Unsure of your negligence claims entitlements? Contact Gouldson Legal today for a free case review. One of our experienced lawyers will assess your eligibility and advise you on the best path forward.

Many Brisbane negligence lawyers operate on a 50% fee cap—meaning they can take up to half of your compensation claims settlement amount. We think this is unfair. Gouldson Legal charges competitive hourly rates with a 30% fee cap to ensure the bulk of the settlement goes to you.

We believe everyone has the right to legal representation, regardless of their financial circumstances. That’s why every negligence claim we take on is covered by our No win, no fee guarantee. If you don’t win, we don’t charge.

Ellie Mitchell from Gouldson Legal provided us with exceptional, efficient, professional, friendly and concise information and assistance with our case. She made what appeared to be a difficult and drawn out case, easy to understand and progress efficiently to reach a positive outcome. We would gladly recommend Ellie and Gouldson Legal to anyone seeking legal representation where they want someone they can trust and count on. Sincerely John and ZennaPosted on Google Sonia MaddyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gouldson Legal was a company I never expected to be in need of. Faran Gouldson, Heather and Ellie who we dealt with were exceptionally caring, supportive and professional right through the entire process. Their communication was excellent and they always made time available to talk to and discuss anything and everything. Faran made an incredibly difficult time more manageable. Highly recommend! Thank you again Faran and team for all you did for us.Posted on Google Judy WernerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve just successfully been through the legal process against the hospital that sent me to a Care Home instead of carrying out the procedures recommended by the Neurosurgical Specialist. A long process but with my Solicitor at Gouldsons followed up all areas of my treatment — I had initially received all my notes under FOI and felt I had a case. I was kept in the loop throughout the process and am happy with the result. I can now get on with my life so thank you.Posted on Google JakeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Gouldson Lawyers were very supportive in my matter. The teamwork across the firm was excellent. Their communication was clear at every step and I would be more than happy to work with them again.Posted on Google Peter SilcockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We started out negotiating directly with the CTP insurer concerned, after all their promises of a appointed claims manager to provide advice in our best interest we found that they were paraphrasing clauses within the act to reduce their claim lability. As a result we sought legal advice. We chose Gouldson Legal as they were less hi pressure with their advertising than some of the ambulance chasing companies and also offered a claim fee cap. From the outset we found Gouldson Legal totally professional and understanding of our situation. Through our claim process we were continually informed via phone and or Email of every eventuality, plus their advice on the procedures that the claim would go through and the amounts that we could expect to receive. The end result of our claim ended at 2.5 times the best offer that was made from our dealing directly with the CTP Insurer. The CTP Insurers want everyone to deal directly with them for one reason only, it will reduce their payout. From our experience you will need legal assistance and advice and as such we can only recommend Gouldson Legal.

Kaine ran my MVA claim for me with his paralegal Alicia. They have both been in the game for a very long time and know their stuff! And it shows! They kept in touch and kept me abreast of everything! Kaine is very down to earth which makes this whole process a lot easier! Alicia is a very experienced paralegal who is always on top of everything and who I know works tirelessly in the background. What a golden team! John Harvey later took over my file - he also knows his stuff as also been in the game a long time and he was super efficient in bringing my claim to a speedy conclusion for a great result! Thank you John!! Thank you Kaine, Alicia and John for your amazing professionalism and great work on my claim. I would recommend you all always. Ps - Trish is a delight who always has a smile as big as the sun!Posted on Google Lindy JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
