Who we are
Gordon Legal is a law firm that helps everyday people when they need it most.
Our lawyers have decades of experience winning hard cases for everyday people. We talk straight, we listen, and we are great at what we do.
Most importantly, we look after every client and their claim with compassion and understanding.
No win, no fee
Help when you need it most without the added stress of upfront legal fees – engaging a no win, no fee lawyer. When you need legal help, understandably, the first thing people often think is ‘can I afford it?’ To address this, our Senior Partner, Peter Gordon and Partner, Paul Henderson pioneered the ‘no win, no fee’ system to create greater access to the legal system.
Compensation Lawyers
Our law firm has a specialist team of compensation lawyers in Melbourne and Geelong. We have helped and fought for individuals just like you, from all over Victoria, who are in need of legal services relating to their claim for compensation.
We offer our expert services on a No Win, No Fee basis which ensures that our commitment to your individual claim remains our top priority.
Established in 2009, we are proud to carry a strong tradition of fighting for individual rights in cases of workplace negligence, car accidents, medical negligence and other claims for personal injury compensation. With us, it’s personal.
As compensation lawyers in Melbourne, our services are available for our clients to access in all kinds of ways. These might include direct representation, assistance with paperwork and where to file your claim forms, dispute resolution and fighting against a decision to reject your claim, or just general legal advice relating to the process and language you have encountered throughout your claim and which may seem a bit daunting, unclear or unfamiliar.
Injury claims come in all shapes and sizes and they are not often straight-forward or easy to understand for the individuals involved. If you have experienced an injury then it is entirely understandable that you may feel vulnerable, distressed and uncertain about how to proceed. When you engage a team of personal injury lawyers like Gordon Legal, our job is firstly, and primarily, to help you understand your legal rights and entitlements relating to the circumstances in which you have received your injury. Often this is the most confusing part of proceeding with your claim and receiving legal clarity from our team of experienced compensation lawyers in Melbourne can help you to feel empowered about your recovery and better prepared to proceed with treatment options and the rest you need to recuperate.
Medical expenses, transport costs, accommodation costs for support and carers like your family members and close friends – all of these expenses can add up and worrying about whether you can financially support yourself throughout your treatment can both directly and indirectly affect the success of your recovery.
You may be unsure whether your injury qualifies for compensation, which institution or governing body you need to submit a claim to, what sort of time limits apply to your claim, and how to fill in the paperwork. For example, when you sustain an injury in circumstances like vehicle accidents or slips and falls in a public space, it may appear unclear to you who is responsible for helping you to recover and how they are responsible. You may not believe that you correctly followed the process required for reporting your injury or the treatment that you received for it.
If you have sustained injuries in a car accident involving privately owned vehicles, or another type of road accident involving public transport, we can help you to locate the appropriate Victorian government body which will assess and handle your compensation claim. Often this is the TAC and there are time limits and specific guidelines which need to be adhered to for ensuring the best outcome for your claim. Compensation can come in the form of direct payments to you and payment directly to your treatment providers.
If you have sustained injuries or experienced distress relating to a medical procedure, prescribed medicines or treatments, you may be entitled to a claim for compensation against that health care provider. Serious injuries can often be debilitating, and the effort involved in filing for compensation can appear overwhelming, particularly if you are in the process of recovering. Our team of legal professionals possess extensive experience in helping people with serious injuries and understand how to offer the empathy and understanding that you need to proceed with your claim.
As expert compensation lawyers in Melbourne, our legal advice is designed to explain the complexities of the legal process which may relate to your insurance claims, public liability claims, workers compensation and medical negligence claims in a frank and honest way so that you understand how and whether you are prepared to proceed.
The first step in this process is to get in touch our team of Victorian compensation lawyers in Melbourne. Our office can be contacted directly by phone on 1800 21 22 23 or you can submit the details of your claim through our website portal and one of our lawyers in Melbourne will contact you for further details if they are required. We will offer you our honest legal opinion for your claim for Melbourne compensation and you can choose to proceed further with us if we believe we can successfully help you, or not. You are under no obligation to accept our services if they are offered to you.
If you are aware of some of your entitlements relating to your personal injury, such as workers compensation payments, and you believe that they have not been made available to you, then we offer services like representation and mediation which will help you fight for your rights and entitlements. Our team includes dedicated WorkCover lawyers with specialist legal skills and experience relating to industrial accidents, industrial negligence and asbestos exposure. We also have highly experienced compensation lawyers in Melbourne who can help you with superannuation claims and entitlements, including superannuation insurance.

What our customers say
Gordon Legal have been wonderful from start to finish. I can’t thank them enough for their diligence, professionalism and attention to detail. Everything explained clearly and they have your best interest at heart. I have not had much experience dealing with solicitors so like anyone similar you start a bit nervous with the unknown. That was eleviated quickly by their people skills, it was outstanding, again thank you to all the team. Oh and for the record, I am not a family member, have any connection with the company or have any reason to not post how I genuinely feel.
Chris

My solicitor Ana was such a warm and relatable person. She cared about me, my journey and worked out what was best for me.

Marnie
Our family found ourselves in the unfortunate position of requiring legal representation after the death of a family member. We were pleasantly surprised at the compassion and emotional support we received from Anastasia at Gordon Legal. Their legal advice and expertise was excellent, they endeavored to bring closure to our family as quickly as possible. No question was too much trouble, and these were always answered promptly. We wished we had engaged their services much sooner in our journey. We have no hesitation recommending Gordon Legal, we received great personal, prompt and professional service.
Maxine
I found Gordon Legal, particularly Anastasia and her team, to be empathetic, courteous, supportive and a genuine pleasure to deal with. I would like to offer my sincerest appreciation and gratitude for all your hard work. Congratulations!
Michael
After my car accident, my future looked bleak. Eventually, my doctor had done all she could and referred me to a lawyer at Gordon Legal, because she was concerned that the TAC wasn’t giving me the right answers to my questions about the claims process. From the get go Anastasia Eleftheriou and the team she assembled at Gordon Legal put me at my ease. I am delighted with the outcome she achieved for me. My only regret is that I didn’t seek out help from Gordon Legal sooner.
Paul Hummel
When WorkCover rejected my claim, I didn’t know where to turn or what to do. I’m so glad that I found Jenny Forti at Gordan Legal. Jenny guided me through the Court process and ultimately persuaded WorkCover to accept my claim. During the process Jenny and the team at Gordon Legal kept me informed of the progress of my case. I couldn’t be happier with the way they looked after me and I have no hesitation recommending Gordon Legal to anyone who needs legal help following an injury.
