Tina Veivers
Director / Lawyer

Our Firm
Our firm was established by Tina Veivers who is a Queensland Law Society Accredited Specialist with 20 years of experience in managing compensation claims. The firm was set up to transform the experience plaintiffs have going through the compensation claim process and litigation process in the following ways:
We have observed over a number of years that compensation law firms have tended to treat clients as a number and a means of generating fees, with a lack of personalised service provided. South East Lawyers was set up to change the status quo.
We are strong believers that your settlement payout will need to sustain you for a life time of pain and disability, and we are always mindful of this when charging fees at the conclusion of a claim.
We understand that the litigation process can be harrowing and that plaintiffs going through this process are often stressed, upset and confused. Tina and her team are renowned for providing the compassionate support and direction that is needed during these stressful times.
We have observed that many compensation law firms under settle claims in that they are more interested in getting their fees than a maximum result for the client. We do everything in our power to get clients the best result they can from their claim in the shortest time frame and we will never under settle a claim!
Some of our staff have actually worked for defendant insurance firms and so know the tricks of the trade and how to negotiate successfully against such firms.
Our team’s advice is down to earth and compassionate. They will get you the result you deserve!!
We are dedicated to protecting and promoting justice, freedom and the rights of the individuals in our community through our membership with the Australian Lawyers Alliance.
No Win, No Fee Promise
WE OPERATE ON A STRICTLY NO WIN, NO FEE BASIS.
Our competitors treat clients as a number and a means of generating fees, with a lack of personalised service provided. At South East Lawyers it is our mission to change the status quo.
YOUR CLAIM WILL BE RUN ONLY BY SENIOR EXPERT LAWYERS AND NOT JUNIOR STAFF OR PARALEGALS.
This unfortunately this is the reality in many compensation law firms where you will meet with a senior practitioner initially and the claim will then be run by a junior staff to keep down costs.
WE WILL STRIVE TO RESOLVE YOUR CLAIM FOR A MAXIMUM AMOUNT IN A MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME.
OUR FOCUS IS ON GETTING YOU A SETTLEMENT PAYOUT THAT IS FOR YOUR LIFETIME OF PAIN AND DISABILITY, NOT OUR BOTTOM LINE.
WE PROVIDE COMPASSIONATE ADVICE AND DOWN TO EARTH COMMUNICATION.
RISK FREE CLAIM AT NO COST
Pursue your claim free of the risk of incurring any legal costs and expenses. We incur the loss of unsuccessful claims.
We strongly believe that everyone should have the ability to obtain legal representation where they do not have the finances for a lawyer.
“Tina and her team were very good in terms of assessing the case, lodging the claims and communicating every steps it until a smooth settlement. I wish Tina and her team all the best for future endeavours and thanks for all the work you’ve done.”
