Garling and Co are Sydney's "5-star" Personal Injury Firm.

Google Rating
4.9

We are not flashy marketers, spending big dollars on TV marketing campaigns where all the effort goes into winning your business and often does not translate to achieving the best result. We are a boutique practice of lawyers that are Accredited Specialists in Personal Injury Law.

We do not take on every case, only those we know we can make a difference in.

We are proud of our 5-star Google rating and work hard to provide exceptional service to our clients to maintain this. 20% of our clients start their claims with other firms and are unhappy with the quality of work and service they receive. See our 5-star reviews from Google here.

Our clients talk about how moving to Garling and Co has changed their lives. If you need a change and are not getting the support you need, contact us today!

2. Barrister fees – these are the costs charged by a barrister if one is retained in your claim.

No Win No Fee Guarantee

Our “No Win, No Fee Guarantee” means that you do not pay any professional fees, barrister fees or disbursements to our firm if your claim for compensation is unsuccessful.

If we do not win your case and you do not receive any compensation, you will not pay us any legal costs.

We make this guarantee because we WIN 99% of our client’s claims.

Maximum Fee Guarantee

If your claim resolves prior to a Court hearing, we will cap our professional fees to no more then 35% (not including GST) of your settlement amount. This means that if the result is not as good as we hoped, not all your compensation will be paid in legal costs. There are no surprises when your claim is resolved.

This does not mean we charge 35% of what you receive, rather it means that if our professional fees are more than 35% of your settlement amount, you will be charged the lesser amount.

We guarantee our professional fees will not exceed 35% (exclusive of GST) of your total settlement amount if your claim settles at least 30 days prior to a Court hearing.

Emma and Rebecca have looked after my husband's workers compensation claim over the last 3 years now. We have had positive outcomes from these claims and are now pursuing a work injury damages claim.... They have been amazing to deal with. They are genuine and empathetic over what has been a very stressful time for myself and my family over these last 3 years. Nothing is ever too much for Emma and Rebecca and they are always available to communicate with. We would highly recommend Garling and Co! Thank you Emma and Rebecca.read more
