I would like to express my sincere appreciation to FERN LAWYERS, particularly Riqui Hu and Anu Venkatesh, together with their team, provided me with exceptional assistance with my workers compensation claim against my employer Busways.
They were professional, efficient, and very understanding throughout the process.
Their compassion and clear communication made a difficult experience much easier, and there expertise led to a successful outcome.
I'm truly grateful their support and highly recommend FERN LAWYERS to anyone needing knowledgeable and caring legal representation in workers compensation matters.
Disappointed is an understatement. 4.5 years later I have received less than 30% of claimed outcome which they took more than me. Constantly giving believed time frames and payout that was not even close to real outcomes. Pretending to care and reduce their costs trying because in reality they were incompetent and didn't fulfil the obligations. Numerous changes of lawyers, sometimes without correspondence or notice.
Fern Lawyers helped me get Workers Comp when I didn’t know how or what to do. They worked with me and we went to Arbitration/Conciliation and we won.
My case isn’t over yet, and Fern Lawyers are still working with me to get TPD, but I have been pleased with their results so far. They have been kind to me through what is a truly awful process and I’m looking forward to it all being over.
Thank you Mitchell, Amy, Xuelin, Mary, and Lan.
I had an excellent experience working with Mary Hajje from Fern lawyers. She was extremely thorough, professional, and patient throughout the entire process. Her expertise and attention to detail gave me great confidence, and her dedication ensured a successful outcome. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking reliable and effective legal representation.
Without doubt the best lawyers out there! A truely caring team that has hellped me navigate my TPD claim and been with me every step of the way. They fully understood my medical issues and took a lot of pressure off me for which i am really greatful. After securing my TPD payout i can now focus on my health. Thank you
I want to give Ruiqi, Mitchell and Anu a big thank you for assisting in my workers compensation claim. Although I didn’t end up in a damages claim but they still did their best in providing me with the advice and expertise in helping me when I was in so much distress! Thank you! You won’t be disappointed with Fern Lawyers!
I would like to thank Ruiqi Hu and Anu Venkatesh for their support and the positive outcome of my case. They listened to my concerns and assured me through out the whole process. I needed someone to hold my hand and guide me and they were there every step of the way.
Thank you Ruiqi and Anu for your patience and understanding.

Yesterday afternoon, I settled my Work Injury Damages claim after over four years off work due to a psychological injury. Fern lawyers was recommended to me by a friend who had employed their services for a similar matter.
From the very first meeting to now I cannot out into words how grateful I am to have been led to this particular firm to handle my case. This was the first time I genuinely felt my counsel genuinely cared about my wellbeing and not just potential billable hours. I would like to first thank Riqui and Anu as they were the solicitors I worked with the most. I was astounded by how above and beyond they went to ensure I was up to date with every progression in my claim. They went out of their way to call me before any appointment to remind me of the time and place and to offer any last minute support. It was an absolute pleasure to work with you and I would not be where I am without your tireless hard work.
Mitchell, your expertise, ability to break down complex legal jargon and laws into something clear, concise and easy to understand was outstanding. For a managing director to be so in touch with clients, solicitors and paralegals was a real surprise and all the hours you put in liasing with the barrister on the case did not go unnoticed. You even attended my conference in person to give some last minute advice and reassurance and that absolutely made a very difficult nerve wracking experience a lot easier. Thank you
Finally, Mr Paul Menary, the barrister who oversaw my case. I was in awe of your expertise, experience and genuine care for your clients. Never once in our interactions together over the past 4 years did I ever get the feeling you were more concerned about money than my wellbeing. Every step of the way, you were honest and transparent. Rather than guiding me towards a decision which stood to benefit you, you always told me what I needed to hear not what I wanted to hear. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to represent me and you are honestly a credit to your firm. Thank you for your honesty and integrity throughout this long process.
Wanted to say thanks to the team at fern who have consistently helped with my workers compensation claim since February of 2021. Your ongoing assistance and willingness to go above and beyond has made a stressful and difficult process significantly easier. Highly recommend to anyone who needs assistance with a work related claim.
Fern Lawyers have been a blessing.
About 2 and a half years ago I sustained an injury from work due to their negligence, I had continued to work for almost a year after injury been highly mediated to get through my shifts. I couldn't do it any more as this injury was and still is affecting me on a daily basis and getting worse. Fern lawyers have helped me recover my TPD through my superannuation as I sustained a permanent disability due to my injuries, without the hassle of filling out forms and collecting the documentation and information requested by my super fund. It was a fast process. The staff/lawyers at “Fern Lawyers” are amazing and very understanding. They have been my rock through this journey.
I am forever grateful to have had them in my corner fighting for me.
Legal matters present many unknowns, a learning experience, frustration, patience, anger and sadness. I found Mary and Lan at Fern Lawyers guided me with compassion and they answered my questions or found the answers to my questions. I had a successful outcome with Fern Lawyers and I would recommend this law firm to people with complex matters that require hard work and tenacity.
I couldn't recommend Fern Layers more. From the moment I spoke with Cedric, I knew I was in the right hands. I was feeling very stressed and overwhelmed due to my personal situation, but he made me feel supported and gave me hope. He truly listened to me at a time when I wasn't okay. You really appreciate this when you're struggling and feeling hopeless.
Later, I worked directly with Mitchel Hajje, the director of the company, and got a sense of the firm's culture. He is super professional, empathetic, and, I would say, philanthropic. He sat with me for an hour, offering the guidance and help I needed. I highly recommend them, especially if you're going through a tough time. You want to be represented by good, ethical people.
Thanks again, Mitchel, for your selfless guidance. It meant a lot, especially nowadays when everyone is so self-centered and time is so precious.
