"Well, I am a service person. Joined the Navy at 15, was very athletic and at the end of my career, I finished as a PTI, a physical training instructor.
It was like I came to a dead stop. From being highly motivated and all of a sudden I was flat out walking. It was very emotional because as someone who stood quite tall, I found that I was in a hole that was so deep, I didn't think I'd ever get out of it.
I think Shine are doing a marvellous job. I find it encouraging that we do have people that will go to bat for the underdog or the guy who can't do it for himself. The thing that we really are looking for here is not the money but to allow Shine Lawyers to bring this company to account.
I'm optimistic because they're batting hard for everyone, I know that. Whether they win or lose, I'm going to buy them a drink because I know that they've walked a hard mile, I can tell you."
Our expert lawyers will skilfully highlight the strength of your case, identify your legal rights and entitlements and support you every step of the way.
