“I highly recommend Bourke Legal for any workers compensation matters. The service, communication, care and compassion that I received from the Principal Brendan Bourke and his staff have been exceptional. This was the first time that I had to deal with these life changing issues and couldn't have gotten through it without Bourke Legal.”

“Brendan, through Bourke Legal, wasn't just the rudder but the oar and the ballast for me. His very common sense, practical approach to all things injury management was exactly what I needed at a time when my life was turned upside down, inside out and all things chaotic. His understanding, direction, advice and general support of me in my situation, is only matched by his intimate expert knowledge of legislation surrounding work place injury compensation. I will always be grateful for all his and his PA Sarah's efforts. He also has a very dry sense of humour. Thank you very much”

“Brendan Burke and Melissa Arndell were fabulous handling my medical negligence case. They were both extremely respectful to me, kept me informed at all times and their no win no pay policy made the experience less traumatic. The successful outcome of my case was largely due to the hard work of Brendan and Melissa. The result was absolutely fantastic and has changed my life forever. I highly recommend Brendan and Melissa.”

“After sustaining an injury many years ago, I engaged the services of Jessica , Brendan and the team at Bourke Love. I would highly recommend the use of these great people as they took the time to understand my injury and were honest and professional in the mapping of my journey. I would have no hesitations in recommending their services as Jessica continually went above and beyond, and I have no doubt , that if I hadn’t engaged Bourke Love that I would have had very different outcome.

“Brendan made a terrible time in my life bearable. He was always one step ahead of the opposition, was always very positive and I have never met anyone who worked so hard and cared so much for his client. I know, without a doubt, my outcome would have been very different if I hadn't had Brendan Bourke and Bourke Love Lawyers on my side. I would recommend Bourke Love Lawyers without hesitation.”

“I feel very fortunate to have engaged the services of Brendan Bourke. Brendan has a a reputation of providing a caring and professional approach. I required a competent, dedicated lawyer and was recommended Brendan by a previous client. Brendan and his team went the "extra mile" and it was comforting to finally have someone standing in my corner with my best interests at heart. If you require this type of service you won't find better. Thank you Brendan and team.”

“After a work place injury in 2010, I was unsure of my legal rights and needed help navigating the complex ins and outs of the Work Cover process. I contacted Brendan Bourke who went above and beyond to explain my rights and went into bat from me multiple times to ensure that I was being treated fairly. I can highly recommend this law firm to anyone who may be in need of their services. Their professionalism is second to none and you will not find anyone that is more committed to helping you in your legal journey.”

“Brendan guided me on a path that I thought was too hard to walk. He made every step and the whole process seamless. His knowledge and experience in all the aspects of my claim provided me with great confidence that I chose the right solicitor. I have appreciated Brendan and his team for their down to earth and friendly approach. Bourke Legal should not be overlooked if you are looking for that personal touch in your claim. He was highly recommended to me by many others, and I will continue that same endorsement.”

“I cannot recommend Bourke Legal highly enough - Melissa Arndell in particular. For the past two years, Mel and her team have made an incredibly stressful process as seamless as possible. You will never be left in the dark, Mel and her colleagues stay in touch through regular phone calls and emails, and are so patient and caring to deal with. If you are injured at work, the first and best thing you should do is contact Bourke Legal.”
