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.
All my very best.

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.

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.

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.

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.
SCORE – 5 OUT OF 5

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.

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!

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.

Your natural, approachable and kind nature has helped us to get through this intense period of investigation and negotiation. The unborn baby is fine and we expect the birth in the next few days. We now we wish you both professionally and privately all the best, lots of strength and best health!

Best wishes

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

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. Thanks to their cooperation we were able to achieve an outstanding result for our client. We can unreservedly recommend STACKS GOUDKAMP to others.

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.

We know our daughter will always be looked after now but without Tom and Karina our journey could of been a lot different

If I ever needed their assistance again I would not hesitate to contact these guys.
Thanks

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 have always been accomodating to myself and family throughout this tough time.I have no hesitation recommending Stacks Goudkamp in the future.

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.

I would recommend Stacks Goudkamp lawyers to anyone as they are not only extremely professional but also very compassionate. 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!

Their communication was succinct and professional and my awarded claim was significantly higher than my requested bottom line for which my family and I are entirely grateful. Life certainly feels like it is getting back on track with a much more secure trajectory. I would recommend them without hesitation.

Without Tom and his amazing team working in the back ground we would still be struggling. Kind, compassionate, understanding and fairness are the words I would use to describe Tom and his team’.
Thanks

I recognise that we are so blessed to have been able to claim support as this is not the case for so many people who lose loved ones in so many ways. Sadly there is no amount that will bring our loved one back and I would honestly give everything for that.

Thank you again, this claim gives us so many opportunities to make a positive difference in our lives and I am hoping to make a difference in the lives of others who need it too.

I am looking forward to also thanking Michael Lee for the fantastic recommendation. Your communication and professionalism whilst showing huge amounts of passion and care for our case and our family were second to none.

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

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

Overall I’m fully satisfied with how you handled the claim and I’m very glad that used your firm.
Thank you for everything, and do not hesitate to stop by next time you visit the France.

Regards,

It takes emotional intelligence as well as skill and professionalism to deal with such issues.

With gratitude.

The case was long and at time stressful, however they kept me up to date with every aspect in layman’s terms which helped me understand the legal side of the procedure.

I was very pleased with the final result Stacks Goudkamp achieved for me, which will help me get on with my life after a long drawn out case. I would not hesitate to recommend Stacks Goudkamp to any of my family and friends should they ever need a law firm to represent them in a claim for a personal injury case.

Again a special thank you to Mr Goudkamp and his team for representing me in my case and the results they achieved.

Keep saving the world!

Warm regards

Once you have your thoughts together and you are starting to heal the financial impact hits you and this is when you need to seek legal help. Luckily for us we were referred to Stacks Goudkamp Solicitors in Sydney. As we lived in Queensland the legal system is different from state to state.

Tom Goudkamp phoned me personally and explained the process of getting our claim started and from then we knew that with Tom and his excellent staff and we would be in very capable hands. Tom kept us up to date until the finalisation of our claim.

We would like to thank him sincerely.

However, after today’s amazing result, 2014/15 is going to make it all almost worthwhile (although I wouldn’t advise getting hit by a car).

I cannot stress how much today will change our lives for the better, and it wouldn’t have happened without your hard work, skill and dedication.

So once again, thank you all very much.

With my most sincere gratitude and appreciation.

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

Thank-you for achieving the settlement that needed all your agility and insight and hard work.

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.

Once again thank you for taking my mother’s case. I wish you and your office all the best and please take care.

They listened & guided me to a settlement I was happy with. No amount of money can give me back the time in recovery but the team here helped me through, with kindness & compassion. Thank you, for me this team was worth every last dollar of their fees.
Many people say solicitors simply take your money, for me Stacks Goudkamp & the team are worth every dollar of their fees. They are always there to help & listen to your needs & questions & guide you in some things you may not have even known you are entitled to in the course of the recovery of an accident. Thank you to the team at Stacks Goudkamp.

Tragically Mum has since passed away as a result of her injuries but thanks to Tom and Karina, her care was covered by Lifetime Care.
Tom and Karina have been a constant source of support, professionally and emotionally. They continually demonstrated empathy, compassion and expertise.
I’ll be forever grateful to her and Stacks Goudkamp.
