“Dear Mr Gajic I write to compliment Helen Voss to you. I telephone Gajic Lawyers today at about 2.30pm regarding a personal injury claim that I currently have in the ACT Supreme Court against Qantas. (I was dumped by the my lawyers last week. See attached). Helen picked up the call even though she works in a different area of the law. Helen was an absolute delight to deal with and could not have been more helpful, caring and understanding. Just a lovely lady. She took some of my details and checked with your solicitors, then telephoned me back within just a few minutes. She actually felt bad for me given that Gajic Lawyers were not able to take on my matter! What an asset Helen is to your team. Kind Regards Ross Kennedy”
