Most of our clients have suffered a sudden injury, so what they don’t need from their legal representative is more nasty surprises. This is why I’m always upfront and honest with all my clients, so they know exactly what to expect during the compensation process.

I’m a big believer in variety being the key to bringing out the best in yourself as a professional. This philosophy was the reason behind me choosing to specialise in personal injury law after being admitted as a Solicitor. There are so many different facets to personal injury and I felt as though my career would never be boring, as no one day is ever the same as the last. Three decades later, and I can confirm that I still haven’t had a day that can be considered boring or repetitive.

I have extensive experience in running complicated matters in court and, where appropriate, will not hesitate to fight hard with an insurer to get the best result for my client. I’m also very well aware that a court hearing is not a path all clients wish to take, and I will exhaust all settlement opportunities to ensure that I obtain the maximum compensation available for them.

Career highlight:

Successfully acting for the family of the only person in Australia killed by the defective Takata airbags.

In my own time:

I enjoy anything involving water, especially paddle boarding. I also really enjoy tennis – playing and watching it.

Hear from Michele's client.

Michele was my guardian angel.

Halina never expected to be in a position where she needed to pursue compensation. However, the moment she linked with Special Counsel Michele, all her worries seemed to drift away as Michele went on deliver an unforgettable result.
