Cedric has gone above and beyond and has been an absolute pleasure to deal with. He worked hard to gain the best possible outcome for me which exceeded my expectations. I have dealt with Shine Lawyers previously and I would never go anywhere else, they are a fantastic firm and I highly recommended them.
Had a great experience at Shine Lawyers Ballarat, thanks to Brady at the front desk. She was friendly, professional, and went out of her way to help with my inquiries. Her excellent customer service made everything easy and stress-free. Highly recommend this firm, and big thanks to Brady! (Hope i spelt your name right).
Thank you cedric Rwabutozi, it was amazing Experience , the whole process had been stress less and had expected outcomes.
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
The original lawyer I spoke with had to unexpectedly leave the firm and I was given another lawyer, who looked after me. Thank you Arsan and team for getting me a great outcome and special thanks to Nick for your negotiations.
The team at Shine Ballarat took car of me so so well after my motor vehicle accident, I felt incredibly well looked after and was taken through the entire process step by step. Could not recommend Shine any more and have appreciated their help over the last year with my case immensely. Thanks again!
I used Shine Lawyer's to help me with my legal matter and I couldn’t have asked for a better team.

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.
Best decision i made was choosing shine lawyer's to handle my case. Outcome was excellent and i would choose shine lawyer's again. Good job team 👏 👍.
Shine Lawyers Ballarat are a dedicated team of professionals who will fight hard for your rights. They are knowledgeable, professional people who I highly recommend for your personal injury law matter.
The Staff were always helpful,polite and understanding of my condition and abilities. While the process was very drawn out and exhausting we got the result we were after and I am very grateful to all the staff who worked on my case. Thank you all very much. Cheers
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.
I utilized the services of shine Lawyers in a Victims of Violence claim in 2021, I strongly recommend this firm for their professionalism, communication and results. A special thank you to Justin Burke 5 stars .
