Brad Clyne

East Coast Lawyers is a caring law firm that takes pride in helping protect Bond University’s student community. They were proud sponsors of Bond University’s Judo Club during our international BBQ demonstration and promotion of Women Self Defence in the Gold Coast. With their help, we were able to raise adequate funds to have the Australian National Women’s Champion help teach at our school and give other female students a positive woman role model who can relate to their personal concerns and circumstances. Their support also allowed our judo students to enjoy aspects of our Olympic martial art beyond the tatami by giving us an opportunity to pursue other extracurricular and social activities such as student hikes and social events. The pride our people get from climbing Mt Warning to catch the sunrise is simply inspiring. East Coast Lawyers helped make this happen and more by contributing to our sport and investing in our growing club at Bond University. Thank you for your support Sean and Kris!

We were there in the beginning since the firm was a one man show. East Coast Lawyers took on our case when no one else would and we won against a very large organisation. They still give us the same service today even though they have grown into a large firm now. They know that the little people matter as well. Wouldn’t use anyone else. They stayed loyal to us, so we will with them. Wonderful service and people to deal with. J& D Turner

I was faced with a very serious situation and was unable to continue working in my industry.I was completely devastated when i realized i could no longer do my job.

I was made aware that Katherine at East coast was willing to look at my case.I had already lodged the paperwork what seem straight forward enough .

My claim was a TPD with my super fund. After over 12 months of trying to further my claim there was just one thing after another. I was clearly unable to get and definitive answer .

Katherine looked at my case and agreed to take it on .I cant tell you how relieved I was when Katherine took my case over. Katherine explained all the details of how she would approach it and also the costs and how that would be determined.

A few months later the case was sorted out and the Claim was paid out. My opinion and advise is to anyone with a TPD claim. You will need a good Lawyer. Katherine at East Coast Lawyers has proven the value of affordable legal
