Carroll & O'Dea Lawyers Wollongong - Wollongong, New South Wales

Eila Jameson-Avey

Carroll & Odea at Wollongong have been my greatest support after a workplace injury as a teacher. It took many years for me to recover and during that time I was on my own during COVID. During that time, my solicitor was the ‘contact’ person as my husband was stranded overseas. She went above and beyond her duty and I appreciate and won’t forget her patience and kindness.
During and since that time I have witnessed the professional and exceptional diligence of the Wollongong firm. They were dedicated to my matter battling the faceless insurance company and my employers. I am happy to say we were successful in proving negligence and finally, I am free of both. I doubt I would have had such a good outcome with another firm, and I highly recommend Carroll & O’Dea, and Matthew Forshaw, for their hard work and dedication to a successful outcome.

I would like to thank the team at Carroll & O'Dea Wollongong. Matthew Forshaw and his team (Jada, Chelsea, Amelia) did a great job in representing me over nearly four years in a drawn-out workers compensation & work injury damages claim. Matthew and his team kept me updated and informed throughout the entire process with plenty of conversations/correspondence along the way. The case settled which was a great result allowing me to move forward. I would highly recommend Matthew and his team from Carroll & O'Dea Wollongong for anyone looking for a highly professional workers compensation Lawyer to represent them.

My wife was well represented by Matthew and the team. She feels relieved that the case is over. The compensation insurance company were the most disappointing to deal with. I am still awaiting for my reply from 3 years ago!
Thank you for helping my wife

I have been in the workers comp system for 30 years and my long suffering solicitor retired so I found Matthew and his team to carry on the good fight. Well I have to say that these guys really get things done. I have fought with my insurance company for months and months over some trivial nonsense on numerous occasions. I get fed up and I contact these guys and they get on it no matter how small the infraction from the other party. What I'm owed is in my account lickity split! Thank you for your ongoing commitment to my case I can't recommend them enough.

My experience with my Workers Compensation claim with Carroll & O'Dea has been great. I would like to especially thank Bianca Chieffe for her professional and caring approach. Bianca and her law firm made what was otherwise a stressful time a positive and rewarding experience. Anyone looking to be represented legally should contact Bianca if they wish a highly professional and dedicated lawyer.

I had a, NOT AT FAULT, motorcycle accident and was in a bad way for some time. I spoke with Carroll & O'Dea, who were recommended to me by my work Union.
The injuries have badly, physically and mentally, affected me and Matthew Forshaw was with me for the journey and reassured me during the process.
The original settlement estimate was VERY close to the final settlement and, again, Matthew was a great help with everything.
I VERY much recommend Matthew and Carroll & O'Dea to help with any CTP claims you, unfortunately, may need to deal with.

I highly recommend Carroll & O'Dea lawyers. I couldn't have asked for a better firm to help with my claim. Matthew and Chelsea were very kind, professional and helpful. They made a stressful ordeal into a much more comfortable situation putting my mind at ease and less overwhelmed by it all. I would recommend them to anyone who needs legal help.

I am fortunate to have Evelyn Garnett of Carroll & O'Dea as my Lawyer in my workers compensation case for a workplace injury. I was distraught and suffering with many medical and legal issues which overwhelmed me causing grief too severe to manage on my own. I have had invaluable support, advice and positive results with the expertise and professionalism of Evelyn and her team. I am very grateful for all they have done for me. I will recommend this legal firm to anyone I know of who may be in need of legal advice.
