Can’t thank Liam Currie enough for his incredible service and support. He was attentive, compassionate and had my back throughout what was a difficult period. He took the time to listen, gave expert advice, and was always two steps ahead. I never felt like just another client — he genuinely had my back the whole way and that meant a lot.
Also a big thanks to Peter Gordon for being across everything behind the scenes. This gave me a lot of confidence and trust throughout the process.
Really grateful to have had them in my corner.
Highly recommend Gordon Legal!
Thank you for getting my TPD! I had just assumed I wasn't eligible but that was until I spoke with Lory(Loredana Trimboli). If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have received the pay out. So, if you have been paying for insurance through your Super fund (most of us do by default) and have been permanently injured, I'd highly recommend a chat with Lory at Gordon Legal. Definitely worth it.
A massive thankyou to Loredana and Hala for their support (patience) and understanding in helping me with my TPD claim. It means a lot to feel supported in a stressful situation. Your help has and is very much appreciated.
My husband has recently had a workcover claim. Thanks to Loredana Trimboli at Gordon Legal for her help with him throughout this experience. From Lori we learnt that he was eligible to apply for a TPD claim. Lori was very professional and easy to deal with throughout the entire process, which made it a stressless and hassle free process for him to deal with.
I cannot express enough gratitude to Corinne and Perin from Gordon Legal for their outstanding representation. Throughout my case, they demonstrated unwavering honesty, support, and professionalism. Their guidance and advice were truly invaluable, giving me confidence every step of the way. Thanks to their expertise and dedication, we achieved a positive outcome that exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for trustworthy and compassionate legal representation, I highly recommend Corinne and Perin and Gordon Legal.
I can’t speak highly enough of Loredana and Hana from the Personal Injury Law team at Gordon Legal. From the very beginning, they showed genuine care, professionalism, and dedication to my WorkCover case. Their knowledge of the law, attention to detail, and clear communication gave me so much confidence throughout the process. They were always approachable, understanding, and truly went above and beyond to support me.
It’s rare to find lawyers who combine such heartfelt compassion with legal expertise, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have had them by my side. Thank you both for making a tough journey feel so much easier. I highly recommend Loredana and Hana to anyone needing trustworthy and exceptional legal representation.
Thank you so much Lory.
I would like to thank Loredana&Hala on my TPD claim.Loredana professionalism made it very easy for me to go through with the process
Choosing Gordon Legal for me was the best decision Sarah Dean legal secretary to Amber Chan she was the best help for nothing was to hard or to small a job for her she kept well informed over my entire case almost 8 years very professional services once again I cannot say enough about Sarah Dean without her professional approach I would have been lost thank you so much Sarah Dean and Amber Chan
As someone who is suffering through a work cover a claim, and I had no idea I could claim TPD through my Superannuation fund until I spoke with Loredana Trimboli at Gordon Legal. Loredana was so professional and knowledgeable, she made me feel so worthy and comfortable with her lovely manner and concern. I would highly recommend speaking with Loredana Trimboli at Gorgon Legal as I would be truly lost without her advice and hard work, she did for me. Thank you so much Lory.
Choosing Gordon Legal was the best decision that I could have made to get legal representation. They were empathetic enough to take over my case when a lot of the other firms refused simply because it wasn't worth the $$ for them. Shout out to Nadia Pradolin who supported me throughout the legal journey; heard me out and explained all the options. The communication was prompt and everything was explained clearly at every step of the way. Nadia did an exceptional job at a time sensitive case and the favourable outcome was all due to her efforts. Highly highly recommended!
Very happy to have worked with Loredana Trimboli at Gordon Legal for my TPD claim - she is very compassionate, very good at explaining how everything works, and what is needed for a claim, and very understanding of people's circumstances that lead to making a TPD claim in the first place. She is also very efficient; I was very pleasantly surprised at how quickly my claim was approved; so she knows how to make a strong case! So I'm very grateful for her hard work, but also her very human & compassionate approach.
I cannot speak more highly of this firm, I have used them a few times with the outcome always a win, I have recommended this firm to friends and colleagues. The personal assistants are more than helpful and will support you while you go through the process, the Lawyers are all over it they know what they are doing, no win no fee, give them a go you won't regret it.
What a team of amazing humans. From Sofiia, to Aylin and Tess and ofcourse Luke. The compassionate and caring nature of these people got me through what was the hardest 6.5 years of my life. They listened with empathy and cared for my well being. From checkins and endless phone calls back and forth we got the outcome we worked hard for. You bunch are amazing. Will miss you all but I know you are all a phone call away if I ever need anything in the future. You and the team at Gordon come HIGHLY reccomended. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart 💕
Unreliable. Made an appointment and never kept it. Made another for a return call and could not get that right either.
It's been a pleasure dealing with the Gordon legal team. Thank you all for readily providing information and for your ongoing support with my case in achieving a favourable outcome. I have very much appreciated your kind understanding of my situation and your accommodating ways to deal with it (especially allowing my daughter to talk to you on behalf of me)
Thank you once again. I would definitely recommend you to anyone who wishes for a positive outcome with work related injuries

A truly professional & ethical legal firm.
I would like to thank Victoria and her team for the excellent way they handled my dad's claim. They are professional, ethical and caring and I would not hesitate to recommend Gordon Legal. Great job guys.
Many thanks to Rebecca & Anne-Maree for their genuine and informed approach to my claim, which resulted in a pleasing outcome. The team were easy to work with and kept on track until the final outcome was reached. Bruce.
Choosing Gordan Legal was the best decision we could have made. My Fathers asbestos case was handled by Tess and Jayanne, we couldn't be happier with the representation we received and the overall result. The compensation we received was many times over the estimates given by other law firms we interviewed. All our expectations were exceeded by Tess and her team and I would highly recommend. Thank you Tess and Gordon Legal
I would recommend Gordon Legal to anyone needing legal assistance. The people in Geelong & Melbourne were professional and treated me with the utmost respect. I would like to thank both the staff & the partners for their efforts & their consideration. A truly professional & ethical legal firm.
Very happy with both the services provided and the outcome achieved by Amber and her team. Would recommend her to anyone in need
I'd like to thank Robert Boz and Maddie Meltzer for all their professional and emotional support during my injury and recovery journey. I have no words to describe how greatful I am through these last few years. They have been amazing to say the least with their support and in achieving an outcome that I still can't believe is real. Thank you soo much. I'd refer you in a heartbeat.
I cannot speak highly enough of Amber, Wendy and the entire Gordon Legal team, thank you for helping, supporting and guiding me through this long 2 and a half year journey. You have always been very professional, caring, quick acting and informative throughout my claim.
I will highly recommend you to anyone.
Thank you all.
Communication was A+, always ahead of the ball. Even when things looked bad my representative stood up, explained the process and what moving forward looked like. We were successful in the end and I could not be happier. Highly recommend Gordon Legal and Rebecca in my case was superb.

I cannot speak more highly of Kelly Leydon, she was informative, courteous, compassionate, quick acting and she really knows her way around the family law practice in which she’s highly accredited for. She was professional from the beginning right through to the end. If you’re looking for some amazing representation don’t go past Kelly. Thanks so much for all you did to help me, I truly appreciate it.
I had an exceptional experience with Gordon Legal.after suffering a long term injury in a motor vehicle accident. Anastasia and her team guided me through the process with care, compassion, expertise & professionalism, It’s been a hard journey to make but with wonderful support it’s been made easier. Over the long journey I’ve also been supported by Sarah and Richard Lewis who also showed care, compassion, expertise & professionalism. I’ve had a positive outcome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Lauren, Denis and the entire of the Gordon Legal team have made my unfortunate need for legal assistance both seamless and thorough. Their attention to details and their promptness with each step made my experience bearable and ended with an amazing outcome for me. Thank you team, greatly appreciate your professionalism and hard work
I would highly recommend Tess Dickie and Jayanne Francis at the Gordon Legal team. They guided us through each step of our claim of the process professionally and with a caring nature. All was done in a very timely matter, and we had regular updates of the progress of our case. Thankyou
Very good service. Highly recommended
I would like to thank Gordon Legal for their help with my dad's compensation claim. We felt very well supported and cared for, with Tess working hard for the best outcome for our family. Tess and her assistant Jayanne were at all times compassionate and incredibly professional. All of my many emails were answered promptly and the outcome gave us some feeling of justice being served. I would highly recommend Gordon Legal. Amanda White
During a very difficult time in our lives with our Dad’s asbestos claim, it was made so much easier with our team at Gordon Legal. Thank you Tess Dickie for all that you did for us. You became more a friend than a lawyer. We will always appreciate it.
Our experience with Gordon Legal came about because my late father was entitled to a compensation claim. My sisters and I had never dealt with a legal form before, so it was a daunting new experience. Not only were we dealing with the grief of losing our father, but also with the mixed emotions of somehow profiting financially from his death. Tess Dickie from Gordon Legal made the whole process as seamless and stress free as possible. She was a voice of constant reassurance; her manner was so gentle and kind in what was, at times, a very emotional process. Her and her team went above and beyond anything we ever expected in terms of achieving what we felt was a fitting amount for the loss of our father. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Gordon Legal.
From my impairment benefit claim to common law claim, Gordon Legal provided excellent legal advice. I cannot recommend and thank them enough. It was a long 4 year journey but I have been well looked after and therefore was less stressful to make a decision. Special thanks to Skye, Jenny, Zoe and James F. who explained every step well and always made sure that I fully understood before making a decision. The long fight was successful and now I can close this chapter of my life and move forward. Gordon Legal, thank you so much and more power to you!
I had an excellent experience with Lauren, Nisha and their team at Gordon Legal. I felt fully supported, consulted with and engaged at all stages, with a positive outcome for my case. I also felt comfortable asking any questions I needed clarification for, without feeling belittled or patronised. Couldn’t have asked for better service.
I was very impressed with the attention, care, and professionalism I received from the Gordon Legal team in handling my workplace injury case. All of my questions and doubts were addressed from the very beginning and I was updated in a timely manner about what they were doing for me . They really fought for me and were able to settle my case for much more than I expected. I would strongly recommend Gordon Legal for any Legal Advice or Quetions you may have

Excellent Legal representation. The Gordon Legal Team have excellent work ethic, are very reliable and will never let you down. Thank you to Lauren and her amazing admin team, for always listening, understanding, being compassionate and always communicating in a friendly professional manner. You are all amazing.
Gordon legal were very helpful regarding my injury claim and I’m happy regarding the settlement. I would highly recommend Gordon legal
Rebecca Lanza from Gordon Legal provided us with a most professional and friendly service which resulted in a successful hearing loss claim. We highly recommend her service to anyone as she was thorough and maintained regular communication throughout the process. A pleasure to deal with. Thank you Rebecca and Gordon Legal!
Contacted the firm about a sensitive matter I believed may have some merit for medical negligence. Spoke to administrative staff and a paralegal before being told that the firm would not take on my matter and that I should make a complaint to the regulator instead. I was happy to accept that they did not believe that it was worth being taken further but disappointed at the lack of reasons given. Two stars for the admin and junior staff who were friendly but overall a bad review for (politely) being shown the door with no explanation as to why.
I had so much help from Zoe, Sky and Jenny. Can't thank them enough for all there help. They explained everything in simple terms that made it very easy for me to go through the whole process, nothing was a problem for them, felt like they really cared for me, feel very looked after and extremely happy with the out come. Big thanks to the whole team.

They provided a great service, were very professional, and were extremely helpful in their explanations. If in the future I require their services again, I will most definitely return.
I would like to say thankyou to Anastasia and the team at Gordon Legal for their professionalism that they showed in my TAC claim, the team worked tirelessly for 3 years on my complex TAC claim and provided me with great support and understanding.
The Team of Gordon Legal will not only get you the best settlement, but they'll make sure the client is provided with the best medical support which TAC might try to deny you of.
Really lucky to have Gordon Legal to represent my son's case with TAC for the road accident he had. We were given due updates on a regular basis and that made us take an informed decision.....rather informed right decisions. Thanks again to Gordon Legal.
Called back promptly but wrong law firm ( I thought they were a different no for Gordon & Slater)
I had just been an horrific time in my life, through a very messy separation. I’d only just recently retired & realised that my hearing loss, back & shoulder injuries, as a result of my working life would’ve made my life a misery ! Robert Boz at Gordon Legal helped me through all the problems associated with compensation for these physical injuries. The assistance, the tact,the patience, the friendliness, the end result, made my business with Gordon Legal a very good experience 🙂
Having Gordon Legal, especially Tessa Dickie and Jayanne Francis, working in my best interest in an asbestos related case, was a positive experience with a very satisfactory outcome. At all times, over a period of 2 1/2 years, I was always treated with the utmost of respect and provided with clear and valuable advice at all times. I would recommend them to anyone requiring a similar legal service.
