What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

People navigating workers compensation, third party insurance and public liability claims form the bulk of the feedback for this Newcastle practice, and the recurring theme is how well clients are guided through schemes they describe as overwhelming. Several customers highlight the clear explanations provided at every stage, with complex insurance processes made straightforward and transparent, especially for those recovering from injury. Named solicitors recur throughout the accounts: Jamie Burns is repeatedly described as empathetic, responsive and generous with his time, Emma Mead as warm and thorough, and Jacob, Reilly, Sean Wright, Keeley, Sarai Sandral, Kim and Jackie all earn individual thanks for their patience, courtesy and administrative support.

An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the length of some matters, with one family noting two and a half years of consistent care without any loss of thoroughness. Clients consistently describe being kept informed, treated with respect and made to feel comfortable with each decision, and the outcomes achieved in workers compensation and civil liability disputes are regularly attributed to the firm's expertise, honesty and willingness to go further for the people it represents.

I engaged Burke Mead Lawyers during a workers compensation situation and found Burke Meade Lawyers to be a excellent law firm. They were very well educated in workers compensation law and were fair and honest and very good at what they do !! My solicitor Mr Reilly D was responsive and easy to deal with. Because of Burke Mead Lawyers I was able to settle the situation and was very happy with the outcome !! I would recommend Burke Mead Lawyers to anyone involved with a workers compensation matter. Thank you Burke Mead Lawyers

If you’re making a public liability claim or need legal advice/assistance, I highly recommend Bourke Mead Lawyers. Their team is extremely professional, knowledgeable, and supportive throughout the entire process. They made everything straightforward and stress-free with their expertise and clear communication. A special thank you to Mr. Sean Wright and Ms. Emma Mead, who handled most of my claim. Both are outstanding solicitors—professional, dedicated, and highly experienced. I truly appreciate all of their hard works and commitment to achieving the best outcome for my claim:) I would also like to acknowledge the entire team at Bourke Mead Lawyers, as everyone played their part exceptionally well. Thank you all for your excellent service. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Bourke Mead Lawyers again and highly recommend to everyone seeking legal assistance:)

Emma and Rielly were wonderful to deal with. They were considerate and thorough over the 2 1/2 years that it took to resolve our case. They did a great job of helping us to understand the 3rd party insurance scheme which can be very overwhelming especially when recovering from an injury. We highly recommend Emma and Rielly to anyone seeking help with a 3rd party insurance claim

Emma and her team worked so professionally and showed compassion to my situation. The communication was excellent and my common law claim was settled as soon as it could be. I was kept informed and included throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend this business for your common law claims

Jacob was exceptional. He was patient and kind whilst practicing with speed and expertise through a changing legal environment that was complex and challenging. He took great care of our family and we are very grateful.

I found the Workers Compensation System to be very difficult to navigate. People kept asking me, ‘have you got a good lawyer?’ How do you really know that until you go through it? Well now I’m through it, and now l know that l had a great team of lawyers. Burke Mead Lawyers never left me wondering, were always contactable, proactive, professional and provided the right advice, guidance and direction. They treated me with empathy, dignity and respect. If you’re looking for a lawyer with determination to get the right outcome, I couldn’t recommend Emma Mead, Rielly and her wonderful team enough”.
