Slater and Gordon Lawyers (Australia) Bewertungen 

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

Approaching Slater and Gordon with regards to my military compensation claim was the best thing I could have done.
I had received a settlement offer that left me feeling somewhat used and abused. I had worked through the claim process myself with support from an advocate. In hindsight, not my best move.
I contacted Brian Briggs at Slater and Gordon to get advice regarding that settlement offer and after a short conversation about my service history and current lifestyle and going through the offer with Brian it became very evident to me that I should have got legal representation in the first place.
As a military compensation specialist with vast experience in dealing with DVA claims, Brian was able to quickly identify shortfalls in the offer I had received and areas of potential liability I had not even considered.
At the completion of the process, Brian was able to get me a fairer and far more reasonable settlement I believe is justified and I feel happy with. I am now able to close the door on this part of my life and move ahead.
Brians Legal Assistants, Hilary Briggs and Tiiva Gampe were key to making my experience with Slater and Gordon seamless and easy. They kept me advised at every step of the claim process and actioned any requests for information I had in a timely manner.
Brian, Hilary and Tiiva are a very knowledgeable and experienced Military Compensation Legal Team that I highly recommend.

TAC claim. Unstable injuries not taken into consideration, failure to challenge a decision that was found to a Dr giving false evidence. Did not say they no longer represented me after settlement and tell TAC. Abused my health and after I complained told me to find another law firm

Shocking at class actions . Once they get their win and fees you have to wait indefinitely for the settlement. Where is the BT Super settlement being invested in the meantime? Who gets interest in the money? Still no end in sight coming up to one year of judgment. Having read all the complaints here about the treatment of class action clients, I’d say we have enough for a class action against S&G ourselves. Obviously will be handled by a professional firm not a sausage factory. We know just the judge who would like to pass judgment on it too.

Audrey and Rod where the most amazing thorough caring team I’ve ever met. If you ever need legal advice or have a work injury this law firm is the best. They get results for you and they don’t stop till they get the best. Highly recommend slater and Gordon

Highly recommended. Friendly, very professional, quick response times and always honest about process/outcomes.
Knew the system extremely well and was able to explain in simple terms.

I too am one of the clients of a class action who has emailed, online chatted and called to try to get a response from Slater and Gordon. They will happily pocket the fees for the work but will not update or provide any response to enquiry. This has been going on years (Freedom Foods). S&G will no doubt respond to this review by saying email us or phone this number. I've done it multiple times already. Their responses are just lip service. Fee for no service.

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the lack of response to my multiple enquiries about the WP CCI Class Action, dating back to February of this year.

Over the past six months, I have made more than ten attempts to contact your New Client Services and Feedback departments via email, submitted more than ten online enquiries through your website, and requested call-backs on more than ten occasions through your call centers. Additionally, I sent a registered letter to your Melbourne office, which, like all my other attempts, remains unanswered.

Despite these repeated efforts, I have received no response and no information regarding the compensation amount I am entitled to. This level of service is completely unacceptable.

I have submitted another request to be contacted via email to the New Client Services team via the website and via email today and expect to be contacted and am unsure why an organisation like Slater & Gordon displays such unacceptable behaviour. Whilst I understand that there is a backlog and high volumes of enquiries I don't accept this as a reason for not being contacted at all within the last six months.

I would absolutely recommend Audrey Gunn, Wendy Stanley
and all the staff at Slater and Gordon Lawyers Geelong. They have been so amazing throughout a very difficult time and made the whole process smooth and easy.

My overall experience with Slater and Gordon with regard to my DVA claims was a 5 year process but it was with it. For me it was a great deal less stressful than going down other assistance pathways.
