I would like to thank Brittany Vella & her team for getting me compensation after a very traumatic & horrific car accident. It was a very difficult case as it was virtually impossible to place the blame on the offending party.
I was very happy with the successful outcome that has allowed me to start a new life without any financial worries.

If you go with their "no win, no fee" deal you need to be aware of the fact that you will lose roughly half of the what you are awarded, to them.
If you are awarded $600,000.00, you will receive slightly more than $300;000.00.
Shop around for a better deal.

How does one have an operation and due to the surgeons mistake I am left with an injury I did not have prior to an operation.
I’m 65 and as I have no working life left it’s not worth their time. Not enough $$$ in it for them.
Disgusted in your effort towards my claim.
Will not recommend or use your service again.

Haven’t heard back from them in a long time after submitting extensive documentation their abuse team requested. A curtesy would be to reply to someone even if you can’t help further. I’d not recommend.
Update after reply from them below, it’s been months and another email I’d sent. It feels like they ghosted instead of a fairly reasonable reply noting they can’t help after all. It’s not fair on a person to be asked to share deeply personal information of a sensitive and medical nature, and proceed to reward the trust from the potential client with such treatment and disregard. After months now, I don’t believe they are intending on ever replying.

horrible access to help
-after supplying the relevant information, shine got back to me and i spent near an hour on phone giving her all the details while she waffled on and then she asked a basic question about the case, i already supplied. i had enough so she booked me a time for a call back on a 12.00 on a saturday, they called at 2 and i missed the call!!
-someone called me today on the monday, i was out shopping so arranged a call an hour later.
-i geared myself up ready for the call, as the matter has called me distressed, my phone rung i answered and said hello and they hang up in my ear.
Rachel Seager was an exceptional lawyer—professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. She communicated clearly, handled everything with care, and made a stressful situation much easier. I highly recommend her to anyone needing reliable legal help.

Absolute disgrace. If your small fry, don't even bother with this incompentant company. Treat you like your insignificant by not returning calls, emails etc. This is the problem with such large companies, they get so big for their pants, they forget it was us small fry that got them to where they are now!

Shine lawyers are not capable of helping people. When I really matter. Thanks to splatt lawyers who stood with me and are capable of helping when it really matters.
Well done splatt. Pick up the pieces when shine couldn't .Professionals and real team work and listens to clients care about their recovery no stress . 5 star splatt
I wouldn't trust them in a critical case or expect them to do the effort required to benefit their clients.
I wish I read reviews before I seek them.
From the first phone call I made enquiring about my circumstances, to the last call to let me know the money was in my bank was a master-class of professionalism. A big thank you to all concerned and God bless you.

Neil at Shine lawyers Helensvale was so incredibly helpful with regard to an employment situation. Explained complex legislation in simplified terms which was super appreciated. Thank you so much for your time and understanding.

I highly recommend Geeta and Tim from Shine lawyers at Logan Central. They were amazing from the get go. They treated me with compassion while working tirelessly on my case. They were down to earth, breaking the legal process down so I could understand the process from start to end. If you need someone strong in your corner Tim and Geeta at Shine are who you need.

Just wanted to inform you that especially if you are share holders that Shine Law is abusing people with disabilities and when they make a complaint about discrimination violations abuses and discrimination violations by human rights violations they abuse and neglect people who are in danger of crime violations further violations abuses… especially when you make a complaint to the commonwealth government about there conduct … exploitation of people with disabilities… be aware when you are buying shares as you are just as bad as the people who abuse the vulnerable people do your research on the situation
Having Bailey Napier as my solicitor has made a hard process easier, as she was quite prompt, professional and provided a lot of communication throughout the process.
I would highly recommend anyone to seek legal advice and assistance from Bailey when needed.

Wow… two lawyers left the parramatta firm without no notification in why they left or no curtsy explanation to me when they left.. I have had my case with them now for three years and counting and with all the evidence that was presented to them, they have failed to close the case on a corrupt EML insurance company.. what a disgusting behaviour from whoever is running the parramatta firm.. not only did my lawyer left the firm he failed and his paralegal failed to even give me a email of my lawyer leaving… how can this happen.. I’m on a disability pension nearly lost my life on a construction site that left me with no job no wage lost my missus and children cause of my mental health.. and now I lost two lawyers with no explanation or phone call in why… I was told that a simple request to obtain a medical report from my GP was all that was needed.. this is a disgusting behaviour to treat their client that has been patient and respectful to them all..
If you aren’t dying on a hospital bed or your leg or arms isn’t chopped off in an accident then don’t use this firm.. cause with all my evidence that was presented to them these lawyers can’t close a case.. and they won’t respectfully let you know what is going on.. they will ask you to chase paperwork when they know clearly it’s their job to do so..
Very disappointed with shine lawyers parramatta Sydney.. do not bring your case to this firm..
Never, ever trust Shine Lawyers.
A family member was part of a class action ran by Shine and it was a complete waste of time, energy and a stressful emotional rollercoaster.
My family member hasn’t received a cent to help with the horrendous issues they have, which truly deserve compensation.
Meanwhile Shine got paid, but the victims did not. All Shine cares about is paying their lawyers up to $20k per day and dividends for their shareholders.
Whatever you do, do not trust a word that comes from their mouths.
I recently had the of working with Angela Parlane and Jo‑Anne Kent‑Johnston at Shine Lawyers Auckland, and I couldn't be more satisfied with their exceptional services. They helped me successfully win a permanent disability insurance case against an international insurance company, demonstrating their expertise and professionalism every step of the way.
Angela and Jo‑Anne are both incredibly knowledgeable in their respective areas of specialty. Their dedication to my case, combined with their clear communication and strategic approach, made a significant difference in the outcome. They handled every challenge with confidence and precision, ensuring that my best interests were always at the forefront.
I highly recommend Shine Lawyers to anyone in need. Their results and unwavering support throughout the process truly set them apart.
