Slater and Gordon Lawyers (Australia) Avis 421

Had the pleasure of having Pia Annan-Anderson who specialises in military compensation, as well as her wonderful team, especially Tenille, for making this process so much less of a headache.

Friendly, professional, with weekly updates of what's happening and what needs doing from my end. Extremely efficient and dedicated to what they do. A palate cleanser in today's world it really.l is.

They have helped make a slow, drawn out process a lot smoother and bearable and for that my deepest thanks🙏

A positive outcome from my DVA claims would not have been possible, without the help of Pia Annan-Anderson (Military Compensation Lawyer) and her support team - shout outs to Tenille and Suppreet.

Pia is a dedicated professional in her field of military compensation, with a focus purely on delivering the best outcome for veterans.

With years of experience and in-depth knowledge of legislation, Pia and her team know how to navigate a system which is convoluted, time consuming and overwhelming.

Thanks for the support!

My experience with Slater and Gordon from the first point of contact was relaxed and supportive. I would not have been able to afford to take this matter further without a no win no fee option, but I also didnt feel like just another case to them, I truly felt they had my corner. The support and expertise provided to my case was first class, shout out to Alessandra for all her help. I cannot thank them or recommend them enough

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.

To warn you of the situation of abuse and human rights violations that are being investigated by the police about crime violations and actions of crime by lawyers who are abusing clients with disabilities who have been abused by criminals… especially when they continue to abuse vulnerable people… and when you make a complaint about the situation they abuse neglect and silence your actions… to the many share holders please be aware of the problem with the situation of abuse neglect caused by human rights violations by slater and Gordon and the
Commonwealth government… because investing with a law firm who silenced them you are just as bad as they are and your family … abusing and silenced people with disabilities who make complaints is the worst crime abuse

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.

Update on my last Review they Terminated my case after 3 yrs wrote a recent Review explaining it all after that they said sorry to hear about your experience. So, I did what they asked to report it guess what they did not even get back to me not even a sorry for their mishandling of my case, Trust me they would be sitting back saying oh well. But Karma is coming it's called justice. Best case scenario huge, massive fine or a debarring because in this case it will be well deserved such a failure to the creditable law firms that are out there this firm is not one of those, they will throw you under the bus Please don't let this white collar no goobers take on anything they have no idea how to run a bath let alone a law matter Avoid at all costs if I can turn people off making the biggest mistake in wanting to go to this circus then that will help a little .My ex-solicitor said to me I have to put on my thinking cap and think like a judge would OMG just so thankful you will never be that lady you cannot even be a good solicitor but will say one thing you are in the best place with this firm not sure what's worse you or the firm hard call to make on that . Would have to put on my thinking cap for that management is just as bad to . There was a news report about leaked emails internal issues. Honestly why even bother your such losers and so Embarrassing all round

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.
