Hunter Lawyers Avis 

Great professionals who are going extra mile to help customers. Jeff was dealing with my case, highly recommended!

From the outset, the advice I was given was honest and to the point. Lucas initially gave me free advice which gave me full confidence in Hunter Lawyers approach to an employment issue. My belief in Hunter Lawyers was well founded as Jeff Kong took the case on and gave me faith in their strategy to get me through an incredibly stressful period in my life. Jeff helped me reach a successful agreement and with that in mind, I recommend Lucas and especially Jeff at Hunter Lawyers to people who expect high levels of standards and competence. I have given them 5 stars for the time they took from start to settlement - 4 weeks! Yes 4 weeks. Professional at all times, using their experience and knowledge to achieve an outcome I felt was justified. Their expertise helped to reduce my stress levels considerably due to the effective and efficient manner they dealt with things - superb. What more can I say!

Very helpful free advice given. Really appreciate the help. Thank you and best wishes

I recently used Hunter Lawyers to represent me in a case against my former employers.

I decided to use a professional company to represent me on the basis that I would pay more to get the job done as I was using better solicitors.

I had been given high expectations from the start leading right up to the ADR hearing. I had asked the Solicitor throughout the case what he thought of my case and he said it was strong. I had provided written evidence and also had a witness.

When we got to the ADR hearing it was a total disaster! The defence offered a very low amount to settle they said my DSAR request had cost them a lot of money and could only afford a low amount. My solicitor had told me to request the DSAR this has cost me money. Both sides couldn’t agree a settlement so the court official told both sides how he thought the case would go in a tribunal. The court official ONLY looked at the defence’s written statement to base his decision which I had previously spent time completely exposing with evidence.
The court official was basing his outcome on the wrong information. I was furious as he didn’t even look at mine. How can you make such an important decision without looking at both parties evidence?

Anyway my solicitor who was present at the ADR hearing knew my case inside out as he put the case together. At this point the court official should have been made aware from either the solicitor or the barrister that he is basing his decision on incorrect information.

For example the court official said the defence only made one none reasonable adjustment when in fact there were at least three so why didn’t the solicitor or barrister tell the court official this and tell him what they were after all the ADR is about negotiating and putting your strong case forward.

Instead I was left with a weak negotiating position and barely scraped my legal costs back.

How could this possibly happen I had a barrister and a solicitor the defence didn’t even have a solicitor.

I would have done a better job representing myself at least I would have challenged the court official and argued my case.

After the ADR I was completely broken.

My solicitor phoned me later on that day I was not happy. He started making excuses such as the court are getting through a backlog ect and making me feel like getting my money back was a good result.

With hindsight I regret using Hunter Lawyers and would not recommend them.

I would have got more money just handing in my notice.

This is a genuine account of my experience 9/11/22.

Update 31/7/23

Hunter lawyer’s comments to my review are incorrect my complaint is about the solicitor from Hunter Lawyers not doing his job probably and being unprofessional along with the barrister. The Law society will look at facts and evidence.

Excellent advice and support which resulted in the best outcome for an employment situation. Of five Employment Law specialist I approached and three I met Jeff Kong at Hunter Law was the most knowledgeable and suggested the most convincing strategy. I believed I had a good advocate negotiating on my behalf. Which proved to be correct. Highly recommended.

Can only recommend the company. Both,Jeff and Jessica were great to help me and my case,understanding and were really quick with everything. Thank you

Thank you to Jeff Kong, Hunter Lawyers.
Who helped me through a very difficult employment dispute.
With the best outcome.
He gave me the confidence to get through, with his expertise, knowledge and support.
You are very approachable and so easy to talk to . Thank you once again ..

Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Rebecca has been absolutely amazing through my very long court battle. She is so patient, professional and was always contactable. She managed to find me an amazing barrister Ms Cook who was also faultless and patient during a very stressful time. Luckily we have now reached the end if the battle and even after the final court we was still in touch and she guided me. Thank you so much Rebecca and team you've been amazing. I will definitely recommend

Rebecca handled my case with care and reassured me throughout explaining the process throughout. She was easily contactable and nothing was ever too much trouble

I had amazing service from Rebecca Shakespeare as a family solicitor. She work extremely hard throughout and to get me the result I wanted. Rebecca gave excellent and honest advice. And was very approachable and understanding in difficult & emotional situations. I think this is important when dealing with family matters. Everyone else I seen or spoke to that worked at Hunter lawyers were always willing to help. I highly recommend Rebecca Shakespeare and Hunter lawyers. Outstanding work.

I spoke to Rebecca regarding a very emotional and longwinded situation and she was amazing.
She was so patient and kind and helped me with the many questions I had and made me feel so calm about my current situation.
Absolutely brilliant

Can only say Thank you to Jeff and team, for not only helping me but sticking with me afterwards too, Jeff your help and assistance will never be forgotten, even in the dark times your knowledge brought light. Thank you so much

I would highly recommend Jeff Kong as an employment solicitor. He is very thorough, gives fair advice and keeps you updated throughout the process.

Jeff is also very approachable and pleasant to deal with, which is important as some of the topics are very sensitive.

A huge thank to Cordelia at Hunters who worked incredibly hard over the past few months coordinating the sale and purchase of two properties. Some areas were particularly trying, however, with Cordelia’s persistence, professionalism and diligence, we got there. I remain very grateful to her.

As a senior sales leader in IT, we are used to & have come to expect rapid communication, to leverage technology & efficient customer service. It's what our industry & our customers demand.
When I sought a lawyer to represent me in my case, I 'researched the market', as I would in any engagement of professional services.
Hunter Lawyers impressed me, immediately, from the their impressive website, to client & other reviews.
From my first meeting, with Jeff Kong, employment specialist lawyer, I was immediately impressed with his intellect, efficient, direct, communication style & professionalism. It was a breath of fresh air, compared with my previous experience with solicitors. My previous experience of employment solicitors has been adequate.
Naturally, it helps my enthusiasm that I was (very) successful in my case, however, I would offer my unqualified endorsement for Jeff & Hunter Lawyers irrespective of the outcome.
Moreover, Jeff's calm, diligent & professional guidance was invaluable to me, particularly in strengthening my resolve & determination that I was on the ‘right’ course, throughout the process.
First-class Lawyer, first-class firm.

The service I recieved from Jeff Kong ,who was dealing with a difficult employement issue was excellent.
Realistic advice,knowledgeable on employment issues and good at keeping me updated .
He dealt with the issue effectively and made the whole situation less stressful for me personally.
I would definately recommend him to anyone dealing with a difficult employment situation .

An excellent personable as well as professional legal service provided. Considered advice given and always explained in layman’s terms ensured that the process of the case and the payments required were clear and transparent.
Would highly recommend.

Just had a consultation only with Tim regarding my issue, and he was very open and transparent with my situation, without ever seeming pushy for me to seek their services or for time. Hopefully my situation would sort itself, however if not, I would have no qualms to recommending them or using their services.

Hunter lawyers were highly professional in all that they did offering clear advice on all levels. All documents were quick and precise and were easy to get hold of for any related questions.

Thank you Hunter Lawyers for excellent service in my recent Divorce case. I would like to thank Mr Jeff Kong for his professional and approachable manner in what was at times quite stressful time for myself. His expert advice and communication over the period of the Divorce was excellent. I would recommend Hunter Lawyers to any one in need of legal help. Thank you all at Hunter Lawyers.
