"I focus on the end game and each step needed to get my client to that end goal"

Dionne is a Special Counsel with Shine Lawyers' personal injury practice in South Australia, advocating for clients who have been seriously injured through no fault of their own.

With more than 15 years in personal injury law, Dionne helps her clients navigate the legal system and overcome roadblocks from well-resourced defendants and insurers. She knows that securing the right outcome requires relentless focus at every step, and that is precisely what she brings.

Before making her mark in personal injury, Dionne built a broad legal foundation in Queensland — first providing legal aid representation, then advising on matters before the state coroner. She returned to South Australia to begin her personal injury practice in 2011.

Before her legal career, Dionne worked across Australia's shearing industry in remote outback South Australia, Queensland, and New South Wales, with a short stint in New Zealand. The work was physically demanding and often isolating, far removed from towns and comforts. The resilience it required is something she carries with her every day in practice.
