I remember that in the aftermath of my car accident I really didn’t know my arse from my elbow, but I am so glad that I decided to go with you and Karina!
You make an incredible team, and once I made that decision to go with Stacks Goudkamp I never looked back.
I am really happy to have settled. I can now put this long odyssey behind me.
Karina did a masterful job in negotiating the settlement. She guided me through this with great skill and care.

Dear Karina,
Thank you, it is great to have closure and the means to manage a more secure future.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Stacks Goudkamp to anyone who finds themselves in a similar situation.
It would be impossible for anyone to navigate the process without good legal representation, especially when traumatised.

Hi Tom,
Thankyou so much Tom. We are so relieved it’s all over.
Karina is amazing and we are so thankful to her and everyone involved including yourself. We would also like to thank Patrice for all her hard work. She’s received many phone calls from us and has always been so wonderful to deal with on the phone. Also to Anna and Rene whom looked after my Workers Compensation case. They were also always there when we needed help and made the process so much easier for us.The worker’s compensation system is not a pleasant experience.

They’ve all reassured us many many times when when called or emailed in a panic. Things were always explained so well and showed us so much compassion along the way.
Thankyou to Karina for making yesterday a smooth process and making us feel more at ease with things and getting such a great outcome for us, you really all have changed our life and we really couldn’t have done it without their support and help along the way. We will be eternally grateful to you all.
Thankyou again.

Bob and Linda

Karina, I am honestly really happy with the outcome of this hearing and I would like to accept their final offer.
I am tired of the ongoing appointments and stress of having a claim and I would like it to end here. This is huge – I didn’t expect to get even close to this amount.
I can’t thank you enough for working so hard today in a high stress situation. This is incredible!

Yesterday, our daughter received a substantial compensation, thanks to your commitment and your work. For us, as her parents, it is a long and painful journey that has finally come to an end. We know that the fact that SHE suffered a brain injury in the car accident in Australia whilst on holidays from our home country, Belgium, made her case so much more complicated for you. It’s been almost 10 years that our daughter has been fighting to regain her health and build a life as an autonomous adult. This compensation will give her some freedom and allow her to be more secure.

During these almost 10 years you and your team have always been at our side with energy and tenacity. Thank you Tom and Karina for having accepted our daughter’s case and for having carried it through to the end, despite the many obstacles.

Thank you for supporting and encouraging her.

With all our gratitude.

If anyone has been unfortunate enough to have suffered a motor vehicle accident, I would highly recommend Stacks Goudkamp (Tom Goudkamp and Karina Goodall).
3 of my 4 children were involved in a motor vehicle accident – they were caught in the middle of a NSW Police highway patrol chase and were knocked into a telegraph pole at 80km/h by the car being pursued (who continued driving). The car was completely written off and my children were lucky to survive.

We were advised to seek legal help and we signed up with other lawyers. As this procedure was quite foreign to me, I was unaware of what standard protocol was and what I should have expected. Unfortunately, my son walked away with only 20% of his claim, whilst the other lawyers (not Stacks Goudkamp) kept the other 80%. With all the time and heartache that we went through, it was a disappointing result to say the least.
We did not sign off my daughter with them. She sustained the worst injuries and will suffer with them for the rest of her life. With the medications and financial assistance she will now require forever, we didn’t feel the measly 20% of any claim was enough..
Luckily, through word of mouth, we were Tom Goudkamp was highly recommended to us.
We were already well over $100,000 in fees with the other lawyers. Karina Goodall was able to reassure us that she would settle and we would not have to pay anything until after the hearing and settlement with her.
Karina met with me many times, including sometimes at a coffee shop near my home, which, as a time-poor working mother of four, I was incredibly grateful for.
Karina was able to be professional at all times as well as compassionate, caring, and able to explain things to my daughter so she was able to understand what was happening.
From the time of this accident to the final settlement was about nine years. It was unfortunate my other two children who were involved in the crash didn’t benefit from Karina’s expertise and compassion, but we’re glad at least my daughter was.
The outcome was amazing and so much more than we would have expected from xx and xxx. We could never have achieved this without Karina. From my experience across two other law firms, I could not recommend Tom Goudkamp and Karina Goudall from Stacks Goudkamp highly enough.

Valerie

Stacks Goudkamp were recommended to me after I sustained serious injury in a MVA in 2018. I first met Karina along with Tom Goudkamp whilst undergoing rehabilitation as a hospital inpatient. I was immediately impressed by their genuine interest in me and my situation and their resolve to ensure a satisfactory compensation outcome.
It has been over four years from accident to settlement. Karina has accompanied me on this difficult journey offering empathetic but highly professional legal advice.

Her negotiating skills were essential during the negotiations to close the settlement and achieve an excellent outcome.
I strongly recommend Stacks Goudkamp and in particular Karina Goodall for legal assistance in personal injury matters.

Dearest Karina,
Thank you!!! It’s been a journey the past 2 years and I will forever be grateful our paths crossed. You helped, guided and cared for me at a time I needed it most. At times pushing me outside my comfort zone when I needed it.
It’s one thing to be a great lawyer however it is just as important to be a great human being. You have nailed both!!!
Take care & all the best.

Hi Tom
Many thanks to you and your team. Karina is a STAR and passionate about getting the best and most for her clients. An absolute asset to your company!!!
I feel relieved, like a weight has been lifted and I can close that chapter and get on with what is next.
I had a great feeling when I met my partner, similarly I had a great feeling when I met you too. And it has been a great experience from the outset. Thank you for looking after me.
I hope I don’t know too many people who will need you for the same incident, however if I do I will be recommending you and your fantastic team.
All the best and thanks again.

Every step of the process both Tom and Karina communicated openly so we were well aware of what was happening along the way. Karina and Tom were kind, empathetic and caring. They made multiple home visits to our home 6 hours away from their office and were very genuine in wanting to know our story.

We will never be able to thank them both enough along with our Barrister Bill Fitzsimmons for guiding and representing me. I was awarded an excellent outcome based on the hard work of this incredible team.

My family and I are now able to move on with our lives. We will be forever grateful for their amazing professionalism and dedication to my case.

JAMES AND FAMILY

Can’t thank Karina and Tom enough for making the overwhelming complexity of seeking a just outcome from my accident, as smooth and efficient as it was. Their combined experience proved I was in the right hands and have made it possible to move on with life with a satisfying resolution.

I thoroughly recommend contacting them as the first choice.

It is hard to put five years into one letter of how thankful I am to have had you by my side. You have been my rock in this very difficult time. You have been so understanding, compassionate, and professional.

There was many times I wanted to give up and was very close to ending it all for a less then ideal amount, but your support and compassion restored my faith in the system.

I can’t describe or show how thankful I am for all the work you and the team put in, the weekend emails and late night calls to keep me in the know.

When it was time to settle, your fearlessness in negotiating an amount showed as we were able to settle for more then we could ever of dreamt of. You have set us up for life, and made it alot easier to re-establish my life with my injury.

It is bittersweet as I feel like I’m saying goodbye to a dear friend and support network even though you have said you’re still here if I’m in need.

For loss of a better word, Thank you so much for everything!

I am so thankful there are people like Tom and Karina who help families like mine. We had a terrible car accident with the whole family which killed my father and seriously injured my little brother and me. Our dream holiday in Australia turned into a nightmare and when we got back home to Germany we did not even get time to grieve.

Our life changed completely in one second. We were so lucky Tom was recommended to us by one of his former clients! Tom and Karina were very understanding and we felt that they really care about their clients. When we met them in Germany they took a lot of time for us and answered all our questions.

They were also very patient when we took ages to answer emails because it sometimes was too hard for us to focus on the accident. I have to admit I was a bit worried at the beginning because I did not know anything about laws in Australia but Tom and Karina took a lot of time to explain everything to me and made sure I understood. In the end everything happened exactly as they had been telling us or it even turned out better.

I could write a book as to how the last 4 years would have been so different if not for Tom, Karina and all the team at Stacks and Goudkamp.I was referred to Stacks by a friend while laying in hospital after an accident.

Being a working husband, father of 4 and very active, the accident and what the future held was extremely frightening until I spoke with Tom and his team.
The support, assistance, advice from the first conversation till even after the settlement was second to none from the team at Stacks. I actually felt part of a family that was there to really help.

Four years on and after the many downs, my children and I have our lives back. We have been able to rebuild a life that now suits us post accident.
We are unable to THANK YOU all enough, but know that you have changed our lives for the better in so many ways since the accident.
Wishing you all the best in everything to you and your team.
Warmest regards

We have been mandated by a young Australian who has been seriously injured in Switzerland to claim damages and compensation for pain and suffering. It was a highly complex international situation, both in terms of the facts of the case and in legal terms, in which we could always count on the excellent cooperation with STACKS GOUDKAMP.

The lawyers provided us with all the necessary support in the enforcement of the injured person’s claims in Switzerland by providing us with comprehensive medical records and reports.

At the beginning, it was very hard for me to shop around and decide who to use in my case but after two phone calls you have gained my trust and respect. I have been through many other legal cases either personal or for work, but this case even it is the longest (12 months) but it was with minimum stress.

Thank you for all the smart works and time put in for me and for providing me with valuable legal advices throughout my entire claim process. It is much appreciated. It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you and I wish you all the best in life and have no hesitation recommending Stacks Goudkamp in the future.

Following my daughters accident vs motorbike in September 2005 at just age 6, Tom Goudkamp took on her case the last 13 years we have all been looked after amazingly well and then Karina Goodall came along to assist on the case and wow – between her and Tom they were amazing and were able to settle out of court for more then we could ever imagine.

Dear Tom

First off all I would like to thank you in person, Tom and also the Goudkamp team for your support throughout the case and no matter what , you have always been there to give your best support in the hard times to solve the problems and the situation I was in .

After my accident I was referred to you by my good mate. He also had a similar case which just got finalised by Tom.

Since my accident I was told by my Drs that it was very hard to approve for the operation cost by the insurance company but my Lawyers at Goudkamp made the impossible become possible.

Straight away after few weeks I had given a date and was operated on, all I wanted was to be able to get my health back.

Not only my operation went so well (which I had a 75% chance of getting paralysed) but they got payments for me through the tough days. I had not been able to work but they have managed to get me a good payout to get myself back on my feet again for my family .

So if in future any off my family or friends look for someone they can trust and get looked after throughout their case I would always recommend Gouldkamp lawyers .

Once again I would like to thank you all for all your support.

Tom and Karina your personable approach and understanding following this unfortunate motor vehicle accident has been fantastic. You both provided me from day one with easy to understand information on the injury management and claims process. You helped navigate me through the process and provided me with good honest advice and negotiated with all concerned realistic expectations.

I am truly grateful for the diligence offered to me by yourself and the organisation. I am pleased with the overall outcome and can move forward without any additional stress. I would have no objection in recommending you personally to others that are suffering a similar incident.

Tom and Karina kindly went through the whole process with me in a very clear way and made sure I understood everything that was going to happen. Karina was available for any questions I had at all times with extremely quick responses and always kept me upto date.

Tom and Karina are extremely efficient and extremely honest, from the beginning of this whole process everything they had advised me happened. I am forever thankful for all the time and help Tom and Karina spent on my case. I didn’t think the outcome would be anything close to what they have acheived for me. Thank you Karina and Tom!

Hi Tom

What has opened my eyes throughout this whole process is the amount of people I have met who have survived an accident BUT not survived the whole process of making a claim. I appreciate they make it difficult to put off the unethical in our society from making a false claim but also made me wonder how many injured people are sitting behind closed doors suffering and alone and living a half life.

I remember the day in hospital when, on the advice of the Social Worker that my recovery would be a very long one and we needed legal help. I was still heavily medicated and burst into tears saying I didn’t do anything wrong I was just driving home so why do we need a lawyer.

Thank goodness we contcted your office as we had no idea how complicated everything could get or how long my recovery would take and who knew my partner, who had never been in hospital before would also have a life threatening experience too.

So again a huge thank you for the amount of work you have put in on my behalf.

You definitely made this whole journey easier to navigate.

Thanks and kindest regards

JOANNE

Hi Tom,

I am very happy with the outcome of this case, and I must add that independently of the outcome I’m very happy with the way you handled the case from the beginning. The accident I had is not a good memory and when I came to you, one of my main expectations was to be not being reminded of it too often. I really believe you did a great job in being efficient and precise enough so that I didn’t have to bring back these memories too often. I felt shielded from all this and for this, I thank you.

Moreover I’m aware that me moving overseas did not simplify the case, and you handled this very smoothly as well.

Thank you for everything, and do not hesitate to stop by next time you visit the France.
