Slater and Gordon Lawyers (Australia) Recensioni 

The whole team have been amazing to deal with from lawyers, paralegals and accounts - no question was every silly and they were always more than happy to help.

Do not be misled by the star ratings of this law firm, especially if you are a survivor of child sexual abuse seeking justice.

If you already feel that achieving justice for what was done to you as a child is difficult, engaging Slater and Gordon may leave you feeling even more disappointed. In my experience, the firm made reassuring promises and emphasized their size and years of experience, giving the impression that everything would be handled professionally and with care. Unfortunately, my experience did not match those assurances.

It often felt as though serious claims were treated like minor matters, with the primary focus being on fees rather than on achieving the best possible outcome for the client. Communication was slow, progress appeared minimal, and when cases took longer than expected, it rarely felt as though meaningful work was being done on them. It took them 4 years when the average time is whithin 12 months. I repeatedly asked them to interview me properly and accept the 4 page statement of events that took place at the time and when I finally demanded that they do this prior to handing any documents to the schools lawyers they then told me that it was to late as they had done that 3 months prior so I was ambushed by them and the other lawyers at a settlement conference with a barrister with no business card who spent 2 hours trying to convince me that I had a weak case and that I should accept 125K down from 1.2M and out of the 125K they wanted 100K in fees. Is this the kind of representation that you want for such a serious case?
Legal services are expensive, but the fees charged often seemed disproportionate to the level of service provided. For people who are already dealing with significant trauma and vulnerability, this can add another layer of stress and frustration.

Survivors seeking legal representation deserve professionalism, compassion, transparency, and genuine effort. Sadly, that was not the experience I had. If you are considering legal action, I strongly recommend researching carefully and making sure the firm you choose demonstrates consistent care, communication, and commitment to your case.

For those who choose to proceed with this firm, I wish you the best of luck and hope your experience is better than mine.

The whole process of my claim was smooth and easy. What I assumed would be a long drawn out, stressful time dealing with a minefield of unfamiliar legal situations turned out to be a very simple, uncomplicated experience.
The team I dealt with at Slater and Gordon (Laurie, Angie and Rebecca) were considerate and understanding. They kept me constantly updated with the progress of my case and were very supportive.
I can confidently recommend the Slater and Gordon team to anyone for any legal issues and advice.

I engaged Slater and Gordon to represent me in my claim for compensation after I had been diagnosed with a terminal lung cancer. I was very impressed with Nicole and her teams professionalism and empathy in all my dealings with them . At no time did I feel pressured or intimidated and final decision on matters was of my choice

My experience with Slater and Gordon was deeply disappointing. If you are looking for dedicated legal representation where you feel like a valued client, I strongly advise you to look elsewhere.

The overwhelming impression I was left with is that you are simply a file they want to close with the least amount of effort for the maximum amount of money.

My case felt rushed, impersonal, and poorly managed. The focus was clearly on meeting the firm's efficiency targets rather than achieving the best possible outcome for me.

It is disheartening to think that a firm of this size operates this way. The lack of genuine care and commitment to my individual circumstances was appalling. In my opinion, the way they run their client files and operations should be thoroughly reviewed. I would caution anyone against using their services if you expect a solicitor to genuinely fight for your interests.

They are friendly, very professional, and respond quickly, always being honest about processes and outcomes. They knew the system extremely well and were able to explain everything in simple terms.

I have been dealing with Slater and Gordon Lawyers for over 5 years and found then absolutely amazing to deal with. Nothing is a hassle. Specialising in Veteran's issues makes miltary compensation lawyers Brian Briggs and Pia Annan-Anderson a cut above all others. Being so knowledgeable in the DVA system takes the stress out of claims and being so understanding to the unique needs of Veterans makes a massive difference to the often difficult processes. Hilary Briggs was also amazing and had the day to day conduct of my file and was essential to the outcome achieved.
The only law firm that i would recommend for Veteran's. 5 stars

My experience with Slater & Gordon was AMAZIMG. Laurie, Angie & Sheryl looked after me so well. I never had to worry about anything. I had a serious injury & they took all the pressure off me & handled everything for me. They communication was incredible. I was constantly updated & advised what stage my case was at. I absolutely highly recommend Slater & Gordon. They are a cut above the rest. I will never use any other firm. The professionalism & commnication was second to none. Honestly do not use any other firm. They are fantastic. Thankyou Lauirie, Angie & Sheryl for fighting hard for me & getting the result I wanted.

I cannot thank Slater and Gordon Lawyers enough for the incredible support and professionalism they provided throughout my military compensation claim. From day one, Pia Annan-Anderson and Hilary Briggs went above and beyond to guide me through every step of the process with genuine care, understanding, and expertise. Navigating a compensation claim can be overwhelming, but Pia and Hilary made it seamless and stress-free. They took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me informed at every stage, and always made me feel heard and supported. Their attention to detail, compassion, and commitment to achieving the best possible outcome truly set them apart. Thank you again for everything you have done for me!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️To lawyer Bryce Linehan-Cunningham and his assistant Tiffany Majic @ Geelong Branch. They demonstrated understanding, patience, and professionalism throughout the entire journey. A huge thank you to both for your dedication. Your hard work and support were exceptional. I truly appreciate everything you did and highly recommend your service. keep up the great work!

Slater and Gordon worked tirelessly to make sure all claims were completed correctly and kept me updated with all correspondence. I would use them again if required.

I've booked an online appointment earlier today with Jen Cron which 's scheduled for 30 minutes but unfortunately it hasn't exceeded 4 minutes!!
It's shame that the lawyer hasn't given a chance to ask for a legal advice after a medical panel appointment and all she's understood that I need a medical assist!! she was very quick and just want to end the call, hasn't given any time or chance to ask what I need to ask!! I'm wondering why you let people to book free phone appointment and you scheduled it for thirty minutes if the staff won't consider the people requests then? I do advise either to improve your services or just don't show it up.

We had a great experience dealing with Teegan Head from Slater and Gordon regarding Military Compensation. It was a difficult matter to navigate on our own. Teegan made the process so much easier with explaining the process, breaking it down in sections and assisting with timelines, how to address each issue and provide the right supporting documentation. She helped us achieve the best possible outcome and this wouldn't have otherwise been achieved with out her knowledge and expertise.

Laura and Anastasia mostly Laura as we had a lot of interactions with especially immediately after the accident, they were especially Laura so kind caring and supportive checking firstly on our wellbeing as people ,supporting communicating and helping us the whole way I can’t recommend Laura enough she’s a beautiful person outside of her job professional but also supportive and compassionate

Sean Sweeney and his staff were recommended to me by a friend. Within a day Sean was sitting at our dining table explaining our options for workplace disease compensation. Within two months Sean had taken the claim to a successful conclusion. The whole process was transparent with updates as required.

Navigating the complexities of a permanent impairment claim can feel like an insurmountable challenge, especially for a veteran like me. The process often involves significant legal and medical hurdles that are difficult to overcome without expert assistance. From my first interaction with Pia Annan-Anderson and her team at Slater Gordon Lawyers, I knew I was in the right hands. They're not just lawyers; they are military compensation lawyers with a specialized understanding of the unique issues faced by former service members.
​Unmatched Expertise and Compassionate Support
​What truly set Pia and her team apart was their combination of professional expertise and genuine empathy. They took the time to explain every step of the process in a clear, understandable way, transforming a daunting legal journey into a manageable one. Their meticulous approach to my case, from gathering the necessary medical documentation to preparing all the paperwork, was exceptional. I always felt fully supported and informed, which significantly reduced my stress and allowed me to focus on my health.
​A Result That Exceeded Expectations
​Thanks to the dedicated and expert guidance of Pia and her team, we achieved the best possible outcome for my claim. Their strategic handling of my case was instrumental in securing a result that I'm confident wouldn't have been possible on my own. I cannot recommend Pia Annan-Anderson and the team at Slater Gordon Lawyers highly enough. If you're a veteran seeking legal support, their specialized knowledge as military compensation lawyers makes them the best choice to advocate for you.

After being Medically Discharged from the Australian Defence Force (ADF) in Oct 2015, I initially was using an Advocate to assist me with various DVA Claims. I found it very difficult, as my assigned Advocate’s Caseload was so large, it was hard to book an appointment or get a response from an email. I was chatting with a former colleague, who recommended Slater & Gordon – Military Compensation Lawyers.

Transitioning to Slater & Gordon was a simple and smooth process and my case was assigned to Teegan Head and her team, some have moved on, others like Zac Frost have been assisting me for this period. Teegan’s team have assisted me with completing forms, seeing specialists and making sure I was getting the appropriate compensation.

Just over a year, we commenced a Full Claims Review with DVA. I was receiving regular updates and assistance from Zac and Monique Pinero. They would review my completed forms to ensure I wasn’t under reporting my conditions and they did a full review of my ADF Medical Records and identified other possible conditions too.

This month I received word from DVA, via Teegan and her team, that my claim review had been completed and not only was I going to receive some compensation, that I had been upgraded from a DVA White Card to a DVA Gold Card. I thank Teegan and her team for all their support and advice and if things get worse again, I know I just need to email the team, and we can restart the process again.

I highly recommend Slater & Gordon – Military Compensation Lawyers for any veteran or current serving member, who is looking to claim any condition through DVA. They make the at times, very convoluted claims process much easier.

I was represented by Teegan Head for my military compensation claims against DVA. Teegan is an outstanding person, a thorough professional, and a kind and empathetic human.

I thoroughly recommend Teegan and her team if you are a Veteran seeking DVA claims, her professionalism sets the benchmark for all in this field.

If you want the best representation, seek out Teegan Head, you will be in the best care.

Highly recommend Mark and Madeleine from slater and Gordon Melbourne.
In what was an extremely stressful 7.5 years for me the last 2 years having mark and madeleine take over my case made things so much easier, they both took the time to explain things and answer any questions I had, they made sure I understood what was happening at every step of the way, right until the very successful outcome at the end.
I can not be more grateful or recommend Mark Rawlings and Madeleine Mead enough.

Pia Annan-Anderson Was an exception Military Compensation lawyer

Very thorougher and worked to get me the best result.

Cannot recommend enough. Trust the process.
