Henry Carus & Associates - Box Hill, Victoria

In February 2020, a slip and fall in a supermarket drastically altered my life. Initially, I thought I could manage discussions and expectations with the supermarket however, very quickly this process became too much to manage myself.

A few months after my fall, I sought the assistance of Henry Carus & Associates and was fortunate to be assigned David Halhead as my legal counsel to represent me.

Over the course of the past 4 years, whilst I was managing increased emotional, psychological and physical stresses and pains, David took the time to know me, to understand me, to grapple with my complicated case and support me to navigate the complexities of the legal system with empathy and expertise.

Whilst maintaining a professional approach at all times, I felt comforted by the fact that during this time, David was a dependable ally and trusted advisor. I knew he genuinely cared about my wellbeing, my case and ensuring the final resolution aligned with my expectations.

Without a doubt, I highly recommend Henry Carus & Associates. I am confident in the collective values of their team, however, if you fortunate enough to be assigned David Halhead, be comforted with the knowledge he will relentlessly advocate for your best interests at all times.

From my first contact on chat through to mediation the team at Henry Carus have been thoroughly professional, caring and given me accurate advice. All communication was with a clear purpose. I was supported with compassion by each person who interacted with me. Meeting Henry at the office and sharing stories was a delight. Georgina has guided me along the way. Meeting Eliza at mediation reassured me of the depth of research and work done in preparation for my case. The integrity of Henry and staff shines through. I am so pleased with myself for making the choice to ask a simple question initially that has provided a successful outcome for me. I can't thank them enough and would highly recommend Henry and his team.

I made an appointment on Thursday last week to see a solicitor in regards to making an injury and a medical malpractice claim.
The appointment was made for 4pm on Thursday the 5th. They stressed that I be on time as their office closes at 5pm.
They phone me on Friday and ask if they can move the appointment to 3pm. Again stressing that I be on time.
They phone me yesterday (4th) to confirm my attendance and to ensure that I be on time.
I arrived 5 minutes prior to 3pm and was told to take a seat as she wouldn't be too long, giving me the impression that she was in the office with another client.
After 25 minutes I am told that she is stuck in traffic.
My time is just as valuable as the next person's.
Not even a phone call to let me know that she is running late.
This is by no means a way to make a first impression.
If you press me to be on time and you are in excess of 25 minutes late to the initial appointment do you honestly believe that I would place my trust in your capabilities to represent me?
What I was shown today was total disrespect.
This is not how you present your services to potential clients.
I suggest you brush up on your time management and common courtesy skills, because this has cost you a very lucrative client.

I have already recommended HC and David to a very close friend of mine , and I believe that’s the highest level of recognition.My case was not straightforward but David was relentless in pursuing all possible options to ensure we were able to submit a claim .I contacted hc within a month of my accident and first met David when we both attended my accident site and throughout  the 5years of preparing for my claim I have been easily able to discuss it with David , whilst his team  regularly contacted me to gather information, make appointments etc .During negotiations David’s explaination helped me to understand the process and this enabled me to accept a settlement that i understood and will contribute to a comfortable financial future .Vikki
