I engaged Garling & Co to guide me through a personal injury claim and could not have asked for better representation. Matthew was in a different class to the other lawyers I had spoken to, and that... was clear from our very first phone call. At that time, I was not even sure a claim would go ahead. It was just a call for advice and Matthew was generous with his time which created immediate trust.My options were always explained clearly and the decision was always left with me with no pressure to follow a particular course of action. Allison and the rest of Matthew's team are equally excellent and were on hand throughout, taking me through the process and passing on information at the right time.No hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for the best advice in NSW.read more

Kerry and her team are professional showing real empathy and kindness.Going through a severe psychological work injury is a deeply lonely, exhausting, and anxiety-ridden road. But from the moment... Kerry and her team stepped in, everything changed. They showed me the kind of genuine empathy, warmth, and human kindness that you just don't expect to find in the legal world. They truly, deeply understand the complexities of psychological injury law, but more importantly, they understand the human being behind the case. No matter how scrambled or anxious my mind was feeling, they always found the time to answer my frantic check-ins and left me feeling completely reassured and safe.What I respect most about them is their absolute integrity.Kerry has a brilliant legal mind specialising in personal injury,and only ever sticks strictly to the real facts and let the honest, medical truth do the talking.Thank you Kerry and Myriel.❣️read more

I can’t thank Mr Garling and his team enough for the incredible support they provided throughout my case. From the very beginning, they showed genuine compassion, professionalism, and a strong... commitment to achieving the best possible outcome for me - and the result they achieved in the end was far beyond my expectations!What stood out most was their clear and prompt communication, customer-focused approach and kindness. At every stage, they made sure I understood what was happening and what to expect. This made a very difficult and emotionally challenging process a lot more manageable. Whenever I had questions or felt anxious they were responsive, patient, and reassuring.Thanks to Mr Garling, I felt empowered and confident navigating the complex, opaque and overwhelming workers compensation system. His dedication and expertise, along with the hard work of his entire team, helped me achieve an outstanding outcome.I cannot recommend Garling & Co highly enough, to anyone in need of personal injury legal assistance, and especially those dealing with a workplace injury / workcover. You’ll be in very capable and caring hands!read more
