Client Testimonials
I had a great experience with Kye Bruce at CBD Lawyers. When my employer contested my worker's compensation claim, Kye skilfully managed my case, organising expert medical testimonies and guiding me through the entire procedure.From day one Kye was very supportive, explaining every process and potential outcome, recommending appropriate strategies and seeking my approval for each stage. Kye’s efforts secured a very favourable outcome.Without hesitation I recommend Kye Bruce for any matter pertaining to workers' compensation.Gerard
If I were to suffer the misfortune of a workers compensation claim again I would not hesitate for a second to employ the services of Kye Bruce (and Mia Levy) at Coastal Compensation Law Specialists. His professionalism and knowledge regarding my claim were excellent. Always personable and prompt to reply to any query he manages to ease any stress and anxiety that a workers compensation claim may cause. Highly recommended.
I had the bad fortune to be involved in a car accident that was not my fault. The at fault driver’s insurance company claimed my injury was “minor” and refused to cover medical costs. I had the good fortune of having Kye Bruce act on my behalf. Kye is caring and professional. He fought the insurance company for my rights and ensured they met their obligations. I am very happy with the way in which he dealt with my case from start to finish. Would highly recommend!

If I could leave more stars for CBD law, in particular my solicitor James parkin, I would.I met James over 4 years ago, at which time I seeked his help regarding a workplace injury matter. during this time I have been a client of James and have recieved the most efficient, professional and honest advice/services you could ask for in a solicitor.James's professionalism, attention to detail, promptness, genuine care and understanding of his clients needs is second to none.James Is capable of providing his speciality services at the highest level, whilst also working with his clients needs, and most importantly allowing his clients to have an input in important decision making to allow for the best outcome possible. James is also very compassionate to his clients which i believe drives him to get the best outcome for his clients in the shortest amount of time. i was amazed at James ability to manage, supply and submit documents so quickly. James is completely honest and transparent regarding all matters, which leaves you feeling completely informed of every detail. He also works alongside a very efficient, kind and courteous secretary named "Margaret" which I believe further compliments his position at the firm. I am now thankfully at the end of my matter which resulted in the best outcome possible, but I would not hesitate to recommend James parkin and CBD law to anyone, furthermore I wouldnt recommend anyone else! Thankyou James and the team for your professional services.

I met James Parkin, Special Counsel of CBD Law/Coastal Compensation Law Specialists when I needed legal assistance after suffering a serious injury at work. James was absolutely phenomenal. He worked tirelessly to ensure a fair outcome for me and his communication throughout the management of my case was impeccable.
James responded almost immediately to every email or voicemail I left regarding my case. He handled all aspects with professionalism, kindness and understanding. His knowledge and experience was amazing and I felt comfortable and relieved knowing that he was managing both my Work Injury Damages (WID) and Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claims.

I want to thank Coastal Compensation Law Specialists (CCLS) and specifically James Parkin, Senior Associate, for taking my work injury damages case (and my workers compensation claim) and finally getting me the closure and a wonderful outcome that I so desperately needed. James’ expertise, guidance, advice, availability, support, patience, empathy and compassion meant more to me than I could ever express. I knew I was in very good hands from my first meeting with James. James is a true gentleman and an exceptional lawyer. I’m so grateful for everything James did for me.

In 2015 I suffered a workplace injury that resulted in a major spinal surgery. My employer looked after me as much as legislation requires, however I have been left with physical restrictions that will affect me permanently. I was initially concerned that seeking compensation through legal means would be a difficult task – taking a lot of time out of my already tight schedule, however the entire process was made extremely easy by the staff at Coastal Compensation Law Specialists in Gosford.
I would like to personally thank the staff at CCLS, in particular Kye Bruce who was available to return my many calls within the hour and provided sound advice on each and every occasion. Kye made things really easy for me and I would highly recommend the services of Kye and CCLS to anyone seeking compensation for an injury.
Hi Kye, thank you very much for handling my case against the Insurance company and getting my medical expenses dispute awarded in my favour, what a professional you are. All your hard work behind the scenes is a credit to you, you always filled me in with updates and made me feel very comfortable when I attended your office. A true professional.
In December 2016, I suffered injuries to my shoulder, wrist and ankle when I fell disembarking a charter boat. I had to undergo surgery and Christmas was ruined for my family and I, as I couldn’t do anything physical and I felt extremely down and uncomfortable due to my injuries. To make matters worse, I had to give up my sole trader business as I could not continue working, which meant that I did not have an income. I began to stress when I thought about what the future would hold for me. I contacted Kye Bruce at Coastal Compensation Law Specialists and met with him to discuss my options. Kye then began to take all the necessary steps to investigate the circumstances of my incident and prepare my claim for negligence. Through his diligence and hard work, I recently received compensation for my injuries. I am grateful that I approached Kye and his team at CCLS to represent me in my personal injury claim.
I was involved in an accident in May 2017 where I was a pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle. I sustained both physical and psychological injuries as a result of the accident. I needed legal assistance with making a claim against the relevant CTP insurer and luckily I contacted Coastal Compensation Law Specialists (CCLS) who helped me prepare and lodge the claim forms in time. James Parkin, Senior Associate, was most helpful and sympathetic throughout the whole process. I was very traumatised by what happened to me in the accident and James was accommodating and supportive in the way he advised me. I always got to meet with James or his colleague, Kye Bruce, regarding my claim which resolved recently. I got an amazing outcome and I am very grateful to James, Kye and the team at CCLS for their assistance.
I have found the team at CCLS empathetic, sincere and compassionate. They used their knowledge and professional skills to ensure the best possible outcome. Communication was clear and understandable. I would recommend CCLS to anyone who has experienced a workplace injury and requires legal counsel.
Following a successful outcome, I was advised by CCLS to pursue a further compensation claim for Work Injury Damages. I achieved a very favourable resolution of the Work Injury Damages claim as well thanks to CCLS.
James Parkin and the team at CCLS were very understanding, compassionate, thorough and personable in the provision of their services. James was really supportive and took the time to meet me face to face and made sure I understood every aspect of the claims. I cannot thank James enough for the support he gave me through the whole process – it was so nice to have someone on my side for a change! I was always well informed and felt comfortable with the advice I received at each stage of the claims. I am very grateful for the assistance of CCLS and would recommend them to anyone with a potential compensation claim.

Approximately 18 months ago I was in need of a lawyer to assist my elderly uncle in a Compensation claim. Having never needed a lawyer before, I was completely in the dark, but luck was on our side when I approached the firm CCLS. After meeting with them and explaining the situation, they agreed to take on my Uncles case and from that moment on, I knew we were in great hands.
It was a long and often drawn out procedure, but everything was always handled with tact, professionalism and courtesy. We were kept well informed at all times and things were always explained in ways that we fully understood. CCLS achieved an excellent result for my Uncle and we are eternally grateful for their help.
Whilst I pray to never have need of legal services again, I know that if the time ever comes, I would be in the best of hands and have complete faith in the ability and services of CCLS, and in particular James Parkin, Senior Associate.
I have no hesitation in recommending this firm to anyone who needs smart, loyal and trustworthy service.
I was run over by a truck when I was in primary school and wanted to see if there was any way I could be compensated for the ongoing issues I have as a result of my injuries. My case had many hurdles to overcome and if it wasn’t for the hard work and dedication of the team at CCLS, I might never have been able to achieve the final amazing financial result. A massive shout out to Michelle Meares who was very professional and made sure I understood everything, every step of the way. Words cannot express how thankful I am and I would recommend CCLS to anyone.
Other lawyers were more interested in what my case meant financially to them rather than getting the best outcome for me. James Parkin was a breath of fresh air, he quickly itemised what action needed to be taken, gave me an honest assessment, helpful advice and created a plan which led to a very successful outcome. I can highly recommend CCLS
CCLS handled my Workers Compensation claim which was lengthy, complex and difficult with many issues to deal with. CCLS performed an exceptional job in ensuring that I received what I was entitled to from the Insurer. Their solicitors and staff have been diligent, proactive, communicative and thoughtful, and always focused on getting the best outcome for me. I highly recommend CCLS.
