Restitution
By Shine Lawyers
Nobody wants to go to court, but sometimes ordinary people are forced into extraordinary circumstances. When you’re injured at work and your boss says it’s your fault. When you’re in agonising pain and nobody believes you. When someone you trust takes advantage of you. It's time to make a stand. Faced with injustice, the people you’ll meet in this podcast refused to be silenced. These are the real-life stories behind some of the biggest court battles in the history of one of Australia’s largest personal injury law firms.
Restitution is a podcast by Shine Lawyers inspired by the book The Right Side of Wrong by firm co-founder Stephen Roche. For more than 45 years, Shine Lawyers has been standing up for the little guy. But it’s the courage of our clients that allows us to right wrong.
