“I highly recommend Bourke Legal. I approached them early on in a workcover injury, their help over several years has been outstanding. All of their team are friendly, professional, knowledgeable and caring. I would not be where I am on my journey of recovery if it was not for their help. My family and I are very grateful for all their hard work with my claim and case, helping give us a chance again after my injury shattered our lives. Thank you.”

“Such immense gratitude to Pania Watt and her exceptional team at Bourke Legal for their outstanding support throughout my worker’s compensation process! Pania's extensive knowledge and experience with the NSW workers compensation legal system is evident in every correspondence. She guided me through challenges, answering my (many) questions in a clear and easy to understand way, ensuring I felt informed and confident in my decisions. Her patience and invaluable advice were pivotal in helping me navigate and protect myself in this complex legal landscape. She truly advocates for her clients and empowers them to advocate for themselves and stand strong in pursuing the legal entitlements of their claims.

“The team at Bourke Legal (Kingscliff), Jessica, Megan and the other Jessica have been amazing. After injuring myself at work, I honestly didn’t know what to do. I felt abandoned by my employer and their insurance company. I was on work cover but I had no support. I was so stressed and worried about my future and was struggling to be positive about anything. After the first consultation with Jessica, I felt instant relief, like the world had been lifted off my shoulders. I now had a team of people that would explain things to me, listen to my concerns but most of all… support and guide me through the hardest most frustrating and difficult time of my life. Thank you so much. I highly recommend Bourke legal.”

“Excellent service from the start from Mr Bourke and Megan, then throughout the process with his whole team. Jessica P was exceptional and along with her staff made my journey a whole lot easier. I switched from another Lawyer early on in my workers compensation claim as I was receiving no feedback. Best thing I ever did, thanks to the Bourke Legal team for helping me.”
