Lawyers and accreditation

The Queensland Law Society register lists Managing Director Shane Crew as an Accredited Specialist in Personal Injuries Law. According to the firm’s team page, he has practised in injury law for more than 23 years. It also describes him as a past committee member of the QLS Personal Injury Accredited Specialist Advisory Committee.

The QLS register lists three solicitors at the firm, including director Hayley Clark. The firm says she was admitted in 2014 and has practised solely in personal injury law.

Fees and costs

On fees, Crew Legal offers a free first consultation. It also states the terms that apply where it accepts a matter on a ‘No Win/No Fee’ basis. In that case, no costs are payable unless the case settles or a decision goes in the client’s favour. Similarly, the client pays no fees for work done if the claim is unsuccessful.

The firm explains that in successful matters the respondent often pays between 50% and 70% of the client’s legal costs in addition to damages. As a result, only the gap comes out of the damages. However, a matter may not meet the costs thresholds. Where that happens, the firm says its professional fees will not exceed half of the amount the client receives. This is in line with the Legal Profession Act.
