EXCELLENT Based on 79 reviews Posted on Jason BaxterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is not just a token review, this is a heartfelt thank you and show of myself and my families respect and gratitude for Jamie Burns and Sarai Sandral of Burke Mead Lawyers - Newcastle. Worker’s Compensation is literally life changing, impacting not only you as injured worker but also impacting your family too. The process and decisions made by insurers can be extremely overwhelming and difficult, even almost bullying at times, your rights difficult to understand and navigate, to the insurer you are not a person you are just a claim number. The legal support and expertise you choose is the biggest and most important decision you will make when needing direction and representation to ensure you receive the correct, just and maximum entitlements throughout your claim process…having a team such as Jamie and Sarai who value and represent you as person with a genuine care and commitment to looking out for your absolute best interests, protecting and defending your rights to hold insurers accountable is so, so important and comforting…to be able to chat openly throughout the claims process at times when you have nowhere else to turn too and have their explanation and guidance reaches far beyond the legalities, it keeps a genuine human touch and confidence that someone is listening, someone cares and they have your back 100%. A review doesn’t do justice to express how grateful I am for not only the outcome but for all the support every step of the way throughout my claim…i cannot recommend Jamie, Sarai and Burke Mead Lawyers highly enough. Thank you.Posted on Gordon StoddartTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. These guys are great , every question that we asked was answered promptly. I highly recommend them.Posted on Kelly GrimsterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wonderful people to work with. All of the staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Very pleased with our association.Posted on TahneeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend Jamie highly enough! He supported me through a complex legal claim that lasted over a year, and his dedication, professionalism, and attention to detail never wavered. Jamie kept me informed every step of the way, made the process far less stressful, and in the end, secured an incredible result that I’m so grateful for. Thank you so much, Jamie!Posted on Alanna SandellTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I want to express my gratitude for Jacob Cavill at Burke Mead Lawyers. When I found myself in a challenging situation and unsure where to turn, Jacob provided calm and clear guidance. His professionalism and expertise made a significant difference in navigating my legal matters. I highly recommend Jacob to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you, Jacob!Posted on calvin HunterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If it was not for my lawyer, l would have nothing. Insurance companies have many traps that will leave you with nothing. I could not have done it on my own. QBE CTP insurance are nothing but bullies. It would have been a disaster if l had to do it by myself!Posted on Sue GearyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. So Glad I used Burke and Mead for what turned out to be a very stressfull time. They were by my side all the way and got me a settlement i was happy with. Thanks Emma and Reilly. Can not praise and thank them enough.Posted on Damian LloydTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
