I would like to pass on my sincere recommendation and thanks to Caroll O’Dea Lawyers. Their capable team helped me to achieve the outcome my personal injury case deserved and throughout the entire process I was met with humanity, respect and understanding for my situation.
My lawyer Sabrina and her colleagues Jennifer and Brittany were incredibly professional and confident in their field and they always treated me with kindness, patience and understanding. English is not my first language and they took their time to thoroughly explain things to me in a way that I could understand.
I recommend this practice highly and I am extremely grateful to them for their support throughout my claims process.

I can't thank Sabrina Morell, Jennifer La and Brittany Lofquist enough for their help. Right throughout the process of my compensation claim, they were professional, always kind and very easy to communicate with. They worked through my claim quickly and efficiently and they readily and clearly answered all of my questions, alleviating so much of the stress that comes with these processes. And in the end, they achieved an amazing result for me! I would happily recommend Carroll and O'Dea Lawyers to anyone who has a compensation claim.

Carroll & O'Dea Lawyers have been supporting my wife with her work place injury, return to work, rights and compensation. They are highly knowledgeable and experienced in workers compensation related matters and have been actively fighting for our rights. Our liaison Sabrina Morell has been outstanding to work with. Sabrina has helped immensely to support my wife through this difficult period and possesses a deep understanding of the law and workers rights, even correcting the insurer in certain instances where they had provided incorrect information. We are very grateful to have Sabrina on our case and I would strongly recommend her for anyone who is experiencing a work related injury and/or dispute.

I was so fortunate to have chosen Carroll & O'Dea Lawyers Parramatta office to handle my case. I have been suffering from mental health illness due to bullying and harassment in the workplace. And the Insurance company has rejected my Workcover claim.
Scott Dougall, Sabrina Bathgate and the team guided me through the tough time. They were exceptionally professionals, very helpful and compassionate. My case was a difficult one but Sabrina, Scott and the Barrister Craig Tanner were proactive and handled my case well. At the end I have achieved the best outcome possible.
Highly recommend Scott, Sabrina and the team at Carroll & O'Dea Parramatta for your personal injury disputes.

Brilliant! The only way to describe the workers comp team at Carroll & O’Dea Parramatta. A second successful outcome was achieved and I can’t thank Sabrina and her side kick Jacqueline, under the wise guidance of Scott once again.
They were professional without complication, transparent and entirely responsive. I received such genuine and honest support throughout the whole process.
Thanks so much for treating me with such dignity and respect. I would, without hesitation, recommend the Carroll and O’Dea team to anyone seeking assistance. A massive thank you from me!

I would like to highly recommend the legal firm Carroll & O’Dea Lawyers Parramatta Office for their exemplary service, advice, professionalism and invaluable support to my partner throughout her Worker Compensation case.
We dealt with Scott Dougall & Sabrina Bathgate. Sabrina used her skills and knowledge to advance the matter in a supportive, patient and very thorough way. Sabrina had a high attention to detail and was able to understand and process the details of our complex matter in a comprehensive way while dealing compassionately with us. Our case had a series of arbitration hearings and Sabrina was really well prepared and supported us throughout the process.
Sabrina with her compassionate but professional attitude, knowledge and support lead to a successful outcome of our case. Thanks again for the brilliant job from day one. I highly recommend Sabrina Bathgate, Scott Dougall and the team to anyone seeking help, advice and representation with their Workers Compensation case. A huge thank you to Carroll & O’Dea.

I have been with Scott Dougall for over 10 years and recently the wonderful Sabrina Bathgate. My matter was a rather complicated Workers Comp case which was handled by this wonderful team with dedication and support. Scott and Sabrina are both talented and empathic Lawyers, they achieved a very agreeable outcome to my case but what I loved most of all was the clear communication and respect they showed me throughout an extremely trying time. I could not recommend this Legal firm more highly.

Carroll & O’Dea Lawyers Parramatta represented my son who at the time was still a minor. Four years ago we were fortunate to have a meeting with Scott Dougall. From the moment we met Scott we were drawn to his calmness, compassion, and personable demeanour.
During the this time, we were always kept informed, updated regularly, explained everything in detail making it very easy and comforting knowing we were in good hands. Scott’s Analytical skills, perseverance, understanding our circumstances and the stress and uncertainty we were feeling during the process was impeccable. Forward 4 years, saw Scott bring my sons case to a successful resolution. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Scott Dougall of Caroll & O'Dea Parramatta if you are looking for that person who will have your back and be on your side from beginning to end.
I would also like to acknowledge Sabrina Bathgate, an amazing young lady, who explained and followed up with me making sure I understood and completed everything on our end, Sabrina was certainly a great support to me. Thank You Scott Dougall and Sabrina!
