From our clients

The best decision I ever made was to contact Wright Lawyers to help me with my military compensation. After having gone through the correct procedure through DVA twice and coming out with nothing both times I told myself enough is enough and I wouldn't just lay down, after talking to a friend who got me onto Wright Lawyers I decided I had nothing to lose with the no win no pay policy they offered me. Dean Wright thoroughly exceeded my expectations and has changed my life for the better, can not recommend Wright Lawyers services enough, not only did I receive monetary compensation, I received health cover for my conditions for the rest of my life which is priceless.
Oliver, Newcastle NSW

Achieved a great result for me including maintenance of my 'No Criminal Record". Thankyou! 
Nathan, Gladesville

Fantastic guy and very knowledgeable. Do not hesitate to use Dean’s services.
Hess

Thanks to Dean and his professional no-nonsense approach, I received a great outcome. I am so appreciative for all that Dean has achieved for me. Would highly recommend him.
Mary Sue

Wrights Lawyers has helped me through my military compensation claims to achieve an outstanding result and well above my expectations. Dean Wright who has a vast in-depth knowledge of military compensation law coached me through thick and thin as I had just about given up fighting DVA.

I highly recommend Wrights Lawyers for any ex-defence personnel out there who wish to inquire about all the entitlements. I had no idea of just how much I was entitled to.

Thank you Wrights Lawyers particularly Dean.
Michael Neal

Dean was very professional and offered great advice regarding my case. Dean achieved a very favourable result for me, better than I expected in fact, and was an expert in doing so.
Danny John

I received outstanding service and the representation I received got me out of a lot of trouble
