- Ms D.C. 10th May 2007

I found Genders & Partners a great asset in my life, as they have been with me when I need them the most. I found Mr Genders and his staff to be highly professional, but yet personal. I would highly recommend Genders & Partners as they are a family orientated firm, and they will do everything to make you feel at ease when times are tuff. I've been a quadriplegic for 21 years. I still use and rely on Rod Genders and his staff, to be there when I need them and to have someone to call when the need arises. - Ms C.B. - 12th Jun 2007

I have had every confidence in Genders and Partners' handling of my family's legal affairs over many years. Rod Genders is always able to explain complex legal issues in a clear and concise way at a level which we can understand. Looking back now I appreciate even more what a tremendous job Genders & Partners did for us in helping us to get through the most traumatic time in our lives. At a time when my family was under extreme physical and emotional stress we drew much comfort knowing that our legal team was working so hard for us to improve the situation we were in. The case was one of great complexity and magnitude and was handled by Genders & Partners in a totally professional, thorough & competent manner but also in a personal & caring way. Their efforts on our behalf were unrelenting over the several years the case took to complete.- Mr R.C. - 7th Jun 2007.

Thank you for all your work on my Motor Vehicle Accident claim. I greatly appreciate the professionalism and courtesy your office afforded me throughout the 3 year process. There were a number of critical factors that influenced my decision to select Genders and Partners to represent my case. The first meeting was informative, comprehensive and delivered in a way that an ordinary individual could understand without any pressure to make a quick decision. Meeting with the principal of the practice made a strong impression that my case would receive the highest level of service available. The fact that the practice was well established with a good reputation within the legal community reinforced my decision to select Genders to represent me. During the entire period of the claim I was made to feel confident, fully informed about each step of the process, aware of the requirements relating to each phase and most importantly I was treated as a valued client dealing with the same people over three years (one of the things I’ve heard about other large firms is that the claim may get handled by a number of solicitors over the course of the claim. Dealing with the head of the practice made me feel I was in very good hands). From commencement to conclusion the entire process was conducted professionally with integrity, sincerity and a sense of urgency. I always felt I was given a thorough, detailed explanation of each step and plenty of time to grasp what it meant and adequate advice on the best way to tackle each obligation. At no time did I feel out of control or at risk. I was always made to feel understood and every effort was made to communicate in a clear, easy to understand language. The entire experience was well managed, personable and predictable. There were no surprises, everything went according to plan and was consistent with the explanation given at the very first meeting. As a client, I always felt that my wishes were being respected and I was treated as an individual and not just “another client”. The billing procedure is transparent, thorough and well documented. Again there were no surprises at the conclusion of the claim. The advice I was given at each phase was reliable, rational and realistic for my particular circumstances. I always felt informed and confident. I’m certain I would not have achieved such a successful outcome without the personal dedication to my claim that I received at Genders and Partners. - Mr C.H. 10th Nov 2007.

My experience with Genders & Partners was excellent. They made it possible to get the best possible outcome for me, which I am very happy with. I found you to be very honest with me, and guided me through my situation well. I would highly recommend your services to others in need. - Ms L.M. 25th Oct 2007.

Everything from start to finish has been done in a very professional and timely manner, and at a reasonable cost. They have been very friendly and helpful. - Mr R.W. & Mrs P.W. - 17th Jul 2007.
