        How We Help Queenslanders

        If you’ve been through an incident on the road, at work, or in a public place, knowing what to do next can feel confusing. That’s where our No Win No Fee promise comes in. We’ve supported thousands of Queenslanders in situations just like these:

        • Road incidents – whether in a car, on a motorbike, truck, or rideshare
        • Workplace matters – covering both physical and psychological conditions
        • Public liability incidents – slips, trips, and other unexpected events in everyday places
        • TPD claims – when health prevents you from working again

        Why Choose Trilby Misso Lawyers

        When you’re comparing No Win No Fee lawyers, the differences matter. Here’s what sets us apart:

        • Trusted: Nearly 70 years helping Queenslanders
        • Convenient: Talk with us by phone, online, or in person
        • No uplift fee: Unlike some firms, we don’t add hidden extras
        • Focused expertise: 100% dedicated to compensation law
        • Fast response: We’ll be in touch within two business hours

        Work issues often cause trauma that far exceeds the initial problem itself. Perhaps you’ve spent sleepless nights in pain, which puts pressure on your relationships. Or perhaps you’re shocked at the injustice of it all. All of which means that…

        Here’s how we’re different from every other law firm

        Trusted for decades

        We’ve been trusted by tens of thousands of people for more than six decades.

        Convenient

        We’ll meet you anywhere: phone, our office, a cafe, or your home.

        No win, no fee

        No win, no fee. Fixed fees too, and there’s no uplift fee.

        Speed

        We promise a two hour response time during business hours.

        Expertise

        We live and breathe
        compensation
        matters.

        Trilby Misso was Queensland’s first law firm to focus 100% on compensation law.

        We know it inside out, which is why we’re able to achieve an outcome faster than average.

        We’ve always aimed to make life better for our clients by doing all we can to help, providing a dedicated and compassionate team in your corner.

        Understanding
        Our Fees

        We believe in being clear from the start. Here’s what our No Win No Fee promise means:

        • When do you pay?
          Only if your case is successful. Nothing is paid upfront.
        • What about outlays?
          We cover costs like medical reports and expert assessments during your case, so you’re not out of pocket.
        • Do you charge an uplift fee?
          No. In Queensland, some firms add up to 25% extra as an “uplift fee.” At Trilby Misso, we never do.

        You pay nothing until you win.

        Why Choose Trilby Misso Lawyers

        What does “no win no fee” mean?
        It means you don’t pay us anything unless the matter is successful.
        Do you charge an uplift fee?
        No. Other firms may charge up to 25% more in Queensland, but we never do.
        What is the 50/50 rule in Queensland?
        The 50/50 rule is a safeguard under Queensland law that limits how much of your compensation can go towards legal costs. It ensures your lawyer can never end up with more than you.
        Are contingency percentages legal in QLD?

        No. Lawyers in Queensland can’t take a fixed percentage of your compensation. Fees must reflect the actual work done.

        What happens if I don’t succeed?

        You don’t pay us anything. The only exception is if a court orders you to cover the other side’s costs, which is uncommon but possible. 99% of the matters we handle are settled by negotiation.

        How long will the process take?
        Most matters take between 12 and 18 months, but it depends on things like liability, medical evidence, and negotiations.
        Can I switch lawyers mid-case?
        Yes. If you’re not happy, you can change lawyers. The new firm usually works out costs with the previous one.
        What should I ask before signing a No Win No Fee agreement?
        • The legal process applicable to your situation;
        • Your prospects of success;
        • Time lines;
        • Any important deadlines; and
        • The terms of the no win no fee arrangement.
        In terms of the no win no fee arrangement, it is important to understand:
        • How does the lawyer charge for their work, eg time based, task based;
        • When will you be obliged to pay legal fees;
        • What happens if you lose your claim;
        • Does the law firm fund any legal outlays (eg medical report fees and search fees), or
        • are you expected to fund that upfront;
        • If the law firm funds the outlays, do you have to pay for them if you lose your claim;
        • Does the law firm charge an uplift fee, and what percentage is that uplift?

        Here’s how our ‘no win no fee’ process works:

        • We chat

          It’s a free consultation.

        • We meet

          A free detailed discussion.

        • We plan

          You say ‘go’ – we build your case.

        • We lodge

          We present
          your case.

        • We conclude

          We reach a settlement.

        You pay nothing until you win

        We’ll also provide certainty and clarity, with a fee structure that has no ‘uplift’ fee, ever. You’ll pay nothing ‘til your claim is won.
