Neil Andrews’ persistence, communication and ongoing interaction with clients is the strongest part of his make up as a lawyer as well as the very reason he was attracted to this area of the law. “What I enjoy most in legal practice is the interaction with the clients. I cannot restore their physical health, but I can help restore their financial health.”
Typically acting for the plaintiff in injury cases Neil handles matters such as industrial and road accidents with experience in medical negligence, public liability claims and also having dealt with general and commercial litigation.
With over 26 years experience in practising law, Neil made the move to Slater & Gordon in 2008 after the merger with Secombs Solicitors, a highly respected outfit in the western region of Melbourne.
