Maurice Blackburn Lawyers Reviews 

I found this company very helpful with my case. They always kept me fully informed with the whole process from start to finish. I would fully recommend this firm to anyone who may need to go down the no win no fee process and I couldn't be happier with my result.

What a joke this company is. Ask to join class action regarding car loans. I got a 40.000 car on Monday and a 38.000 car on Friday same week same yard and same finacne company. I did everything they asked. To be told I don't match there criteria. Bullshit I don't. And to be told no review of the case at all what a joke . I had two claims with them got a email saying I don't qualify. It's a joke we struggle with the loans and they get Rich .they just cut you off with a email and no review in case they made a mistake. Why would they the more people they cut off the more for themselves

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!
Not interested in a class action to help the 100s of 1000s of vunerable NDIS Participants. Could not care less. They have no idea what Psychological and Emotional Abuse with Neglect even means. And you call yourselves personal injury lawyers? I DON'T THINK SO 😠

Add On Insurance Class Action handled by Maurice Blackburn
To find out a person was taken advantage of when getting a car loan and then advised that there was 4 add - on insurance products that was added to that loan is really upsetting. Then being contacted by Maurice Blackburn stating compensation was being paid out. The compensation was less than $200 for all 4 add on insurance products which did not cover one of the products originally paid for. I asked for copy of the add on insurance amounts and how it was calculated I was adviced I was not entitled to this information and the total amount advised was final and could not be discussed or changed. I felt like I have been taken advantage of all over again.
Never will I deal with Maurice Blackburn again.
So many bad reviews
Why this law firm is not made to be accountable for how they profit of peoples misfortunes is wrong in every way.
A reply that says it all pro rata percentage paid out those effected a very large percentage of the final compensation amount millions went to Maurice Blackburn

They strung me along for 7 years. Charging me for things here and there promising me a big payout then one day out of the blue they told me they were dropping the case and sent me a bill.

Made contact with these clowns as they seemed quite prominent throughout social media and hammered on the radio. I was starting to be concerned with their skill set and gumption to fight for me when they started enquiring about my super funds and how much was in them. I was on another page entirely focused on timestamped events before and after my accident. But after more than a month of nothing but my super fund being investigated and assessed they declined to represent my very clear cut case of negligence which has resulted in me never working again and living on handouts from the government. DISGUSTING ETHICAL APROACH PREYING ON THE WEEK AND IN MY CASE DESPERATE. I am relieved they have shown thier true colours early and I urge people needing advice for permanent disability compensation to look elsewhere. I believe they are motivated by deals with Super Funds and THEY should be investigated.

After being neglected through Work Cover experiences, Maurice Blackburn helped me to achieve the best outcome for all of us. My lawyer who was looking after my case spoke to me and consulted with me at every level until we reached the outcome we wanted.
Anyone sitting on the fence about who to use pick Maurice Blackburn you won't regret your choice. Again thank you especially Dimmy.

I engaged this organisation to assist with an appeal of a declined life insurance claim, and the service was unacceptable.

For over two months, I had to repeatedly chase for updates as emails were ignored and communication was virtually non-existent. I was never kept informed and had to do all the chasing myself.

Most concerning, I later discovered the staff member handling my matter had left the organisation, with no handover, notification, or reassignment. Had I not kept following up, I doubt my appeal would have received any attention.

When seeking help with a declined life insurance claim, you expect professionalism and communication. Instead, I experienced poor client management, a lack of accountability, and service well below what should be expected.

I withdrew my instructions because I had lost all confidence in the organisation.

Based on my experience, I cannot recommend them.

Worst stuck up little snobs!! Rude and appalling behaviour. Wouldn’t deal with them if you paid me.

We decided to do the initial consult with this firm as they marketed themselves as a professional body that listens, cares and acts. Our experience was anything but this-we had the initial consult and were told the next steps would be legal advice with options on where to go. Timeframe was approx. 2 weeks from initial consult-2 weeks had past and I made contact with the senior lawyer who presented as not knowing the details of my matter resulting in me having to go over the details again. 1 week later nothing had come back and a junior lawyer contacted me for more details and he had no idea of the conversation I had previous had with senior lawyer resulting in me having to go over details for a 3rd time and re-send e-mails. We were charged 3500 for this terrible service with the legal advice being no different to what was said at the initial consult. Simply appalling.

Thank you so much Kailey for your help !
Thank you chika as well for the good communication

These guys say no win no fee, than pull random figures out of their arse for disbursements ranging from 20k-40k to coerce you into accepting a measly $50k settlement on a TPD after nine years of deliberation. Maurice Blackburn are in the business of racketeering and wouldn’t surprise me if they were on the Super’s payroll.

Absolutely pathetic , first claim was on my superannuation, supposed to have money released at 5-7 days, day 19 I called my superannuation and got it sorted out, they lied and said there was a priority on it , they didn’t even make a phone call to my superannuation for $6000 ripped off on that one big time!!
Second was my impairment, they knew nothing of me going for an assessment, no paperwork organised , finally got my money , they took $8250 quick smart , no further communication from them for 7 weeks , I call them about how my common law claim was progressing, no call just an email with a questionnaire, so I’ve sacked them and will never deal with them again.
Very happy with my new lawyers handling my common law , professional, communicate well and doing as they promised.
Do your research and don’t deal with these muppets !

Incorrect and inconsistent advice, poor communication, and a $60,000 fee for very little work. My super fund was far more supportive—even though they had more reason to reject my claim. I handled it myself in the end and was successful. I also know others who’ve had the same experience. Would not recommend.

Disgusting service. Rang for no win no fee and the girl was amazing. She was smart had left the company. No one rang me so I rang to see what was going on. Spoke to the manager of the area and she told me Vincent would ring me on Monday with an update. That was back in early May. Still waiting in late August. Professionalism gone out the window here

TPD claim, I should have completed the claim form myself. No compassion or empathy. Disappointed!!

I'd give them a zero if I could - paid $690 for an initial consultation with a lawyer that was young and inexperienced. The information he gave me was wrong, he wasn't interested in my case at all. I had clear evidence but was told it wouldn't be beneficial for them to move forward and it would have costed $4000 to fill out a form for me. I have lost all respect for Maurice Blackburn Lawyers. Do your research before dealing with them. HOPELESS!

I lost all faith in Maurice and Blackburn
Frankston office over 6 years I had 4 different lawyers each one told me different stories
I was 1 month out of my common law case they booked my appointment with barrister finally after nearly six years to be told the barrister dosnt want to take it on
Left me with nothing after being serverly injured at work
Everything they said went against everything my medical people said my gp is very angry and my specialist want me to report them
Which I will be doing
I believe the way there barrister treated me and the lawyer something that would make them more money came up at the last minute
This company well Frankston office should be ashamed of themselves
You gave me no time to continue with common law not even with another solicitor
My life was in your hands and you ruined it
Relized you guys are playing with peoples lives don’t give them hope for 6 years then stuff them over
I’m left disabled now and cannot afford the things I need in life to give me quality of life
Good job not

Maurice Blackburn lawyers assigned a wee little lawyer. However, at the time, this wee little Maurice Blackburn lawyer forgot to mention (whilst he was dealing with my Australian Government Insurance claim) he had applied for and accepted a job with the Australian Government Insurer.

In addition to not declaring this very significant conflict of interest, the wee little lawyer also allowed me to attend an Australian Government Insurer medical examination with the Australian Governments very own medico-legal doctors. Any decent lawyer/law firm would not allow this to occur because this particular medico-legal firm is on the Australian Governments regular payroll (standing contract panel), and therefore, these medico-legal bullies are the solution the Australian Government Insurer relies upon to get a narrative that works against you the claimant. I was very unwell at this time and completely reliant on the advice of Maurice Blackburn's wee little lawyer (he certainly fooled me).

The now ex wee little Maurice Blackburn lawyer works for the Australian Government Insurer which is great for Maurice Blackburn because they have an inside man, so to speak. Yet this arrangement is very odd because this ex wee little Maurice Blackburn lawyer has oversight of active compensation case management i.e. claims that he was involved with whilst working for Maurice Blackburn.

Maurice Blackburn's wee little lawyer managed to get me the absolute minimum compensation because of what the so-called independent medical examination report said i.e. a report written by doctor employed by the Australian Government Insurer. Once again, any decent reputable law firm would not allow their clients to attend an examination with a medico-legal company that is reliant upon ongoing business from the insurer.

I lost everything because of the reckless bungling created by the investigators employed by the Australian Government Insurer. The incompetent mismanagement of my complaint of industrial workplace bullying was further supported (seamlessly) by the wee little Maurice Blackburn lawyer because without any doubt he wanted to impress his soon to be employer. As things transpire we now know that Maurice Blackburn were working to achieve the best possible outcome for the Australian Government Insurer. To the point, as at 22 January 2025, I received an email from the Maurice Blackburn Senior Executive Client Liaison Manager (Melbourne) and Mr X clearly states in his email that Maurice Blackburn were instructed by the Australian Government Insurer to send me to their doctor.

If you have left a positive review about Maurice Blackburn, then I would suggest that your experience was attributed to the individuals who assisted and represented you.

Maurice Blackburn's senior leadership certainly does not and would not give a hoot about you. To prove this point, as mentioned above, Maurice Blackburn were instructed by the Australian Government Insurer to send me to a specific doctor with a well known reputation for aiding the agenda of the Australian Government Insurer.

Until today (07 Feb 2025), I had a more accurate review with Trustpilot about what happened, however, Maurice Blackburn managed to strong-arm this review from existence by means of Trustpilot's very own policy. Right now, because I have only mentioned exactly what happened without naming the individuals (who should be held to account), it is now necessary for Maurice Blackburn to issue a Cease and Desist.

Oddly in my recent email volley with Maurice Blackburn, the Senior Executive Client Liaison Officer (Melbourne) acknowledged the severity of my condition per the narrative in the standing examination report which was valid at the time when the wee little Maurice Blackburn lawyer allowed me to attend a medical examination with a particular renowned medico-legal doctor. Simply put, by taking this course of action, Maurice Blackburn achieved the highest possible fee, whilst I received the absolute minimum amount of compensation possible.

Please accept my experience as a warning about Maurice Blackburn Lawyers, they are not to be trusted or engaged, please stay well clear.

Date of experience: 04 January 2025

I would like to take this time to thank Darren Moore and his team at Maurice Blackburn Lawyers on the care they have given me for my case. I received nothing but positive support from them throughout my case. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in a similar situation.
