What recent reviews say

Clients with strong outcomes praise Slater and Gordon staff by name, especially for workers compensation and personal injury cases handled with genuine care. However, many reviewers report slow progress, weeks without contact, and difficulty reaching the office. Class action participants feel under-informed and poorly served despite large settlements. The firm appears inconsistent: some clients get fierce advocacy and rapid resolution, others experience neglect and internal handovers that stall cases.

Praised for
  • compassionate and empathetic staff
  • thorough case preparation
  • good communication when engaged
  • strong advocacy and results for workers compensation
  • named lawyers deliver results
Watch-outs
  • long delays and poor follow-up
  • minimal communication on class actions
  • staff turnover and case handovers
  • difficulty reaching office by phone
  • selective about which cases they take
responsive-communicationpoor-communicationknowledgeableprofessionalempatheticslow-progressattentivedismissivethorough-preparationpoor-follow-uptrustworthyaggressive-advocacy
Best for: Workers compensation claims and personal injury cases where you can identify a responsive caseworker.
Think twice if: Class action participants, clients who need frequent updates, or cases where the firm initially declines to take action.

Strengths

  • Named specialists with strong track records (Tricia Wong, Daniel Stojanoski, Aveen Akrawy)
  • Fast resolution on suitable workers compensation cases
  • Compassionate, human-centred approach praised by satisfied clients
  • Long operating history since 2009

Worth knowing

  • Specialists named: Tricia Wong (medical negligence, asbestos claims), Daniel Stojanoski (workers compensation), Aveen Akrawy (workers compensation), Andrea McNamara (employment law). One workers compensation case took 16 months but resulted in full win. Class action review noted $15,000 collected but only a small fraction returned to participants. Phone hold times reported at 8 minutes before message option appears.
  • Workers compensation claims feature prominently in reviews; medical negligence and class actions also mentioned.
  • Case handovers common (Oliver handover to Daniel mentioned), sometimes causing delays.

Reviewers consistently report being heard and supported through serious criminal matters. Multiple clients credit individual lawyers-Tabitha Raphael, Deearnah, Stuart, and Mark-with dismantling charges, eliminating mandatory sentences, or achieving outcomes that exceeded expectations. Communication is direct and honest from start to finish, fees are disclosed upfront, and the team follows through on what they promise. Staff treat clients with genuine care during stressful proceedings, explain the legal process clearly at each stage, and remain available to answer questions. Several clients mention fixed-fee arrangements, prompt email and phone responses, and willingness to go beyond the original scope. Outcomes cited include cases dismissed entirely, charges substituted for lesser ones, and matters discontinued with costs refunded.

Clients consistently experience first-class representation backed by meticulous case preparation and genuine concern for their welfare. Named lawyers Chris Sheehy and Katherine Dowling earn particular praise for courtroom skill, attention to detail, and the ability to turn serious charges to acquittals or dismissals; reception staff (Angela, Ange) also noted for warmth and clarity. Staff communicate clearly at every stage, making anxious clients feel supported and understood. The firm secures strong outcomes: acquittals on all counts, charges dropped, cost awards negotiated. Affordability is mentioned alongside professionalism; switching firms mid-case has proven worthwhile for clients seeking more rigorous representation.
