Compassionate Experts
Our team of Compensation Lawyers can help you navigate the complex world of compensation claims and guide you through what can be an extremely stressful time.
We cannot undo what has happened; no one can. However, we can help you get the compensation you're entitled to, so you can fund the things you need to get your life back on track.
We understand that your situation comes with a variety of challenges – it is not just a legal problem and compensation claim. We have helped many people like you go through similar journeys and we like to help wherever we can.
We know the law and how to work within it to get the best possible outcome for you.
What you can count on from James Law is a concrete strategic direction for your claim that is underpinned by the confidence and knowledge that comes from more than 90 years' combined experience and expertise in compensation law.
Every member of our team holds strong to the same core values that shape our practice: integrity, exceptional advocacy and service; acting with dignity, purpose and fairness.
The above is general information only and not intended to be legal advice. You should not rely on this information to make decisions but should seek expert legal advice about your specific circumstances.
Prepare to Win
Our vision for you is very simple: to get as much compensation as possible into your back pocket, not ours.
It is important that you are equipped with the information and advice you need; the good, the bad, and the ugly, so that you are not taken by surprise at any time. We want you to be prepared to make the choices that are right for you. We will advise you, guide you and make recommendations, but ultimately the big decisions are yours to make. We are just here to help.
Years of practice tells us that proper preparation of the evidence to support your case is essential to achieving the best outcome. We know that everyone's experiences are different, and so are the facts of each case, the evidence and ultimately the outcome. So, to get it right from the beginning, we take the time to listen to you and learn all about you and what is important. When you tell us your story, you are telling it to someone who is qualified to fully understand your case and represent you; specialist compensation lawyers with years of life-changing wins behind us.
If you are considering a claim, or are not sure if you have a claim, we encourage you to do your homework and to find a law firm that is the best fit for you. Hopefully, that's us: James Law.
