I am a Senior Practice Leader in Slater and Gordon’s Asbestos and Dust Diseases team in Western Australia. I was admitted to practice in 2001 and have specialised in asbestos and dust disease law for over two decades. I have represented hundreds of people diagnosed with mesothelioma, asbestosis, lung cancer, silicosis and other dust related conditions, including stonemasons working with engineered stone and other workers exposed to silica dust.

My practice focuses on complex asbestos and dust disease litigation, including multi defendant and cross jurisdictional matters. My work covers both common law damages claims and statutory entitlements, and I work closely with medical and liability experts to build strong, evidence based cases. I regularly assist Western Australian clients whose claims involve exposure or defendants in other states, and I have experience supporting clients with claims in the United Kingdom.

I understand that contacting a lawyer can feel daunting, especially when someone is dealing with a serious or life limiting illness. My approach is to listen carefully, explain options in clear and practical terms, and progress claims as efficiently as possible while keeping clients informed at every stage. I am committed to making the process as straightforward and low stress as it can be for clients and their families, while pursuing the best possible outcome on their behalf.

Feedback from our clients

Tricia Wong, Shelby and the rest of the team work very efficiently, they are very thorough and professional. They are able to get results, yet show compassion and empathy within a very black and white environment. I really appreciate their efforts.

I want to thank the Slater and Gordon team for the assistance and guidance they provided to our family with a compensation claim we have recently completed and to make special mention of Tricia and Shelby who expertly guided us through every step of the process along the way. They both showed absolute professionalism, compassion and empathy in the case we had and I would have no hesitation in recommending their services to anyone who asks me. Saying a simple thank you seems somewhat inadequate but please know our family is truly grateful for the help provided when it was required.

Since my first interview with Trisha Wong I have been treated with kindness and respect . Her professional and confident manner gave me great confidence that she would handle my claim against asbestos related companies with a great knowledge of the subject matter and would get me the best result possible in this regard. Trisha's assistant Shelby Garofano proved invaluable in sending and receiving important information to Trisha and myself making the whole process easier for me to understand. Shelby has also treated me in a friendly respectful manner at all times. I would have no hesitation in recommending these two wonderful ladies to anybody I spoke to in relation to my claim. I find Slater and Gordon lawyers to be very reputable and professional and am so happy that I chose them to represent me and ended up with a very successful claim.

Recently my husband was diagnosed with a terminal condition which needed a Lawyer involved this was Slater and Gordon. From the time we were introduced to Tricia Wong we felt confident and extremely comfortable with her professional and caring manner. During the course of our claim we received constant feedback from Tricia & Jo letting us know exactly what was happening. We had a great result and would not hesitate to recommend them to any others

A very big thank you to Tricia Wong, Shelby and the team for your much appreciated help and guidance through our recent litigation process. These were uncharted and somewhat daunting waters for us, and you piloted us safely through them with professional expertise, patience and consideration to a satisfying conclusion Thanks for the many prompt phone conversations and clarifications, added to which was a real sense of personal interest and touch, which was much appreciated, as the legal technicalities can seem a bit stark to the layman. It was a pleasure to meet you and feel the warmth and confidence you exude. Wishing you every blessing and success in every way. We feel we would have no hesitation in acquiring your help again if needed. Kind regards. Jim & Beth Dixon
