Feedback Summary:
Matthew Forshaw and his team Highly recommended
Amelia Frisch from Carroll & O'DEA Wollongong went above and beyond for me. She has made me feel like a bit of weight has been lifted off my shoulders, and given me hope. Honestly, Carroll & O'DEA and Amelia's details will be added to my contacts as I feel there is no one better to help you with your issue.
Thank you so much Amelia. I truly appreciate You.
Carroll & Odea at Wollongong have been my greatest support after a workplace injury as a teacher. It took many years for me to recover and during that time I was on my own during COVID. During that time, my solicitor was the ‘contact’ person as my husband was stranded overseas. She went above and beyond her duty and I appreciate and won’t forget her patience and kindness.
During and since that time I have witnessed the professional and exceptional diligence of the Wollongong firm. They were dedicated to my matter battling the faceless insurance company and my employers. I am happy to say we were successful in proving negligence and finally, I am free of both. I doubt I would have had such a good outcome with another firm, and I highly recommend Carroll & O’Dea, and Matthew Forshaw, for their hard work and dedication to a successful outcome.
My wife was well represented by Matthew and the team. She feels relieved that the case is over. The compensation insurance company were the most disappointing to deal with. I am still awaiting for my reply from 3 years ago!
Thank you for helping my wife
I would like to thank the team at Carroll & O'Dea Wollongong. Matthew Forshaw and his team (Jada, Chelsea, Amelia) did a great job in representing me over nearly four years in a drawn-out workers compensation & work injury damages claim. Matthew and his team kept me updated and informed throughout the entire process with plenty of conversations/correspondence along the way. The case settled which was a great result allowing me to move forward. I would highly recommend Matthew and his team from Carroll & O'Dea Wollongong for anyone looking for a highly professional workers compensation Lawyer to represent them.

Lawyer Gillian Kirwan was welcoming and professional and willing to explain everything we needed to know in depth and she gave us peace of mind when we were nervous we would highly recommend her due to her consideration and empathy.
I have been in the workers comp system for 30 years and my long suffering solicitor retired so I found Matthew and his team to carry on the good fight. Well I have to say that these guys really get things done. I have fought with my insurance company for months and months over some trivial nonsense on numerous occasions. I get fed up and I contact these guys and they get on it no matter how small the infraction from the other party. What I'm owed is in my account lickity split! Thank you for your ongoing commitment to my case I can't recommend them enough.
I would like to thank Mathew Forshaw as well as all staff members from the Wollongong Branch of C O'D for their due diligence and professionalism, pertaining to my injury claim which lasted just over 6years.
This was not a straight forward matter at all and with the assistance of Matt and Brian, the barrister, we were able to achieve a suitable outcome.
Greatly appreciated.

I highly recommend Carroll & O'Dea lawyers. I couldn't have asked for a better firm to help with my claim. Matthew and Chelsea were very kind, professional and helpful. They made a stressful ordeal into a much more comfortable situation putting my mind at ease and less overwhelmed by it all. I would recommend them to anyone who needs legal help.
I had a, NOT AT FAULT, motorcycle accident and was in a bad way for some time. I spoke with Carroll & O'Dea, who were recommended to me by my work Union.
The injuries have badly, physically and mentally, affected me and Matthew Forshaw was with me for the journey and reassured me during the process.
The original settlement estimate was VERY close to the final settlement and, again, Matthew was a great help with everything.
I VERY much recommend Matthew and Carroll & O'Dea to help with any CTP claims you, unfortunately, may need to deal with.
Unfortunately I needed urgent assistance with updating my terminally ill mother's will. During an emotionally challenging time, I had the pleasure of dealing with Matthew Forshaw, who did everything possible to help me. Matthew went to great lengths to ensure the desired outcome was achieved in a very short timeframe, while still ensuring required legal processes were followed. A massive thank you to Matthew for everything he did to help me during this difficult time.
My experience with my Workers Compensation claim with Carroll & O'Dea has been great. I would like to especially thank Bianca Chieffe for her professional and caring approach. Bianca and her law firm made what was otherwise a stressful time a positive and rewarding experience. Anyone looking to be represented legally should contact Bianca if they wish a highly professional and dedicated lawyer.
I highly recommend Carroll & O’Dea Lawyers particularly Evelyn Garnett and her team. I received fantastic service and support for my complex and lengthy matter through to a very positive outcome. I can’t thank them enough.
Like me, if you have never dealt with lawyers before you know how daunting it can be to find the right one. Caroll &O'dea are professional, helpful, understanding and supportive. They advise of everything you need to know and keep you up to date with what's happening. I highly recommend them.
My compensation case was transferred from Maurice Blackburn, (they wasted 3 years just sitting on it .)
As soon as Carroll& O'Dea pick up my file they went to work on it, resulting in a settlement.
Bianca Chieffe was my usual contact,
She has been very helpful to me, she carried herself diligently with respect, compassion and maturity well beyond her years.It's allways a pleasure talking on the phone.
Thank-you so much Bianca.
