Whether it’s obtaining my clients’ instructions, completing various forms, gathering evidence or dealing and negotiating with insurance companies, I’m always equally meticulous in my work. I patiently give every client my undivided attention to ensure that nothing is missed and that my clients receive maximum payout of their entitlements.

Michele and Angy took the time to gain a very thorough understanding of my personal circumstances as a mother of a child with special needs, and how my injuries impacted our life. I was provided with realistic timelines and settlement figures and supported through the entire process (even after settlement). I was always able to get Michele or Angy on the phone in a timely manner to discuss my matter (Angy went above and beyond to keep me updated and eliminate stress).
I was initially represented by another firm that presented me with unrealistic expectations, did not return calls on time, and had no understanding of my personal circumstances. The best decision I made was switching firms to Law Partners and choosing Michele Cheong and Angy Basal to represent me. My claim was handled with compassion and professionalism from start to finish.
I would highly recommend Michele Cheong and Angy Basal to anybody looking for a lawyer that treats you as a human being and not just a number.

I would like to give a huge sincere thank you to Chantille and her team who helped me with probably the most difficult period of my life, Chantille was caring, honest, thoughtful, understanding and listened to me without judgment and importantly was supportive, I was updated every step of the way and informed of all the proceedings, time frames and possible outcomes.
Chantille was professional and made me feel comfortable at all times, she is caring and worked diligently with me to achieve the best possible outcome, I couldn't be more pleased with the result.
Every person I came in contact with was genuine and eager to assist in every way possible from the receptionists all the way up, absolutely wonderful people.
Thank you all for being there in my time of need and thank for laughing at my jokes bless you all.

Bill Cortese at Law partners is a total gentleman. He went above and beyond to achieve an outcome I was not expecting from a car accident. His knowledge, advice and support through some challenging times made me feel at ease.
I highly recommend Bill to anyone who needs legal assistant, look no further than this man. Thank you Law partners.

Genuine people who are motivated to help others. I have gotten to know many of the staff really well over the last few years and I can honestly say that they are all amazingly beautiful people with their clients best interests at heart. You will not be a number here, but a person with a story that they want to learn and to support you every step of the way.

(My apologies if I spell any of the names wrong) - Spoke to a really nice lady named Andrea who was so helpful- she originally booked me in to speak to Chantille who was in mediation at the time. I needed to speak to someone asap and within moments I was referred on to another very helpful lady named Tina who was very understanding and knowledgeable (she gave me her time and listened attentively which was very kind). My case unfortunately had to be handled in WA so I wasn't able to proceed. Chantille followed up with me very promptly and offered me advice etc out of her own time. Thank you all. Would definitely recommend.

I phoned this law firm on spec from a regional location seeking advice concerning a complication in my WorkCover matter because I couldn't make contact with my own solicitor.
The lady who accepted my phone call was vey polite, had a lovely manner and had no difficulty understanding the details of my enquiry.
I was then transferred straightaway to a solicitor who was also able to grasp and understand what I was conveying to him even though it was quite complicated. He not only answered my question, but gave me the reasons why and then offered me additional information and advice about my matter.
It was very reassuring to have this support when navigating the world of 'workers comp'. Thank you!

At the top of the list of my most unpleasant, unprofessional experiences. Dario is quiet possibly the rudest, most ignorant person I have ever had the displeasure of dealing with. His communication style was peppered with arrogance & self-importance - definitely an angry man with some sort of giant chip on his shoulder! Very unfortunate as I'm sure all of the other staff are just lovely.

Contacted Law Partners because of a motorbike accident i had. They were really friendly and professional, had the initial consult and the person gave a plenty of information regarding what i could expect and how they may handle my case.
The solicitor who took my case was very nice, call me with updates and any changes that were happening, she also went through thoses updates and answered any questions i had.
In the end it was a great outcome and would highly recommend them to anyone.

I called Law Partners and spoke to one of their Lawyers regarding an injury my Father was involved in to seek professional advice on his rights. They were very helpful and informative providing advice well beyond what i had expected at no cost. I was very impressed with the service which is why i'm posting this review.
