements. Be careful and do not trust Slater and Gordon.

The staff were easy to deal with & very compassionate. They have always treated us with respect and answered any questions we had. Special mention to Brieanna, Raelene & Amy. Brieanna was our best support & we thank her immensely.

I found Brian and his extended team of Hilary, Tegan and Tiiva easy to work with. They explained every step of the process and assisted me beyond the simple processing of my claims. Brian was transparent from the outset about how the process would work along with all associated costs which allowed me to make an informed and educated decision about how best to proceed with my claims. Hilary and Tiiva were outstanding in their correspondence and providing assistance in compiling documentation and explaining the entire PI process. I ultimately ended up with 92 points for which I am extremely grateful for. While I would much rather have a fully functioning body I am glad that after 25 years service that I will be looked after moving.

The utmost respect, care, kindness, compassion and professionalism from Both Laura and Jo from the Frankston Office.
Going into this situation I was very, nervous, unaware, unsure and pretty much scared!
From the very first interaction both with Laura and Jo, I was made to feel at ease, comfortable, confident, reassured and most of all safe.

Every phone call, email, text, zoom or meeting in person was a positive and pleasant experience with them both.
Being able to communicate effectively with the best possible outcome on every aspect of my journey with them has been an important factor in my future and I can’t thank or speak highly enough of either of them.
Extremely efficient and very supportive throughout, both going above and beyond every step of the way.

Thank you both for all your support, time and work you put in with and for me. You have helped me to ensure I have a better future.

If you’re looking for an excellent team to represent and work with you, please get in touch with Laura and Jo out of the Frankston office, you will be in great hands!

I am trying to access a date when Slater and Gordon will transfer funds owing to ex BT clients I’m eligible and been waiting a year now. Slater and Gordon have paid themselves millions in the meantime.
The website provides a lot about themselves but no date for payment DUE in 2024. It takes 3 minutes to work through the phone options only to be told to leave a message which is ignored and not responded to. I spoke with reception who could not help and had no initiative to do so! Given it’s impossible to speak with a human in s & g I resorted to Trustpilot to make contact
This was the s & g response (apparently they are sorry and care - more lies)
Needless to say if you ring the number recommended 1800 812 957 GUESS WHAT …. leave a message …. again …. not responded to again
PLEASE GIVE ME MONEY DUE SO I DONT HAVE TO WASTE ANY MORE TIME WITH YOUR INEPT ORGANIZATION
THANK YOU

Slater & Gordon are the only law firm of which I'm aware, that has a specific team to deal with injury compensation claims by ADF members. Consequently, I chose them to act as my advocates for my claims for injuries over my 42 years in the Australian Army Infantry Corps. The DVA review resulted in the acceptance of my permanent injuries, due compensation and a Gold card for future treatments.
The 'team' comprising team leader and special counsel Brian Briggs, lawyer Pia Annan-Anderson & her senior legal assistant Tenille Howden combined to give their absolute best advocacy resulting in a fair and equitable result in my favour. At every point I was notified of the progress of my claim & any of my anxiety issues with DVA were quickly resolved, & for that,I am indebted to the team forever.
To sumarise, their level of professionalism & loyalty to me, reminded me of the famous maxim,"nothing succeeds like excess".
That's how these fine folk
represent Slater & Gordon.

Big thank you to Brian, Hilary and Tiiva from the military compensation team in Brisbane.

I Had a great outcome with my DVA claims that would have never had occurred without them. I went from being told I could only maybe claim 3 conditions to having 12 claims accepted. Their knowledge of the process and evidence requirements is sound.

I have received the maximum compensation which is life changing. They are worth every cent. I would not have been anywhere near this outcome had I not just made contact early last year.

The team were very responsive, easy to talk too and really care about your outcome.

Wow...Just Wow.
I couldn't recommend the team at Slater and Gordon in Brisbane highly enough. Brian Briggs handled my military compensation claim from start to finish and made which was a complicated and drawn out process an absolute breeze.
I got the best possible result a veteran could ask for, truly lifechanging. Highly recommended them to anyone else going through the same thing. Totally worth it.

Also a special mention for Hilary Briggs who handled alot of my day to day stuff, who knows how many emails and phone calls setting my mind at ease through the whole process. Superstar.

Thanks again to the whole team there.

Honestly, I cannot thank Slater & Gordon enough. I am a veteran who was looking to face a very complex and convoluted process of filing numerous claims through DVA for service-related issues. From my initial contact, through to the final claim, I was treated with respect and dignity. I want to particularly thank Mr Brian Briggs, but also a very heart-felt thank you to my lawyer, Teegan Head and her team in Zac Frost and Francesca Jones who did so much hard work to get me through the claims and compensation process. The entire team at Slater & Gordon have shown themselves to be honest, reliable, hard-working and absolutely pro-veteran. I have no hesitations in recommending Slater & Gordon to each and every person who is looking to make a compensation claim through DVA. Well done team and again, thank you.

This company was brilliant, and treated us as a human being, and with such care.

I had a very pleasant experience with Pia and Tenille at Slater and Gordon Lawyers. Prior to engaging with them, it had been a difficult experience with my DVA claims, however, Pia and her team took care of me and ensured the best possible outcome. Considering the work and the time they put in for me, the fees were very reasonable, and I most definitely recommend using these guys for any veterans DVA journey.

The help I received was exceptional
Everything was explained to me to the final letter
No rock was left unturned to get the best outcome for me
I would highly recommend Slater & Gordon to anyone

Working with Pia and the team at Slater & Gordon transformed an incredibly complex process into a manageable one. Navigating DVA claims alone as a defence member was overwhelming—many of my claims were initially rejected or denied funding. However, Pia and her team immediately agreed to investigate each of them. When urgent communication between DVA and the lawyers was needed for approvals on sleep studies, scans, or X-rays, they ensured it happened quickly. Without their support, I would have faced significant out-of-pocket expenses and potentially missed crucial medical investigations. Slater & Gordon’s dedication not only improved the outcome of my claim but also gave me access to medical care that has genuinely increased my quality of life.

Navigating Department of Veterans Affairs and the injury claims process was too overwhelming for me. I didn't know where to start, who to speak to or which forms to fill out. The entire thought of doing it on my own was too much to the point I wasn't going to do it all. I contacted Slater and Gordon after seeing their no win no fee policy and figured it was better than nothing, and I had nothing to lose! They charge a flat fee rather than taking a percentage of your total compensation which in my case worked better for me. The whole process took about 18-24 months which is fault of DVA, not Slater and Gordon, but I wasn't worried, stressed or overwhelmed at all. They told me when I needed to go to the Dr's and which forms to take, which options would result in fair compensation and guided me through the whole process. I recommend using Slater and Gordon to act on your behalf if you are considering a claim.

Easy & convenient with interviews etc.
Extremely helpful & information provided that was necessary.

I am forever grateful for having Pia and her team on my side. I was supported, protected and helped with advocating for all my injuries and ailments. I found Slater and Gordon Lawyers when I was overwhelmed and transitioning from Defence. My trust had been abused from my previous VSO delegates, and veteran advocates in the civilian world, where I was again another number. A friend recommended Slator and Gordon to help with the Permanent Impairment process and Initial Liability claims. Without my specific lawyer’s expert knowledge and understanding of the process I would not have received the result I did. It is life-changing. I am still in awe.
The team I was directly involved with were professional, approachable, down to earth and they actually understand the military world. I had clarity and transparency throughout the entire process, fast responses to all email correspondence and phone calls.
There are plenty of Advocates out there now but no one is as proficient and capable as this Military Compensation team. To the leader of the team who looked after me - Thank You!! You and your team have forever changed my life. For the better.

My opinion is based on personal experience. Nothing here is defamatory. In Australia, cannot defame a company with 12+ employees unless identify a person. Unless you've lost at least ½ a limb or more, get 2-3 other firm's advice before shopping here! Barrister the day before the conference 'You can't sue for standing injury". I was not advised that 2 years ago?! I only received a small payout and then said 'they're not representing me anymore - Find another lawyer' and informed Workcover of this. Rarely returned calls. Scheduled video conference then cancel 2 hours before it, was not re-scheduled. I couldn't claim $18,000 medical bills from the other party, I pay that!! No-Win No Fee means law firms can charge higher rates than pay as you go... Workcover injury industry is a legalised ponzi scheme in my opinion: Because legal, IME's and medicos make the money, I got what was left over. I am worse off medically now than when Initially injured.

Great communication, Great end result, highly recommend to anyone wanting to make a claim for higher compensation on their accident .

With the most prompt and professional representation, my partner and I have received life changing results through working with Pia and her firm in regard to my military compensation matters. Every process was simplified and explained thoroughly, giving us every confidence when moving through the stages of our claims. Words do not suffice how thankful we are to have had such experienced support throughout this process, we highly recommend Slater & Gordon for your military compensation matters.

I was part of civil suite against bank CWB and we won but i have not seen a dime of money from slater and Gorden and its been 1year or more and they never return my call and its always answer service they are not good at all and beware these people they out for themselves and this truth
