How do you structure your fees?

We were among the first Queensland law firms to offer ‘No Win, No Fee’ services. Put simply, you pay nothing until we win your settlement through negotiation with the ‘at fault’ party or, as in most cases, their insurer. Learn more about our fees here.

What experience do you have with cases like mine?

To answer this question, we’ll need to learn more about your case or claim. Simply request your free consultation with us, tell us more about your case, and we can tell you about similar cases and the outcomes we achieved. Your consultation is “zero obligation” which means you don’t have to choose us as your lawyer.

Can you provide references from other clients?

Yes, of course. Simply request your free consultation with us, tell us what you’d like to know and the type of client you’d like to hear from, and we’ll gladly provide a reference from them. Your consultation is “zero obligation” which means you don’t have to choose us as your lawyer. Or, you can take a look at the “happy clients” on our website.

Do I have to pay for an initial consultation?

No! We will never charge you for your initial consultation. In fact, you pay nothing until you win your case. Our fees come directly from your end result, which means you don’t have to pay anything out of pocket.

See how we helped Mia secure $137,500 after her sexual harassment claim.

June 14, 2024 Return to case studies

As a young inexperienced worker, who could have blamed Mia* if she just accepted that nothing wrong happened at work, after all, this is what her employer and the insurer were telling her. Thankfully Mia called the team at Trilby Misso for some advice around a worker’s compensation claim.

The employee/employer relationship is one of trust, this is especially true for a young worker just recently entering the workforce. To have that trust broken is devastating and can have serious ongoing psychological impact. In traumatic circumstances, Mia was sexually harassed by her employer, causing psychological injury to the young worker.

Having the claim accepted was the first hurdle for the team at Trilby Misso. An appeal was prepared against the insurer’s decision to reject the claim. The tribunal considered the legal team’s submissions and overturned the rejection and the claim was accepted, this meant Mia could now access funding for her much needed medical treatment.

Once Mia’s medical condition had stabilised she was offered a Lump Sum offer of $17,392. Her legal team advised her that it was inadequate and that she should not accept the offer. They prepared her Common Law claim, gathered evidence about the harassment, as well as organising independent medical reports. Trilby Misso negotiated on her behalf and secured a settlement of $137,500, almost 8 times what she was offered by the insurer.

Given the circumstances of the event and the nature of the injury, it was incredibly important that the team at Trilby Misso act with absolute sensitivity. They were able to work with Mia to make sure she felt secure and her interests were protected and she received the best possible settlement for her future.
