To Ciaran and staff,
For all the help you gave me, after I lost my partner. I didn’t know I was entitled to anything but you have made my life a lot easier.
Fond regards,

Recently I engaged Turner Freeman lawyers to fight a case for me against an employer from years gone by because I had worked with asbestos whilst in their employ, and consequently developed a type of lung cancer. The lawyer acting on my behalf was Ciaran Ehrich. I found him to be a down to earth fellow whom I could speak to man to man.
I could phone him or see him in person when it suited me which was handy because of my hearing disability. We got on well ( even showed me a photo of his new family addition on his phone ). More importantly, when we discussed my case, he predicted it would be settled in my favour for an approximate amount of money and in an approximate time frame. He was absolutely spot on.
I have no hesitation in recommending Ciaran as your acting lawyer in any compensation action.

To describe Ciaran as being dogged and tenacious would be a gross understatement, he just never gave up, with the resultant very successful outcome culminating in my receiving compensation from Comcare. ln my opinion he has the hallmark of a consummate professional.

Dear Ciaran, we are 100% satisfied with your professional expertise. From day 1, you were professional, friendly, accurate and punctual. The claim took time to complete as expected, and during this time you kept us very well informed of the progress of our claim. If I added any further comments I would simply be repeating myself because of your high level of competence. I cannot give you any higher praise.
Ian and Deidre – Mermaid Beach
I would like to thank Ciaran for his professionalism, expertise and sound advice during the process of my late husband and my compensation claims. His compassion and understanding of our situation took a great weight off our shoulders. I would not hesitate to recommend Ciaran and Turner Freeman Lawyers for successful outcomes in matters related to work related compensation.
D.N. – Everton Park
Just a line or two to say how satisfied I am with the effort and professionalism that Ciaran and his secretary have displayed in pursuing my claim and obtaining a reasonable compensation settlement for me. I have no reservations on recommending Turner Freeman to my family or anyone else for that matter.

Ciaran, I would like to thank you for all you have done for my father during his illness regarding his claim. I appreciate it and I’m sure my dad would have appreciated it too. Thank you once again.
J. O. – Beaudesert

Congratulations to Ciaran Ehrich, Partner of Turner Freeman, and his legal team for the no stress, positive manner that you handled my no win no fee claim, securing a recommended compensation outcome plus legal fees out of court leaving the case open for any future complications. Thank you for also helping set up support from Icare Dust Disease Care in the form of a pension, at home carer and medical fees. We are very grateful to Ciaran and his office staff for the outcome of my case and. I highly recommend his legal team.
Yours sincerely, J.M
Ciaran, I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for your professionalism and guidance through this difficult time in our lives. Whilst the money from James Hardie didn’t help Dad, it will help his children and grandchildren now and in the future which I’m sure gave Dad some peace of mind. The thing that helped the most was the insurance money from Icare as the medical bills were quite substantial. Thanks again, Ciaran. Keep up the great work that you do.

It has been a great pleasure to deal with you and your associates at your office.”

We very much appreciate all the assistance we received from you during our Asbestosis Claim, without this we would not have been able to handle the repeated communications from England. You kept us well informed and handled our ingoing and outgoing mail which we could not have managed on our own. Thank you very much for all your kind help.
