Ru McKinnon
Jono, Sinny and everyone at WT Compensation Lawyers are the best car accident lawyers in Brisbane I’ve come across. The genuine care, compassion and human kindness they show to their clients is clear from the very first moment you speak to them. I cannot recommend them enough to anyone in need of a personal injury lawyer and would not hesitate at all to refer any of my family or friends. Thank you guys always for all your great work.
Colin Lee
I highly recommend Jono, Sinau and the entire team at WT as personal injury lawyers for anyone in Brisbane looking for the best representation. Jono is a step above other lawyers, both in knowing his craft but also in the way he treats his clients like one of his own family. From the very first moment I met him, he has treated me with respect, kindness and compassion and I am glad to say we have become good friends. WT are genuine and very good people who want nothing more than to do the best thing by their clients so THANK YOU for all that you do.
Laurence Twining
Life changing. Seriously. I would highly recommend Jono without any hesitation to anyone in Brisbane looking for the best car accident lawyer. The word grateful doesn’t even begin to express how I feel after having Jono look after me after my car accident claim. He has single handedly changed my life and has given me an opportunity to move on with a bright future after some of the toughest times after my accident. I previously used a big personal injury firm, one that has ads on tv and big marketing budgets for an old work accident and the experience isn’t comparable at all. Care, empathy, compassion, kindness and always had time for me, no matter what time of day/night or how silly my question was. Jono always made me feel like I was important and always kept me updated with everything that was going on. I only wish I had used WT for my old work accident. My result I got far exceeded my expectations and is only a testament to the great personal injury lawyer that Jono is. If you’re still looking for a car accident lawyer just seriously stop and give Jono a call. You will not regret it.

I can’t thank Jono enough for his outstanding work after my motorcycle accident. His dedication, expertise, and genuine care made all the difference in my case and surprisingly turned a horrific situation into a positive one for me. From day one, he took the time to understand my situation, became a very real pillar of support for me, and kept me informed every step of the way. Jono’s strategic approach and relentless advocacy got me a life changing outcome beyond my expectations. If you’re searching for the best personal injury lawyer in Brisbane who truly goes above and beyond, Jono is your go-to guy. He’s also a great bloke which I’m sure is clear to everyone who has the pleasure of crossing paths with him. I’m so grateful for his expertise, support and friendship and writing this review is just a very small way of me thanking him for changing my life.

Sinau and the team at WT Compensation Lawyers have been nothing short of amazing. From the beginning, they made me feel comfortable with the process and were so easy to contact. Sinau was very professional and always calling me to keep me updated with my claim. He would always go out of his way to make sure my family and I were okay which I am really grateful for. His kind words and professional advice during a dark time in my life was the glimmer of hope that I needed to keep going. I will always be recommending Sinau and the team at WT to my friends and family, as I truly believe they are the best WorkCover lawyers in Brisbane. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for looking out for your Pasifika people Sinau. It is rare that we see people like you who genuinely care for our community and for that I thank you.
