Client Testimonials

“Rachael was always there for me, to answer my questions, my phone calls, and she was always patient. I always felt that she really cared about me, my case, doing her best to help me find the answers I needed and that were able to be answered. I was impressed especially when I saw Rachael and the team members at the inquest. You were, and still are, a super team, looking for all the details, not forgetting a comma, a point, no details would escape you. Thank you for your fight, words, true care and hard work. You will be always in my mind and heart.

You helped me in every step, to make sure that I took care of myself and to remind me I was never alone. Closing this chapter in my life has been very important. I now have the opportunity to start over, try again, and find happiness. I would not be where I am now, without you. Thank you.”

“Dear Rachael, Perhaps it is because you deal with medical negligence and all the grief that so often entails, but I was struck, and appreciated, how you so quickly recognised how distressing the past several years have been for me.”
“Rachael, on behalf of the family I wish to thank you for all you achieved for the family at Mediation. It is a great relief to us all that the case has been settled. We can never thank you enough.”
