After a serious work place accident, I needed a solicitor to help with all the paperwork and understanding the insurance company,s policy. There was many to choose from, all claiming to be experts. I had heard and seen many ads for Slater and Gordon, and a family member had highly
recommended them. My experience so far in this ongoing case, shows them to lack compassion and empathy. They do not call to give me any updates and the just send me impersonal letters of what appointments I have to attend. They seem to be really good at the legal side of things, Which I guess is the most important part. However they seem to be annoyed when I ring them up for advice or questions. They did not offer any advice to start with. At the beginning of my case I was on morphine for 2 weeks as I nearly died, so I was pretty much out of it. During a case conference with my lawyer which I instigated recently, he kept saying " I told you that before". Referring to when I was in RPH on morphine. Needless to say I felt very belittled with his attitude. If I could start over again I would have chosen a different lawyer. Too costly to change now. In summary. They are good in court but lack the personal touch. I hope this has helped the people reading this, decide who is the best to represent you in the future.
