Couldn’t reccomend Shine at all, I came to them when I was needing someone local to assist with an injury. I had a meeting, supplied all info and correspondence and never heard from them until 12 months later.
Found out 7+ months later they were chasing funding for my matter and I hadn’t seen a single email or call back from Reef or Shine.
Thanks for nothing
The team at shine lawyers Newcastle are out standing for the first contact until the end of my TPD claim nothing was to much trouble a big thank you to Lauren Parr and Enza Watts for all their help 😀 😊
Lauren Parr from Shine Lawyers was fantastic. If you are needing advice and help regarding a claim look no further. Lauren is professional and keeps you informed, responds to emails promptly and you will get help with anything you need. I highly recommend Lauren and can’t thank her enough for removing stress from my life!
Lauren and Enza helped me get a positive outcome first time for a TPD claim after I could no longer work. They did all the work for me and were so easy to work with. They kept me up to date along the way. They made the process stress free and there is no way I could have done it on my own.
I have recently been represented by Shine lawyers who are very professional and easy to discuss matters with. I was comfortable asking any questions and received ample advice. The staff frequently updated me with progress and were easily contactable. I recommend using Shine Lawyers services.

Would highly recommend...very professional
Shine Lawyers were so helpful in handling my claim, Lauren and Enza were always so quick to answer any questions I had and were a pleasure to deal with. I don't normally leave reviews but honestly I couldn't be any happier that I chose to go with Shine through this process and I would definitely use them again if I needed legal assistance.
The team at Shine Lawyers Newcastle set about working on a matter for myself many years ago (2007). During this time we experienced State Government legislative change amongst other numerous seemingly insurmountable hurdles. However the never give up professional and extremely caring approach from an outstanding legal team at Shine Lawyers Newcastle was able to deliver a fair and just outcome.
I would not hesitate to recommend Shine Lawyers Newcastle, they never once considered abandoning the process.
Lauren, Enza, John and the whole team, thank you, you are first class!!
Expect a minimum 5 year wait for an open and closed case to be finalised. They are the laziest most incompetent lawyers in the country.

From the first day I made contact with , Shine Lawyers , I had a million questions regarding a claim I was going to pursue , and my first impression was how welcoming, and informative they were. After receiving the information I required, I was then informed they would take on my case and my amazing Lawyer Lauren Wilmott and her Assistant Enza were now my contacts. Lauren and Enza made me feel welcomed, and whether it be via email or phone I was always informed of where my case was at and what to expect , and I was kept upto date on progress . If I could also say that if you emailed them in the morning, you would have a response with in a hour at the most, my case is now complete, and I truely am so grateful and I would advise you all, if you have any issues or concerns, and you need a lawyer,Shine Lawyers, are the ones. They have made this so easy and honest and always informative, responsive, great customer service, you don’t go through this alone,

Thank you
Lauren and Enza have been fully understanding and cooperative in regards to assisting me with my Claim. Much appreciated.
I would like to thank Enza and Lauren of Shine lawyers Newcastle. Customer service is second to none, ensuring I was updated frequently as to the progress of my case.
We contacted this firm in Hamilton as well as Brisbane. The receptionist, Shenae (Hamilton office) and Ben (Brisbane office), were both polite and professional and advised that they would have someone contact us. Unfortunately, no calls were received and we had to follow things up on two occassions from our end. On the third occassion, we had a pre-arranged appointment for a specific time however, we never received a call.
We are disappointed to say the least, as we have heard good things about this firm. Unfortunately, on this occassion, this has been a poor experience for us and we feel let down.
