We all had one thing in common

I had no income so I was pretty stuck

Financial hardship as a result of serious injury is not only devastating to the individual but also their family. These people have managed to come out the other side and we’re honoured to have helped them on their journey.

We’ll get you the compensation you deserve.

Survivors of institutional abuse are all impacted in different ways, and self-harming, substance abuse, seeking risky situations, sexual risk, suicidal thinking, and actual suicide are not uncommon*. Many survivors find it difficult to sustain employment or relationships.

But your situation is unique, and the impact of abuse on your life needs to be considered carefully – your personal story should determine the amount of compensation you receive. We’ll take time to get to know you and your family personally, to understand all your issues and the impact they’ve had throughout your life. It’s through this thorough and personal approach that we’ll help you get all the compensation you’re entitled to and deserve.

Tina was warm, empathetic and very knowledgeable. She made me feel seen and heard and patiently explained and informed me of rights I didn’t even know I had. I’m very grateful.

So nice to have guidance from people that actually care! Gerald and Elektra went out of their way to help, and after a serious brain injury I really needed all the help I could get. So a massive thank you to them and a huge recommendation from me after a successful claim that I couldn’t have done on my own!

I would like to thank Law Partners for their utmost support throughout the entire claim process. I was very reluctant to see a solicitor for my workers compensation claim due to previous experiences with other Law Firms but with Law Partners I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Each and every staff member that I have corresponded to have been so kind, compassionate and empathetic towards me and provided their best support and assistance in making such a smooth transition. A special thanks to Layla Rae and Angy Basal for all their dedicated work they have put in during the entire process, without me spending a single cent out of my pocket.

I’m writing to express my heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for your highly professional and incredibly competent services.
The help, support and guidance I’ve had from Angy Basal has been second to none! Not only has my injury claim taken place whilst I had to move back overseas, but it was negotiated and mediated seamlessly though-out, even being in complete opposite time zones! Making the seemingly impossible, possible..I will forever be grateful for your determination and kindness, thank you so much Angy!

I was honored to work with Law Partners and to have met Ajla. She helped me with previous employment issues that were very stressful. She was very generous with her time and was always caring and compassionate. And she really strived to get us the end result we desired and had thought was near impossible. She and Law Partners renewed our faith in the Legal System and humanity in general. Thank you Ajla.

I have just successfully completed a workers compensation WPI with Law Partners. I cannot speak highly enough about the support, professionalism and efficiency of Nadene (lawyer) and Caroline (paralegal). Thank you both so much for helping to make a difficult process much more bearable.
