I first contacted McLean and Santoro Lawyers having no idea about the process and direction I should be undertaking with a complex case regarding Return to Work and an injury I sustained. The complexity was I have an underlying condition which was aggravated due to an injury I suffered while at work! My partner and I met with Mr Hugh McLean who informed us that I had a case and he would be willing to take it on. Hugh from then on was inspirational in gathering my medical evidence, organizing medical examinations and being very supportive to me during times of frustration and offering information

Hugh McLean supported me through a Work Cover/Return to Work issue over a two year period. From the initial consultation I knew I was in good hands. He guided and supported me through a very challenging time, removing the stress of dealing directly with my employer. Hugh introduced me to other support professionals who had a positive impact on every aspect of my life. Every request made to Hugh was completed professionally and in a timely fashion. Research, Information Sharing and Communication throughout the process was of a high standard. Hugh is a gentleman and a professional. The final account

I highly recommend Maclean Santoro lawyers to anyone needing legal advice. Hugh went out of his way to help, and managed to complete my claims, thoroughly and with expediency. My fee, overall, was minimal, with the amount of effort that must have been applied to gain compensable remuneration. Yes, a true gentleman, and one that genuinely cares!

I initially contacted Hugh McLean after sustaining an injury in a MVA in late 2009. Hugh explained in easy to understand terms what to expect from investigations, legal processes, his recommendations and answered any questions that I had about seeking compensation. It is now 2014 some 5 years on. Hugh has been in close contact with me throughout this time keeping me up to date on all progress made. His professionalism and dedication in obtaining the best possible outcome for my claim is without question of an exceptional standard. I have confidence that my best interests are being well represented
