 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When I was dealing with my unfair dismissal case, I reached out to several lawyers and Shane was the only one who genuinely took my case seriously. My situation was complex, and that scared others off, but Shane didn't hesitate. What stood out most was how clear he was throughout the entire process. No confusing legal words, no vague answers... he explained everything in a way that made me feel informed and confident at every step. That kind of transparency means the world when you're already going through such a stressful time. I went through this entire process while pregnant, which made everything even more overwhelming and having Shane in my corner made an enormous difference. In the end, we reached a conciliation, and I walked away feeling heard and supported. Shane is not just a skilled lawyer, he's someone who genuinely cares about his clients. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you, Shane. You made a real difference.

FAQ's

What can I expect to win?

Every matter is different, but most cases result in a settlement of between two and five months’ pay, with your dismissal being overturned and your name cleared. We will usually seek that your former employer pay you within 7 days of settlement, that they keep the matter confidential and that they agree not to disparage you in future.

How long does the process take?

In most cases, you will receive your settlement money and overturn your dismissal within six to eight weeks of engaging our firm.

What happens if you don’t win or get a settlement?

If we are unsuccessful in your claim, we will not charge you anything for the work we have done. Dismissal claims are unlikely to involve costs orders, so there is normally nothing to pay if you lose or decide to walk away.

How successful are WWC Lawyers?

Our firm achieves a successful judgment or settlement in more than 95% of the cases we take on.

Do you act for people all over Australia?

Yes, we have lawyers available in every Australian state, and the cases we run usually involve telephone hearings, so we act for clients all over Australia.

Do I have to talk to my former employer or go to court?

If our firm agrees to act for you, we will be the point of contact with your former employer. You will not have to speak to them or present your case yourself. We will represent you and speak on your behalf in the hearings regarding your case and will deal with all communications and negotiations with your former employer. Most cases are done on the phone, so it’s unlikely you will have to attend court in person.
