I joined LHD Lawyers as a Director in January 2018, and established the firm’s Melbourne office. I am experienced in all areas of personal injury litigation in Victoria, with particular expertise in workcover matters. I currently manage the LHD Melbourne office, as well as operating a portfolio of files in the workcover jurisdiction.
I commenced practise in North East Victoria in 2000, and have practised exclusively in personal injury law since that time. I have worked in both plaintiff and defendant roles, which provides me with a well balanced perspective of the personal injury landscape and the claims under my management. I have extensive experience in conducting personal injury claims from commencement through to litigation in each of the Magistrates’, County and Supreme Courts within the Victorian jurisdiction.
I am passionate about assisting my injured clients pursue their entitlements. I provide straightforward and pragmatic legal advice to my clients in order to guide them through the claims process, with the ultimate aim of achieving the best outcome possible. I recognise the trauma that can be caused by significant injuries and take great pride in helping to make a difference in the lives of my clients and their families, and in supporting them through what can be a very difficult and emotional time in their lives.
With many clients residing outside of the Melbourne metropolitan region, I enjoy travelling to all parts of regional Victoria to meet with clients on a regular basis and to conduct matters in regional circuit Court sittings. LHD Lawyers is committed to providing high level legal services to all Victorians, regardless of location.

Steve, Kristy, Marijana and Shannon were so friendly yet professional, and so easy to deal with. Steve in particular was able to explain a very complicated workcover claims process in language I could easily understand. After being rejected by two of the bigger firms, LHD obtained a fantastic result.

We won! We negotiated outside the court and I’m very happy with the outcome. No one worked harder on my case than Steven. Then I was introduced to Marijana — amazing. She listened to my story and understood me like she was there with me.

When I felt let down and defeated by my employers, LHD lawyers supported me throughout the whole ordeal and kept going and not giving up on me! Thank you Steve, Marijana, Monica and everyone else. Definitely recommend LHD lawyers!
