Feedback from our clients

I was nervous and stressed at the prospect of using a lawyer for my motor vehicle accident. From the moment I went to the Ballarat office , I felt so much more comfortable and at ease. I was shown kindness and always felt supported by Sue. I felt my story was listened to with compassion and empathy. Sue guided me through the process with a very high degree of professionalism. Sue always kept me updated on the progress of my claim. Courtney, Matt, Martin and Bianca also helped me with any questions or issues I needed to address. Nothing was too much trouble for them. This difficult time was made easier with Sue and her teams support. I was very happy with the outcome of my claim. I would highly recommend Sue and her team at Slater and Gordon , Ballarat office.

I was very apprehensive about seeing a solicitor after my accident. A friend suggested I see Sue Emery at Slater and Gordon. Sue and her entire team have been absolutely amazing to deal with from the initial interview right through to my settlement. I can not express how grateful I am for all of her efforts throughout this journey. If you need assistance after an accident look no further than Sue.

Very professional and very supportive team. Jess Philips was my primary solcitor and her knowledge, advise, kindness, and professionalism is second to none. Her support team including Tracy were amazing and together got me the best outcome possible. They always prepared me for various scenarios/outcomes, provided advise and most importantly did so with great compassion and support for both me and my family. They also briefed a top barrister (Stephen Jurica) to ensure the best result. Most importantly to me was not only the outcome but along the way if they said they would do something (make a call, check something, provide advice/feedback) it was always done as and when promised it would be done (if not before). I would suggest anyone who suffers any workplace injuries to get in touch with this amazing team as soon as possible. Added to this a lot of my matter was done during a time with lockdowns, covid outbreaks etc where this team still made everything run as smoothly as possible. 5 out of 5 stars. Top notch. Dont waste time going anywhere else.

I was so happy that I went to see Slater and Gordon about my workcare claim. A little unsure at first but Jess put me at easy. She guided me through the process which I really appreciated, and her patience was outstanding. As it took a number of years to finalise my claim. Kellie was helping me in the end, and I am most grateful for professional and caring help. Also, I must thank Ebony and all the other staff of Slater and Gordon who were involved in my successful claim too. I cannot speak highly enough of them all.Greg O'Donnell

I experienced two complex accidents and spent months in hospital. Slater and Gordon took care of everything for me. I cannot recommend them enough. I decided on Slater and Gordon simply because I was familiar with their name. I feel as though they took the absolute best care of me. They answered any questions I had quickly every time, they never made me feel like I was a nuisance, they made me feel as though they really cared about my wellbeing! They are thoughtful and polite. A shout out to Sue, Emelia and Steven, as well as Ebony, Jess and Abbey. Everyone was amazing to work with. I honestly cannot thank you all enough.
