Ollie Meyer

I was extremely happy to find Denise in a time of great distress and being alone in an unfortunate circumstance to do with my job. She was extremely helpful in explaining things to me. Denise looked at the evidence of my situation and gave me her opinion and reason about it. This gave me the chance to make an informed decision. I ended up with a good result with my company because of it. Denise gave me an honest reply and said that my chances in front of the Fair Work Commission were not favorable. This resulted in me not pursuing the matter , which had already caused stress to me in my companies internal investigation. Denise took the time to look at my evidence, gave me advise and had the experience and empathy to help me understand my situation and then decided not to charge me for her services. This certainly was a shining light.

I recently experienced a quite stressful situation at my work and required legal support. This situation was extremely unpleasant, serious in nature and overwhelming for an everyday working person like myself. I was giving Denise’s number by a friend after contacting a few different people for legal advice. From the first phone call, Denise was supportive, informative and completely understanding and helpful with my situation. She was always upfront in relation to any fees so I always knew the costs involved, as for someone who hasn’t needed a lawyer this can be daunting. Fees were reasonable and billing systems supportive of my current situation. I highly recommend Denise to assist you in any legal representation you may require as she did such an amazing job with my situation and her hard work paid off and I achieved a good outcome . If your after an excellent lawyer who offers that personal support than definitely call Denise. Thanks again.

When you get blindsided by HR problems that are more than routine you want someone on your side who not only takes the time to carefully explain all the details but goes the extra mile, is thorough, practical and genuine. My experience in working with Denise was this and more – not only did she help navigate all the elements but made them easy to understand while providing thoughtful advice. Just knowing Denise was in my corner was a constant reassurance in knowing my rights would be protected and I was positioned well for a positive outcome.

I honestly cannot recommend Denise highly enough. She is knowledgeable and well versed in personal injury law, she has incredible attention to detail and above all else, she truly cares about her clients. Denise outlined all my options in great detail to ensure I was making the right choice for my situation. She counselled me through my decision and supported me. She made me feel valued when my situation had made me feel otherwise. Denise is a fabulous lawyer who will ensure you get the best outcome for your situation.

My savior!

Denise supported me through a time where I had no idea what my rights were after a challenging work event. She work tirelessly at crazy hours of the night (and morning), over 3 long years, to fight for compensation I deserved. I will forever be grateful for Denise and can’t recommend her enough! Thank you so much Denise!
