Client Testimonials

Jacqueline, I just wanted to thank you for all you have done. At no stage did I think this outcome was possible. It was only by chance that out path’s crossed (through ADSS). I agreed to proceed with my silicosis/Progressive massive fibrosis case only on your advice. I’ve been so impressed with the caring professional manner you have provided, it has meant a lot. I know you would say you’re only doing you job but you should be proud of how you go about your work. I’m not a man that’s good with words so thank you once again.

Client Testimonials

They were with me every step of the way, and have kept me in the loop at all times. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with Zach and Jacqueline from the very start of my claims. They were both amazing.

They helped me with the CTP, TPD and income protection claims and without their help I wouldn’t of have been successful in these claims. They were with me every step of the way, and have kept me in the loop at all times. And were always available to explain things to me in plain English if me or my wife if we didn’t understand something. Every time I called, I was able to speak to Zach or Jacqueline.

Client Testimonials

I am certain that your representation was without peer. I would have no hesitation recommending you or your firm to anyone in similar circumstances.

I write to try to put into words my gratitude to you, for the professional way in which you handled my father’s matter and brought it to a successful conclusion. Although you did not meet, I know that Ray would have been extremely grateful to you. The thought of some justice in the form of compensation sustained my father, but the process took longer than the life left to him.

From the outset, I felt Dad’s case was in very capable hands. Initially I was very encouraged that you acted swiftly to advise me, travel interstate to meet with me, and then communicated with me to update me on the progress of the claim every step of the way.

It is my belief that your original prediction of the outcome of Dad’s matter was extremely accurate. While no amount could ever compensate for the loss of my father and the devastating impact of his final months, I know that he would have wanted this result, as family was everything to him. Sadly the work that he did to provide for his family was the cause of his fatality. Knowing that the company responsible for manufacturing the products in question recognised the validity of his case has also helped me cope with the loss of my father.

Although words cannot adequately describe my gratitude to you and your assistant Jacqueline, I am certain that your representation was without peer. I would have no hesitation recommending you or your firm to anyone in similar circumstances.

With sincere gratitude,

Everything Turner Freeman has done for me, I thought would never happen. After I found out I had asbestos disease, Thady and Jacqueline were outstanding in battling for me and coming out on top. I couldn’t be happier!

Jacqueline Hughes was very professional and pleasant. She fully explained everything throughout the process. I was very comfortable with both Jacqueline and Matthew O’Keefe and couldn’t have asked for a better service. I would recommend them to everyone.
