Many Brisbane negligence lawyers operate on a 50% fee cap—meaning they can take up to half of your compensation claims settlement amount. We think this is unfair. Gouldson Legal charges competitive hourly rates with a 30% fee cap to ensure the bulk of the settlement goes to you.

We believe everyone has the right to legal representation, regardless of their financial circumstances. That’s why every negligence claim we take on is covered by our No win, no fee guarantee. If you don’t win, we don’t charge.
Posted on Google Peter SilcockTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We started out negotiating directly with the CTP insurer concerned, after all their promises of a appointed claims manager to provide advice in our best interest we found that they were paraphrasing clauses within the act to reduce their claim lability. As a result we sought legal advice. We chose Gouldson Legal as they were less hi pressure with their advertising than some of the ambulance chasing companies and also offered a claim fee cap. From the outset we found Gouldson Legal totally professional and understanding of our situation. Through our claim process we were continually informed via phone and or Email of every eventuality, plus their advice on the procedures that the claim would go through and the amounts that we could expect to receive. The end result of our claim ended at 2.5 times the best offer that was made from our dealing directly with the CTP Insurer. The CTP Insurers want everyone to deal directly with them for one reason only, it will reduce their payout. From our experience you will need legal assistance and advice and as such we can only recommend Gouldson Legal.

Kaine ran my MVA claim for me with his paralegal Alicia. They have both been in the game for a very long time and know their stuff! And it shows! They kept in touch and kept me abreast of everything! Kaine is very down to earth which makes this whole process a lot easier! Alicia is a very experienced paralegal who is always on top of everything and who I know works tirelessly in the background. What a golden team! John Harvey later took over my file - he also knows his stuff as also been in the game a long time and he was super efficient in bringing my claim to a speedy conclusion for a great result! Thank you John!! Thank you Kaine, Alicia and John for your amazing professionalism and great work on my claim. I would recommend you all always. Ps - Trish is a delight who always has a smile as big as the sun!Posted on Google Lindy JonesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I will be eternally grateful I chose Gouldson Legal to handle my case. Kaine was always upfront and pleasant to talk with. There were never any unrealistic expectations as to the outcome of the claim. I will not hesitate to recommend this company and Kaine to anyone in the future should they need their services.Posted on Google Matthew KirwanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I hoped to never find myself in such a situation where I needed it, but Gouldson Legal was there to support me in my time of need. I'd like to thank Kaine for the abundant hours of work he put in. His thoughtful and compassionate approach towards my claim allowed me to understand and navigate an unfamiliar world. I would also like to thank Alicia for her support, prompt communication and management of my claim. There was never a moment where I felt unheard. Gouldson Legal has given me the opportunity to chose what comes next, instead of that choice being made for me, and for that I am very grateful. Sincerely, thank you.
