EXPERTISE

Testimonials

Having never really needed legal services before, when I found myself in a serious motor vehicle accident, I felt out of depth, and that everyone who I was speaking to, be it police, doctors, insurers, I felt that there was no one in my corner, no one who had my back. That all changed the moment I first spoke to Emma and her team at Foye Legal. They took my hand and made me feel like I was being listened to. They spent the time to explain the process, my rights and helped me reach an outcome that I had never thought possible, an outcome that everyone else I spoke to said was impossible. I cannot express enough my gratitude to the team and Emma, who have genuinely made as big an impact on my life, as the accident did in the first place.

My wife and I were involved in a complex medical negligence case that spanned over 3 years. Throughout this challenging time, we were fortunate to have the support of Foye Legal, and in particular, our lawyer Emma. Her professionalism, dedication, and compassion made a world of difference to us. Emma guided us through every step of the legal process with clarity and care. She was always responsive, thorough, and genuinely committed to achieving the best outcome for our family. Thanks to her tireless efforts, we were able to reach a successful settlement.

- Daniele

Testimonials

Daniel was very professional throughout my divorce. He explained all the legal jargon and answered all my ad hoc questions which helped make the divorce process seamless

Testimonials

Daniel was so thorough and helpful we were amazed with his service and knowledge. We didn’t have an easy settlement, the previous owners left the home with 15k of rubbish left behind, kept postponing settlement and also broke back into the home once we settled. Daniel was always reachable when we needed him, spent a long time with our file due to the difficulty of the situation and even contacted us out of hours after settlement to guide us through our next steps seeing as the previous owners had broken into the home. Above and beyond he went and I couldn’t recommend him enough. Thank you for making such a difficult time for us run so smoothly, we won’t forget it and recommend you to all our friends and family going through the process.

Testimonials

Testimonials

I seriously injured my shoulder following an accident leaving me unable to do things people take for granted, like brushing my own hair and dressing myself. I felt teary and distressed due to the lack of independence and having to rely on my adult daughter to come around and take care of me. I specifically spoke to Diana because I was aware of her expertise in public liability claims and of her reputation for providing legal services in a personable and caring manner. Diana has demonstrated that she not only cares about the end result but how she goes about it, ensuring that my interest are a priority, above all else

- Carmel – Compensation client

Testimonials

Diana took over my rather complicated legal matter due to the lack of attention it was receiving by another lawyer. The other party was also not cooperating, and I was unable to achieve a resolution and put a traumatic event behind me, I was delighted with the way in which Diana made the entire process easier. She constantly provided me with the reassurance that my convers was being heard and that she understood what I was going through. She was strategic in the way she managed my matter and achieved a result far quicker than I anticipated, when it was all over and done with, my family and I were in tears with relief that I was free to move on with my life, the compassion I and my family received from Diana is highly commendable. I am now free from trauma of past events

- Elisa – Compensation Client

Testimonials

Diana has been there during the hardest time of my life. In 2013 I was hit by a car became a quadriplegic confined to a wheelchair. Diana guided me through the legal process, providing me with top quality advice, with outstanding professionalism. She is a leader in her field. She deals with the bug insurers and superannuation companies without difficulty. I am lucky to have had Diana and her team look after my matter because the service they provided was tailed to me needs. Diana took time out of her day to come to my home, rather than making me come to her. She resolved my matter with an outcome that ensures I will be looked after for the of my life.

Testimonials

Foye Legal is the best and only option when it comes to law matters. Especially Alessia Barilaro. I had a family matter and was looking for a firm and a lawyer that would listen to me, work with me and be compassionate about my case. I had been with two previous firms that I was not happy with before I had found Foye Legal. As soon as I got in contact with Alessia she helped she dropped everything and got my case up to date and working in my favour. Within a few court sessions a period of 6 months she had won me a no contact case.
