Very happy with the Team. I rang this Practice with some (at best) nebulous questions WRT workplace entitlements around WorkCover and redundancy payments. Joanne Pappas took my call and said watch this space. Mark Comito rang me the following day and was all over it; he already had all the answers I was looking for.

On behalf of Watsonia Heights (Soccer) FC, we'd like to thank Mark and his team for their guidance, support and their understanding in assisting our Community Club to recover funds. There are always individuals out there looking to take advantage of the Volunteers in Community clubs, reneging on promises etc. STAL Employment Lawyers were a great help on getting our club some recompense for being treated disrespectfully.

I highly recommend Mark and the team at Stal Employment. Mark’s expertise and strategic guidance were invaluable in helping me navigate a difficult employment dispute. From the outset, he had a clear understanding of the best path forward and remained consistent in his approach, even as the respondent party changed theirs multiple times. He was prompt and clear in his communication, which gave me confidence and peace of mind throughout the process. I felt well-represented and supported during what was a very challenging time.
