After talking about my case to a Sunshine Coast law firm they actually recommended that due to the nature of my injury and the circumstances they felt that McInnes Wilson Lawyers would be the best option for me to proceed with if I wanted to make a claim and if I wanted to achieve the best possible outcome.

At first, I felt very overwhelmed and anxious about the idea of having to go down a legal road, having to openly talk about my situation and everything that follows.

But I was pleasantly surprised from my very first conversation with the compassion and sense of security I felt with how they responded to my situation. Terry McCormick and his team agreed to take on my case. Due to the nature of my injury, Renee Davidson was the associate assigned to me. Renee’s passion for her job, along with her caring and understanding nature put me completely at ease. She truly wanted to achieve the best result possible and was determined to do so.

Through the process Terry, Renee, Alexandra and their team kept in constant contact, keeping me up to date with what I should expect through every stage and making sure I understood everything and was supported.

What really blew me away and made me go ‘wow this team really, truly do care’ was when half way through my case, I lost my brother unexpectedly. Renee, Terry and their team sent a beautiful big bunch of flowers to my home. It was right then, I knew that this team didn’t just care about the case, but they truly cared and were invested in helping my family and I. I couldn’t thank them enough for that kind gesture.

The outcome that Terry, Renee and Alexandra were able to achieve was far more then we could have ever expected! We are blown away by their support and the results they were able to achieve.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them! Thank you again for everything you have done for our family!
