Burke Mead Lawyers - Newcastle

It is a very big step to seek legal assistance for matters that have a direct impact on your life and your families life, to find someone who has a genuine care, concern and commitment to help you navigate the legalities of your situation. Jamie - Burke Mead Solicitors has helped me with my Workers Compensation Claim with complete transparency, honesty and a sincere will to see the best possible outcome. From taking calls to answering questions, prompt email responses every time I have made contact, to even affording his time on multiple occasions to meet with me and discuss any questions / concerns in person and in a language and context I can understand…this offers such peace of mind especially during an already difficult and stressful situation. I cannot speak highly or sincerely enough of Jamie and the team at Burke Mead…I will be forever grateful for everything they have done for me and my situation.

I went to Burke Mead Lawyers after having concerns about the way one of the 'big', well-known law firms in NSW were handling my case.I found Jamie Burns, who guided me through one of the most stressful times of my life with blunt honesty, expert knowledge and the patience of a saint.Not only is Jamie a brilliant and consistently approachable lawyer, he's a former police officer and detective which made his insight into my WID claim and the relevant legislation invaluable.With Jamie's guidance, and the assistance of Emma Mead (a force to be reckoned with whom you need fighting in your corner!) I managed to secure a total WID compensation payout of seven-figures. Now, instead of being worried about my future, I am financially safe. It is the biggest relief in the world.There were many times in this process that I felt battered, exhausted and like giving up - but the support of Emma and Jamie not only got me through this, but over the finish line.I cannot recommend them enough for WID, and am certain they'd be amazing in successfully handling any legal matter.Burke Mead has restored my faith in the legal system - and lawyers, generally. They are truly the good guys in the legal field.Thanks, Jamie and Emma. You've given me my life back.

I have absolutely no hesitation recommending Burke Mead Lawyers. Emma, James and her team are in my opinion, best in the business, if it were possible to give higher than a 5 star rating I would! Emma and her team consistently provided excellent service, demonstrating professionalism and personal attention to all details of my matter. Having a solicitor and team who I knew were genuinely wanting the best outcome for me and not treating me as just another number made the world of difference to me (having previously engaged a Sydney law firm who were atrocious.). Emma and James took the time to keep me updated as to exactly what was happening with my matter and explained things to me so that I was 100% aware of my options and always gave me the opportunity to ask questions and make my own decisions. Emma and James were able to fix the damage done by my previous solicitors and get the best outcome possible when it came to settlement of my matter and I cannot ever thank them enough for this.After Emma and her team looking after me so well, as a past client of Emma's and trusting her professional judgement when we needed to find a conveyancer I knew that Emma was the first person I was going to contact for advice - Emma's network is fantastic and she was able to put us in touch with a wonderful professional who is assisting us - this is just another testament to Emma's professionalism in that she has a great network and relationship with other quality professionals . THANK YOU Emma, James and the Burke Mead team, from the bottom of my heart.

I reached out with a complexed enquiry that countless law firms shrugged off. Jamie Burns and his TEAM took the time to explain in details the steps necessary steps to move forward. They went above and beyond with their attentiveness, time and overall care about a person not just the next money grab. Thankyou !!

Burke Mead are an amazing legal firm that I had the privilege of using during my workers comp matter. My particular solicitor was Jamie. He went above and beyond. His communication was always clear and he ensured I understood my rights & obligations. He demonstrated empathy throughout the process & was very timely with any actions required. Can't rate the firm high enough, you will be looked after.

I had heard Emma Mead was an expert at her craft and had an initial meeting to find out for myself to get representation for my CTP Compensation Claim.Emma took on my case at a time when I was very vulnerable due to my injuries and trauma experienced due to a car crash I was a passenger in. She left me feeling that her knowledge, experience and reputation in the field of compensation, would give me the best outcome.Later Jessica Thomas, her Associate, came on board and together they kept me informed, listened, gave meaningful explanations and fought for me when questions arose from the insurer. Jessica is an astute operator and nothing was a problem for her. Her knowledge and expertise is to be commended.At all times I felt heard, if I didn't understand something they took care to ensure I did. Emma and Jessica took great care to ensure I got the best result and in fact went above that.Thank you Emma and Jessica, I can now move on with my life. I highly recommend Burke Mead.
