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.

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 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.

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.

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!

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.
