What an absolute joke of a firm. Three phone calls going over the exact same things. Fourth call booked in for a particular time. I answer the phone. No answer from other end. They hang up. No further contact. All I wanted was a simple answer to an admin question. It really didn't matter whether I was aboriginal or not, what town I lived in or whether I had approached any other legal firms. If this is your "way" during the preliminaries how could I ever feel confident with you representing me. Awaiting your call. Shaylene

Shine Lawyers Ballarat handled my worker's compensation claim with professionalism, compassion and timeliness. I was kept up to date in all matters regarding the progress of my claim and all staff were extremely helpful and approachable. Their No Win, No Fee policy ensured I could pursue a claim without fear of financial loss. I readily recommend Shine to any person who has any query regarding compensation claims and have done so numerous times since my engagement of their services.

I would like to thank Shine lawyers, for their expert services over the past 7.5 years. Shine dealt with my, Work Place / TAC claim and delivered exactly what they promised, never leaving me in the dark. There were times through out my case where anxiety all but consumed me, especially when dealing with the TAC, a quick phone call or email and one of Shines professionals quickly reduced any anxiety i had to a very manageable level. I found Arsan Mutluel to be an excellent managing solicitor, who selected a very competent legal team , for my case. Arsan, explained things very well, in a calm manner, never ruffled, even tho i was. In the end a fantasitic outcome was negotiated by the team assembled by Arsan from Shine Lawyers, by means of an out of court settlement, which left me extremely relieved and grateful. I have no hesitation in recommending Shine Lawyers and their No Win No Fee policy

I couldn’t be more thankful to Leah and Connie at shine lawyers for all the guidance I received throughout my claim from a car accident. I wouldn’t have known all the procedures and claims I was entitled too if it wasn’t for shine lawyers. I’m more than happy with the outcome they did for me.
